Photomate Caucasus has expanded beyond equipment distribution. It now offers a wider range of solar project services across the Caucasus.

The company says it began this transition in early 2025 as demand grew for technical support throughout the lifecycle of solar plants.

Photomate has traditionally supplied Huawei inverters and energy-storage systems, as well as Astronergy solar modules.

It now also provides project design, supervision, operations and maintenance, and monitoring. Photomate works with project partners to deliver EPC services.

From equipment supply to project delivery

The change reflects a wider shift in the regional solar market as projects become larger and developers require more support with engineering, construction quality and long-term asset performance.

“Supplying world-class technology is only the first step. To ensure a solar plant operates safely and at peak efficiency over its entire lifecycle, equipment must be backed by expert execution and continuous care,” David Tkeshelashvili, Regional Director of Photomate Caucasus, said.

Photomate’s expanded scope is intended to connect the equipment-supply stage with local project implementation and continuing technical support after construction.

The company describes the model as a full-solution approach. In practice, this covers distribution, design, EPC delivery with partners, project supervision, operations and maintenance, and monitoring.

This structure allows Photomate to remain involved beyond procurement while drawing on external partners where required for EPC execution.

Sartichala project provides a recent example

Photomate identifies the 7.8 MW Sartichala solar project in Georgia as the latest example of the expanded model.

According to the company, Photomate is delivering the project under a full EPC scope together with its partners and is also providing project supervision.

The example marks a broader role than conventional equipment distribution, placing the company within the coordination and technical delivery of the plant itself.

Photomate has not presented the expansion as a withdrawal from distribution. Equipment supply remains part of the model but is now positioned alongside engineering and lifecycle services.

Regional service model

The expanded services are offered across the Caucasus market.

Photomate says combining equipment supply with engineering, supervision and operational support can simplify project coordination for developers.

As solar deployment increases across Georgia and neighbouring markets, the company expects developers to place greater emphasis on the quality of execution, plant monitoring and long-term operating performance in addition to equipment selection.

The move places Photomate Caucasus among the companies seeking to provide a broader technical and commercial interface between international solar technology and local project delivery.
