Germany’s Belectric held the top spot for the second consecutive year, putting up nearly 400MW of PV capacity around the world in 2011, according to new figures published by IMS Research.

Belectric – known as Beck Energy until early 2011 – builds and sells ground-mounted and some large rooftop PV systems, and has more than 2,000 employees worldwide.

In addition to its massive project planning division, the company makes a number of balance-of-system components in-house.
