Mr. Delev, congratulations on the „Business Leader – Green Energy 2024“ award! When did Mega Solar Power’s business start? What does the company offer?

On behalf of my team and myself, thank you for the award! Legally, the company exists since 2021, but the idea for the realization of our activity was born much earlier – since 2015. Back then, my partners were developing successful renewable energy projects in one of the most advanced countries with investments in this industry in Europe – the Netherlands. I myself have been inspired all my life by the idea of healthy living and this concept has been further developed through the implementation of another eco-friendly business like Mega Solar Power. The company offers a wide range of products and services including, but not limited to, installation and maintenance of photovoltaic systems, energy storage systems and complete energy management solutions for both private homes and businesses.

You run a successful business in three different areas – sportswear and accessories, eco food, solar installations. What unites your companies in this business environment and what makes you different?

Our companies are the product of a shared commitment to sustainability, innovation and new times (modernity). Although our activities are in different areas – sporting goods, eco-food and green energy, our common goal is to go hand in hand with the trends of the times and offer products and services that are not only up to date with technological and industrial innovations but are also responsible to the planet. We manage to integrate the diverse features of sustainable business into every aspect of our operations and generate positive change in society and the environment through each of our companies. When it comes to Mega Solar Power specifically, what really sets us apart is our holistic customer care. We don’t just offer PV installations; we offer a complete plant service from survey and solar audit through to design and construction. We take care of the administrative processes, providing the customer with an accurate account of their investment and its return. The speed and quality of our work is second to none.

What are the main factors for the success of Green Companies?

In each market, across continents, the factors differ. From my experience in implementing projects in the European market, the keys to success for this type of company are innovation and pioneering.

There is no exact formula for success in this area, but inevitably it relies on investment in innovation – a constant drive for improvements in sustainable technologies, processes and products, as well as sustainable resource management, customer focus, flexibility and adaptability, partnerships and collaborations, and last but not least a commitment to social responsibility. Marketing communications is also not to be underestimated in the equation.

Which of your investments are key to the success of your business?       

Business success is not the result of just one or two specific investments, but of a set of strategic decisions and efforts. Investments in people and technology solutions are essential to each of my businesses. Constantly improving the skills and competencies of our teams, as well as implementing innovative technologies, allows us to stay up-to-date and responsive to our clients’ needs in a dynamic business environment.

 What team are you currently working with? Is it easy to create a successful team?

We are currently working with a highly motivated and committed team that consists of professionals with skills and experience in a variety of fields. I have had the patience and luck to find people who share our vision and values and are willing to work hard to achieve our common goals. Building a successful team takes time, it is achieved with the right approach and effort. We have created a supportive work environment where every team member feels motivated and valued, and we maintain effective communication and management.

 What are the trends in the Solar and Energy industry globally?

Globally, trends in the solar and energy industry include declining prices for major components – panels and inverters, increasing installed capacity of solar power plants, integration of solar energy into existing power systems and investment in renewable energy sources. These trends are expected to continue to strengthen and play an increasingly important role in global energy production.

Will Artificial Intelligence benefit your business?

Artificial Intelligence offers huge potential for improving efficiency and innovation in every area of business. In my business, I believe using AI can help us automate tasks, analyze large volumes of data, and anticipate market trends. We are already actively leveraging the capabilities of AI and its implementation is happening in a very natural way.

How do you feel about competition?

Personally, I have always seen competition as an opportunity for improvement and growth. My team and I are respectful of our competitors and always strive to create unique value for our clients that differentiates us in the marketplace. Competition is an important incentive for us that motivates us to evolve and offer better products and services.

 What is your definition of success?

Success for me is perseverance, the ability to adapt to changing circumstances and to achieve inner satisfaction with the results. Success for me is making a positive impact on society and business, achieving the goals and strategies I have set for myself while achieving harmony and balance between my personal and professional life.

As a visionary, what do you think are the challenges facing the industry, and your own?

As we aim to contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable future by helping our customers reduce their carbon footprint and use energy more efficiently, it is extremely challenging to change people’s attitudes towards the idea of implementing these advanced solutions. The challenges I face as a company leader include constantly seeking innovative ways to address the complexities of a changing marketplace and to inspire our teams to overcome challenges and obstacles with confidence and determination.

Are you planning a new line of business? What would you invest in the future?

 I am always open to new opportunities to expand the business and develop new areas. In the future I would invest in areas that I see as evolving and promising for innovation and development. Especially those that have the potential to create significant value for society and business.

You are a pretty busy person; do you have time to relax and what are your favorite destinations?

I believe that a balance between work and leisure is essential to maintaining high productivity and good health. My top destination is SUCCESS and the other is HAPPINESS, so no matter where I am physically, I never stop thinking about the progress of the business and how to create a better future for others and the society I live in.
