In addition, service providers that take care of the financing, installation and maintenance of solar systems are considered.
The benchmark index comprises at least 20 companies that are weighted according to their level of involvement in the solar industry and their market capitalisation. The weighting of a stock is limited to a maximum of 10 per cent.
Companies with business activities in the areas of nuclear energy, thermal coal and oil and gas are excluded from the index.
