The verdict

Solar Energy Solutions runs at 160% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Solar workplace, earning a grade D.

Solar Energy Solutions: 4.5 TCR = 160% of Solar BLS 2.8 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Solar Energy Solutions safety composite

Solar Energy Solutions scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 43%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
