The company highlighted how the US solar power purchase agreement may involve up to $8 billion (£4.8 billion) in photovoltaic energy generation.
Al Velosa, research director at Gartner, commented that it is essential that IT value chain vendors focus on delivering a service that focuses on both their existing customers and the new ones that appear as a result of the purchase agreement funding.
He explained that not many sellers dedicated much time to researching this sector in the IT industry.
Mr Velosa added: "If they are able to develop a coherent renewable energy marketing strategy that serves … start-ups with a laser focus on this market segment, then they will reap the rewards."
This week, Gartner suggested that IT leaders must restructure their businesses to deal with decreasing revenues and profits.
