Profile of Market Area

Whether supplying electrical energy for a German Mountaineering Club hut in Bavaria or for lighting in a clay hut in Morocco, photovoltaics offers, in most cases, a power supply at lowest cost when no public grid is available . This is similarly valid for the millions of parking meters, telecommunication and telematic systems. Devices powered by the sun offer a large degree of comfort and save operating costs. We develop reliable technical systems which are optimised according to the lifetime system costs and are designed to provide energy under demanding conditions. Using our socio-economic experience, integrated systems are created.

We also develop electrical system components such as inverters, charge controllers, battery systems, etc. For more information, please refer to the market area entitled “System Components” . For both stationary and portable systems, we develop current generators like micro fuel cells, fuel cell systems or highly efficient solar modules for the integration into devices .
