Efficient energy solutions with photovoltaics, storage and energy management. A system that pays off for companies worldwide.

There is no need to convince anyone that the construction of a solar power plant is an investment in the future, allowing us to become independent from energy grids, and with the perspective of large savings.

In fact, companies must react to rising energy costs and at the same time reduce their carbon footprint for ecological reasons. This cannot be achieved by saving electricity alone. One option is the use of self-generated solar power, ideally in combination with intelligent energy management.

One thing is certain: energy will not become cheaper in the near future. This also applies to electricity used by businesses. Commercial electricity in Germany currently costs between 18 and 23 cents per kilowatt hour, and the trend is rising. This is a burden for small and medium-sized enterprises. One way out is solar electricity that a company generates itself and uses mainly for its own consumption. For a medium-sized company, it costs about 6 to 8 cents per kilowatt hour, which is significantly cheaper than conventionally generated electrical energy.
