We supply technology
for the energy of the future

The power of nature as a natural energy supplierPreserving our nature and promoting climate-friendly energy production is what we set out to do many years ago. In doing so, we rely on the oldest energy source with the greatest potential - the sun.

Research & development in our own laboratoryIn our laboratory, new next generation materials and processes are tested up to a size of 30 x 30 cm², characterizations and simulations or outdoor monitoring of local and worldwide test fields are performed in alignment with leading international test laboratories.

Transition to production for maximum useDuring industrialization, laboratory processes are upscaled to industrial facilities, adjustments are made to optimize throughput and reduce costs, and new and further development of in-house production facilities is driven forward.
