So environmentally friendly are solar systems

How much energy does a photovoltaic system take to produce? What is its carbon footprint? These questions come up again and again in discussions about the energy transition and the expansion of renewables. However, the myth persists that solar power systems take more energy to produce than they generate during their lifespan. This statement is definitively untrue. (more…)

Three new major projects in Asia went into operation

Project Phalodi with 22.5 MWp in India

At the end of May, we put the photovoltaic project Phalodi with a total capacity of 22.5 MWp in India into operation. Phalodi is already our sixth project in India. In total, we have 50 MWp installed capacity in the country. In Japan, also in May we realized two new PV plants in the prefectures of Saitama and Ibaraki with a total output of 3.5 MWp. By the end of the year we will have developed, built and sold more than 25 MWp in Japan to private investors. (more…)

The cable is what matters

Solar cable IBC FlexiSun

What are the main components of a PV system? To be precise: Modules, inverters, the substructure. However, there are even more… plugs, fuses, terminal boxes… and a lot of solar cables. And these cables are exactly what our current blog article is all about. System planners solely focus all too often on the main components. These components must be of high quality and durable. However, very often defective solar cables cause a system failure. (mehr…)
