Even quicker and simpler: The new IBC solar power calculator makes planning more efficient

IBC-Solarstromrechner-ModulbelegungWe have given our tried-and-tested IBC solar power calculator an extensive update just in time for Intersolar 2016 which now makes planning new solar energy systems even simpler and more efficient.
