Seven years ago, Mastervolt’s partner S.A.G. Solarstrom AG Freiburg started as operator of solar power plants and was the first solar stock corporation in the whole of Europe at that time. Today, it is one of the biggest producers of solar power in the German-speaking region and at the same time a leading innovator for photovoltaic-based financial products. In 2006, it intends to reach a turnover of 120 million Euros. Now, the company wants to conquer the European market.
Own solar power plants The company’s business is based on four pillars: It plans, constructs and operates turnkey solar power plants being marketed as financial products. Via a franchise system, including 80 partner companies, it sells solar power plants to private and commercial building owners with their own roof. Furthermore, it operates own solar power plants with a total capacity of 4 MWp. And finally it offers remote monitoring solutions and weather information for regenerative energy supply facilities via its independent subsidiary meteocontrol GmbH.
Mastervolt as solid partner Mastervolt is one of four manufacturers of inverters closely cooperating with S.A.G. Solarstrom. “It is our policy not to tie ourselves to only one manufacturer” says Dirk Morbitzer, Purchasing Manager. Since Mastervolt does not yet offer central inverters, their devices are mostly used for the private consumer market. Dirk Morbitzer generally attests to the good quality of Mastervolt products. ”Depending on the type of module being used in the installation, they achieve very good results. Especially in combination with Solon solar modules, they are unbeatable.“
And he adds “We highly appreciate Mastervolt for our positive cooperation, the reliability of its inverters and the adherence of delivery dates”. In an internal assessment procedure recently carried out by S.A.G. Solarstrom for suppliers, Mastervolt received a good to very good rating. Mastervolt is also one of the inverter manufacturers working very closely with meteocontrol GmbH and fully providing all monitoring options for their inverters. ----------- In der Vielfalt der Möglichkeiten und Antworten liegt der Schlüssel und die Weisheit der Massen. |
