Floating PV

sbp sonne’s innovative FPV system consist of air-filled floating units (membrane “tubes”), like an inflatable boat. This concept enables very fast installation, while the geometry and internal pressure of the tubes can easily be adapted to the site and environmental conditions. Our FPV system called Gömbhal, Hungarian for pufferfish, thus reacts to special situations similar …

Parking lot PV

A second income for your parking lots As electromobility increases, the infrastructure for supplying renewable energy needs to be expanded. Parking lots lend themselves for such purpose. Activating a parking space by covering it with PV modules offers enormous potential. Renewable energy is generated where it is consumed – for example, at the charging stations …

Agricultural PV

Adding value to agricultural land With so many decades of experience in the development of solar technologies, sbp sonne is the right partner for technology engineering and optimization also of Agricultural PV systems. We develop cost-effective systems based on a holistic approach to maximize the value of both the PV yield and the agricultural product. …

Building integrated PV

Solar Facades and Roofs As a sbp company, sbp sonne offers consulting, design, modeling, calculation and construction design for any project involving building-integrated photovoltaics. We benefit from the extensive knowledge on roof structures, facades and lightweight structures to design and install BIPV for buildings and structures at any given location. Replacing conventional building materials with …

Heliostats

A paradigm shift in the evolution of heliostats Stellio is sbp sonne’s innovative heliostat developed in collaboration with our partners Ingemetal and Masermic. This heliostat has a pentagonal shape which allows for dense heliostat field layouts with little shading and blocking and reduced atmospheric attenuation compared to rectangular heliostats. Its new axis arrangement allows the …

Parabolic Troughs

Proven state of the art for CSP Over the years, sbp sonne developed and licensed three different types of parabolic trough collectors: the EuroTrough, the HelioTrough and the UltimateTrough. We are now focusing on the distribution and commercialization of the ‘HelioTrough’ and ‘UltimateTrough’, as these collector developments have been proven to significantly reduce costs and …

PV Tracker

Chasing the sun A PV tracker can increase the output of photovoltaic systems by 30 or even 40 percent compared to fixed installations. sbp sonne develops and optimizes PV trackers despite complex boundary conditions that mechanically adjust the orientation of photovoltaic modules towards the sun to minimize the angle of incidence between the incoming sun …
