Techno-economic development of solar components

We are continually breaking new ground and developing solar technology solutions that meet the tasks at hand – both in the PV and CSP market. From early concept design to the last bolt of the serial production process, sbp sonne covers every stage of the technology development.

PV-Tracker Projects Review

sbp sonne offers comprehensive services in the field of qualification, certification and structural testing of PV tracker systems, components and installations. We apply the basic principles of German test engineering, in particular the complete and independent comparative calculation of the proposed structures using our own models and calculation algorithms.

Feasibility & optimization studies

Minimizing the cost per kilowatt-hour for the electric energy provided or maximizing ROI is the main objective of solar power plant design and optimization. Thus, it can be reasonable to accept higher investment cost if, in return, the performance and output rise significantly, or the operating expenses decrease.
