PV-Tracker Third-party Consulting

sbp sonne is a highly reputable consulting engineering office with over 40 years of experience in the solar industry. Since   20 years, we provide consulting services for all stakeholders within the PV- and PV-Tracker industry. 

PV-Tracker Root-Cause Analysis

Based on our broad experience within the industry and our wide in-house knowledge about the specific behavior of single-axis tracking structures, sbp sonne serves as independent expert consultant for structural failure / root-cause analysis investigations.

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.
