Sunshine is our business.

Sunshine is our business, and our customers' business too. Our subsidiary Centrosolar AG concentrates on the market for small systems for private houses, an area in which we have established a position among Europe's leaders over recent years. Our integrated systems on residential roofs generate renewable power that can be fed into the grid, thus cutting CO₂ emissions and promoting greater sustainability.

Roof systems should be attractive as well as functional. They should blend neatly into the architecture as well as generate power. That is what both homeowners and the law want. Building-integrated photovoltaic systems therefore attract particularly high feed-in tariffs in many countries, such as France. Much to the satisfaction of Centrosolar AG, because roof-integrated systems have always been our speciality. We have now established a position among the front-runners in markets such as France and Germany with roof systems that are incorporated flush with the roof. But development work continues: in future, roofs will consist entirely of modules such as our "solar tiles", which create a continuous surface that both generates power and protects the house against the elements.

Solar modules have to withstand extreme loads over decades, exposed as they are to the elements. That is what the customer expects, and that is what we guarantee. Exemplary high-quality manufacturing operations in our home market of Germany are therefore our guarantee of success – in international business, too. Our Centrosolar Sonnenstromfabrik GmbH: with a capacity of 155 MWp our Wismar plant is not only one of the largest but also most efficient module plants anywhere in Europe.
