Investing in solar power is a forward-looking decision. As a reliable, sustainable source of revenuein a large-scale solar free-field installation, or on the roof of a business or private home to provide independency from utility companies – we have the perfect solution for you.
Private customersEnergy prices going up? You don’t agree with the current energy policy? More and more people want to be independent and produce their own power. With our solar systems it’s much easier than many people think. Government subsidies are available in many countries for producing electricity from sunlight. Even if the power goes directly from your roof to your power points. Drawing on more than 13 years of experience we can offer the right complete solution for any private roof – for pitched roofs with dormers, bays and ‘corners’ or flat roofs on bungalows.
Commercial customersThose with a mind for business can turn their unused roof into a profitable investment by installing an on-roof solar system or lease the space. Thiscreates healthy and reliable revenue for years to come – and high energy bills become a thing of the past. In many countries, solar electricity that you consume yourself is already remunerated by the state. In addition,small businesses, supermarkets and factories can boost their green image in the eyes of their employees and customers by investing in solar. Thebuzzword is CO2 neutrality.
investorsSunlight powers growth. Even in terms of investment. An investment in solar power is a safe, profitable and forward-looking capital investment. It generatesabove-average returns on equity over 20 years or more. Conergy is one of the leading specialists for megawatt-class solar parks. With seamlessly integrated systems and comprehensive services including planning, site development, financial advice, installation and operation right through to the perfectly monitored system, Conergy is the perfect partner.
For the independent, the entrepreneurs and those with an eye on the future

17Quality
No one’s quality control is more rigorousOur hard work pays off when Conergy customers are so impressed that they recommend their solar system. “No hassles and a thoroughly pleasant experience. My system has been running without a hitch for years and years and provides me with more electricity than I thought.” Wishful thinking? Definitely not. We know that our customers are more satisfied. They can rely on Conergy quality in products and services, tried and tested through rigorous quality control. Personal consulting is provided by highly trained employees or certified partners.
Quality without compromiseConsistent quality is never achieved bychance. For us one thing is clear - we never compromise on quality. Each and every material, every supplier and every component – in fact everything that enters or leaves our factory – is carefully checked. Not just once, butrepeatedly under the most rigorousquality testing process in the industry.And only when there is nothing left tocheck are we are happy to say that everything meets Conergy’s premiumquality standards.
the most rigorous testing for greater peace of mindThe fact that we go the extra mile isreflected in very high levels of customersatisfaction. To make sure it stays thatway, we expose our high-performancemodules to all sorts of stresses andstrains, including hail balls measuring 55mm diameter at speeds of 122km/h in simulated hail tests for example. We cool our modules to -40°C and heat
them up to 85°C. We expose them to loads equivalent to the weight of an adult camel and test their resistance toammonia, damp and salt corrosion.The result: our PowerPlus modules willsupply electricity for 25 years –guaranteed. And thanks to our positiveperformance tolerance even up to 3%more than the nominal output.
top marks for Conergy The same stringent standards are alsoapplied to our other products and services. Our countless quality certificates and top marks in independent testing are proof of that. Our employees are proud: “Conergyis a quality champion.”
Quality at a glance:
Product and performance warranties: | Up to 10-year product warranty on mounting
systems, electronics and modules | 25-year performance warranty on modules
Modules tested for resistance to: | Corrosion | Ammonia and salt spray | Hail | Temperature differentials (–40°C/+80°C) | Loads (6000 Pa)

With us the sun also shines at night
At Conergy we see the bigger picture.This enables us to impress customers,partners and the market again and again with new, improved solutions.For example, our Conergy Completesystems. These allow installers to plan,install and monitor complete solar power systems more quickly and easily.Another example is our new solar storage solution that ensures solar energy also flows when the moon’s shining.
Conergy is a pioneerWe have introduced many innovativesolutions on to the market, which setthe standard for the industry and giveour competitors something to aim for.Cells with three busbars, water-proofand fully encapsulated connectionboxes and frames without hollowchambers, for example. And with ourown consumption solution we continueto lead the market.
Storing solar energy increases independence As attitudes towards energy change more and more people will be aiming for increased independence from today’s energy suppliers to look after their own energy supply. We have developed an intelligent storage solution that now enables our customers to ‘store’ any excess powerthey have produced. This provides abuffer against outages and increasesthe state-remunerated percentage ofown consumption to 70 per cent ormore.
We make installers’ lives easierIf you’ve been in the business for aslong as we have, you know whatinstallers want. Solar energy systemsthat are well thought-out from beginning to end, that save time and hassle and that satisfy customers. And that’s exactly what our new Conergy Complete systems do. They speed up the planning process, make ordering easier and eliminate delays. And thanks to one-man installation, they speed things up on-site.
a pioneer thinks aheadIdeas need to be nurtured. That’s whywe work closely with universities andengage highly qualified researchers. Wesee ourselves as an active driver of theindustry, with the objective of makingsolar energy solutions smarter, morecost-efficient and more reliable.
