Photovoltaics convert sunlight into electricity — enabling decentralized energy supply, self-consumption, and CO₂ savings for businesses and industry.
Photovoltaics (PV) refers to the direct conversion of sunlight into electrical energy using solar cells. PV systems are one of the most important technologies for renewable energy generation and form the foundation of many decentralized electricity supply solutions.
Solar cells — usually made of silicon — convert incoming sunlight into direct current (DC). An inverter then converts this electricity into grid-compatible alternating current (AC).
The generated electricity can be:
The capacity of a PV system is expressed in kilowatt-peak (kWp), which indicates the maximum output under standardized test conditions.
• Commercial rooftop installations with self-consumption optimization
• Combination with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to increase self-sufficiency
• Ground-mounted PV plants for grid feed-in or electricity trading
• Tenant electricity and energy community models
• Power supply for off-grid systems
• System size (kWp): maximum potential output under optimal conditions
• Energy yield (kWh/year): depends on location, orientation, and weather conditions
• Self-consumption rate: share of PV electricity used directly on-site
• Payback period: time required for the system to become economically profitable
• CO₂ savings: environmental benefit compared to electricity from the grid mix
Photovoltaics is a proven, cost-efficient, and scalable technology for sustainable electricity generation. In combination with battery storage and intelligent energy management, PV systems become a key component of self-sufficient, resilient, and economically efficient energy solutions for both companies and households.
