Solar folding roof technology sets course for the German market
The Graubünden-based company dhp Technology has founded a subsidiary in Stuttgart. The cleantech company has already equipped three German sewage treatment plants with solar folding roofs.
According to a press release, dhp Technology AG has founded a subsidiary in Stuttgart, Germany. The provider of the “globally unique solar folding roof” is thus emphasising its ambition to drive forward the energy transition with innovative photovoltaic solutions in Germany too, the press release continues. With the establishment of dhp Technology Deutschland GmbH, the company is laying the foundations for a long-term presence in the German market.
“The expansion into Germany is a logical consequence of the sharp rise in demand for our innovative photovoltaic solution,” said co-founder and CEO Gian Andri Diem. In Germany, the market potential for solar folding roofs is huge, particularly with regard to sewage treatment plants, car parks and logistics areas.
The branch in Stuttgart is managed by Gian Andri Diem, CEO of dhp Technology, and Torsten Brandstetter as Managing Director. Brandstetter is an industrial engineer with experience in the energy industry and technological innovation.
dhp Technology is a developer and supplier of solar folding roofs. These are specially designed for installation over sealed surfaces and existing infrastructures. Depending on the weather, they fold up or down automatically. This enables communities and companies to produce electricity locally and sustainably without taking up additional ground space.
Solar folding roofs from dhp Technology are already in operation at three German sewage treatment plants. A further ten systems are in the implementation phase and are due to be connected to the grid this year, according to the company press release.
