SUN CONTRACTING LAUNCHES IN ITALY: FIRST PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM TO SUPPLY OVER 2,400 HOUSEHOLDS IN SORBOLO

The Sun Contracting Group is expanding its international portfolio of photovoltaic systems and entering the Italian market. With the launch in Sorbolo, in the province of Parma, in the heart of Italy, the company is sending a strong signal about its expansion strategy.

„The photovoltaic plant in Sorbolo reaches a total capacity of around 6 megawatt-peak (MWp) and generates up to 9.6 million kilowatt-hours of clean solar energy annually,” explains Sun Contracting Italy Managing Director, Ing. Alexander Schauer. The single-axis tracker system used allows the photovoltaic modules to automatically align with the position of the sun, significantly increasing energy yield. These systems are modeled after the sunflower. With its first project on Italian soil, Sun Contracting underlines its role as a rising player in the European photovoltaic market.

„This market entry is an important step in the strategic development of the Sun Contracting Group. With ideal site conditions, technological innovation, and strong local partnerships, our project in Sorbolo has the potential to become the flagship project of our international expansion,” adds the Managing Director of Sun Contracting’s first Italian subsidiary, based in Merano.

For 15 years now, the Sun Contracting Group has relied on its contracting model to enable sustainable energy production without investment costs for property and building owners. With its entry into the Italian market, the Sun Contracting Group is now active in eight** European countries.

** Austria, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Italy.

As a certified photovoltaic technician and business economist, he is one of the key pillars of the Sun Contracting Group, both technically and economically. In addition to managing the German and Italian subsidiaries, he serves as COO in the field of photovoltaics, acting as the central figure for the entire project execution.
