Intersolar 2011 - DEGERenergie: Interest in producing solar energy for own consumption is increasing

Horb a.N., 20 June 2011. DEGERenergie is reporting big success at the industry's leading trade fair, Intersolar 2011 in Munich. Particularly smaller and medium-sized businesses showed a growing interest in the company's MLD technology, with the goal of producing solar energy for their own use.

The MLD technology for intelligent photovoltaic system tracking that DEGERenergie developed and patented is becoming more and more widely accepted. Following recent successes abroad, DEGERenergie is also reporting a notable increase in demand for its systems at the Intersolar 2011 trade fair in Munich. Michael Heck, Vice President Sales & Marketing at DEGERenergie: "We are noticing that particularly small and medium-sized companies are showing a strongly growing interest in our technology. Many of these businesses want to produce solar energy primarily for their own use, in order to become independent of rising energy costs over the long term."


Overall, Intersolar has once again convincingly asserted its position as the leading trade fair for the entire industry, in Michael Heck's assessment. "We had a lot of interesting and focussed discussions. The visitors, a great many of whom are from other countries, are usually well informed and come to Munich with concrete project plans in their pockets." In particular: "The current discussions surrounding changes in energy policy is providing the photovoltaic market with a powerful boost." More and more businesses want to have an in-house option for photovoltaic as a way to become independent of the utility companies. "You can only do that with solar energy. For unlike all other avenues of renewable energy utilization, it has the advantage of being decentralized without a costly grid: The power is produced where it is consumed."

Especially gratifying to DEGERenergie: Word is getting out around the industry that the MLD technology from Horb has the best cost/benefit ratio in the field. "We noticed it over and over again in discussions and earned praise for our systems. All the more because the numbers speak for themselves."

DEGERenergie was founded in 1999 by Artur Deger and is now the global market leader in solar tracking systems. More than 40,000 DEGERenergie systems have been installed in over 40 countries around the globe. The enterprise maintains subsidiaries in Spain, Greece and North America, and works in many other countries through local sales and service partners. DEGERenergie's patented MLD technology makes it possible to increase yields up to 45 percent more than fixed systems.
