Klaus Gehrlicher developed Gehrlicher Solar AG, a company founded in 1994, into one of the leading specialists in the area of photovoltaic systems of any size.

To this day, the family business is managed by the founder of the company. Klaus Gehrlicher is one of the pioneers of the German photovoltaic industry. He was one of the first professional users of the sector and, owing to his vast practical experience, he has been a force behind professionalising the use of solar energy. In 1998, he initiated Solarpark 2000, the first European solar fund and, in the course of the company’s history, he was respon-sible for numerous product innovations. As CEO and CTO, Klaus Gehrlicher takes responsibility for all technical developments of the company.

Klaus Gehrlicher lives and breathes »renewable energies«. In the beginning, he himself installed solar power systems and is convinced that every Gehrlicher employee has to have some practical experience dealing with these systems. This is the only way to truly understand customers and have the ability to give them the best advice possible.

Gehrlicher Solar is the pioneer in the emerging photovoltaics market. We know the market and use this experience to develop perfectly suitable solu-tions for our customers every time. In this context, we offer comprehensive service and provide com-petent consultation in all technical aspects.

»Our knowledge is based on experience.«

Gehrlicher stands for experience and quality in product and service. When planning and building photo­voltaic systems, we proceed with utmost precision and demand the highest level of quality.

We ensure long-term yield-oriented execution pro-viding maximum use of the system technology and therefore maximum economic returns. Starting in 1994, we have been building photovoltaic systems of various types and are systematically performing comprehensive analysis of the operational results.

Based on several EU projects, we have a large database of current module types, inverters and elevated mounting systems at our disposal. We anticipate market trends, cooperate with partners around the world on specific technologies and are therefore always up-to-date. What Gehrlicher Solar and its customers count on are the actual peak yields of our systems proven by long and unbroken series of data.

Together with our subsidiaries, we are an inter-nationally recognised partner with the ability to realise ambitious projects reliably and successfully. Starting with the off-grid system right up to the multi-megawatt park, we have executed numerous projects around the globe. In doing so, we take special regional characteristics into account and develop flexible solutions which meet specific re-quirements optimally.

As an independent system integrator, we are not limited to certain manufacturers or our own components. Instead, we can take a flexible approach to our customers’ demands and power plant specifications.

Gehrlicher Solar works directly with leading manufacturers in the markets of solar modules and inverters and through strategic partnerships secures attractive prospects in the market of photo voltaic innovation for itself.

Through our existing contacts with leading manu-facturers, we continually expand our product portfolio with new, innovative product choices. On this basis, we supply our customers with complete systems as well as individual components, many of which we have optimised or developed specifically. Due to our extensive experience, we are considered one of the pioneers, particularly in the area of thin-film technology, which has grown more rapidly than other market segments.

With our strong market position, proven partner-ships and long-term supply contracts, we offer a high degree of security with respect to planning and delivery. Since we are an important major buyer, our customers profit additionally from pricing in line with the market and regular price negotiations with important manufacturers. This way, we are able to respond flexibly to current market situations.

As a professional technology user for many years, we invested early on in research and development and drove our own innovations, which were of great practical use to us.

In order to increase system profi tability, we invest each year in the development of design and system engineering as well as automation solutions for construction of solar power plants. Thus we achieve signifi cant reductions in installation times, material costs and wear.

We use our many years of experience, innovative ideas and superior professional implementa-tion from a technical perspective to test and improve existing products and processes, apply cutting-edge methods of analysis and continually implement new ideas. By participating in success-ful EU projects and cooperating with universities, we ensure that tomorrow’s technological expertise is available to us. This is how we gained recogni-tion as a competent and accomplished initiator and continued building on this position success-fully to this day. These innovations inform our own GehrTec® products as much as joint developments with our partners in cooperation. We developed the intelligent cabling system GehrTec® Nubbel with Sykonec, a 50% equity partner. Just as our »quick installation« substructures, it has already become a fi xture in many photovoltaic systems and estab-lished itself as a standard solution in the market.

With a targeted orientation to­ward global growth markets and economic centres, we use and es­tablish opportunities in the global solar market while simultaneously balancing regional market risks.

This way, step by step, we gain independence from the effects of local regulations and subsidy programmes in the different markets.

Our experts in various countries are listening to the markets. They are aware of local conditions and keep in direct contact with local government authorities. With respect to climate as well as legal environment, large parts of Europe are operating under optimal conditions for using photovoltaics. Since 1994 we have been active on the Canary Islands, a location providing extremely high inso-lation. In 2004, we were able to enter the highly attractive market of the Spanish mainland. In cooperation with our subsidiary Solarland, we are developing in-house products for the off-grid mar-ket. The expansion into additional countries and regions extends beyond the European continent. We took our initial step in the direction of North America in 2009 and established a subsidiary in New Jersey. Since 2010 we have been active in the growth markets Brazil, India and South Africa.

As an experienced trading partner, we offer individual components as well as complete turn­key systems at competitive terms.

High quality of workmanship and components used is essential to us throughout the entire supply chain. Therefore, one main focus of our work is a selection of premium products. We work with lead-ing component manufacturers and in addition rely on our proven in-house GehrTec® product family.

In conjunction with concurrent pre-assembly, GehrTec® products provide the option of huge re-ductions in installation times and hence material and installation costs.

The wide range of substructures and systems for carports and façades is designed to meet the high-est quality standards and cover many site specific requirements. Our experts are also ready to provide consultation in the areas of system design, installa-tion and maintenance.

Furthermore, we assume responsi-bility for maintaining and operating solar parks

Gehrlicher Solar has many years of experience in site development and turn­key construction of large­scale projects be it in Germany, Europe or on other continents.

We utilise innovative products of high quality, continually optimise our own research and develop-ment and ensure long-term profitability of your system with comprehensive support throughout its entire life cycle.

In order to reduce costs of installation and materials, for example, Gehrlicher Solar provides its own patented installation systems. In addition, we developed a unique integrated installation and logistics system which is unparalleled in the global market. In the future, it will facilitate the transport of solar modules from the manufacturer's pro-duction facility right to the automated fitting into ground-mounted systems.

With these large-scale projects, we offer investors proven attractive investment opportunities. We not only plan, build and finance photovoltaic systems but we also market these multi-megawatt systems as publicly offered solar energy funds or as equity opportunities. As the first company in Europe, Gehrlicher Solar was successful in realising par-ticipation models for roof systems and therefore established itself as a trailblazer for a new devel-op ment in the solar business. Already in 1998, Europe's first professional and trend-setting solar fund was issued at Gehrlicher Solar.

Today, our subsidiary Gehrlicher Solar Manage-ment GmbH is affiliated with more than 30 investment companies. Among them are megawatt parks in different locations, from the model of a community equity fund to the tax-effective model for the investor.
