We have an important story. In fact, we have two stories to tell.
OUR BUSINESS
Our aim is to accelerate the energy transition. Together with our business partners all over the world we want to make huge impact on society and environment. The key feature to achieve our goal is our PowerCollector™
OUR PRODUCT
We develop, produce and sell hybrid solar PowerCollectors™ and integrated project solutions. Hybrid means that the PowerCollector™ combines generation of thermal (T) energy with the photovoltaic (PV) generation of electricity.

PAST
Our story begins in 1998 when the Research and Development wing of Vattenfall, an energy utility operating primarily in the Nordics, Germany and the Netherlands, began research into solar heat collection technologies. In 2006 this activity spun off as Solarus became the vehicle for taking the R&D product to market.
Mastering this hybrid technology was not easy. It took several years to develop a stable, market-ready production process. Now, we are ready.
FUTURE
Research and development is the backbone of our success, this will not change. Solarus is continuously innovating to improve our core technology. We will continue to listen to the local, specific needs of our partners. In response Solarus will create innovative solutions.
Implementation of environmental impact mitigation schemes for our complete product lifecycle.
We commit to investigating and understanding our social footprint. As hotspots are identified we will prioritize future development and refinement of our operations to address these.
OUR PROMISE
SUNPOWER FOR THE PEOPLE
Solarus seeks to deliver on the following social and environmental objectives:
Reducing energy poverty by providing access to efficient, low-cost and environmentally sustainable electrical and thermal energy.
Addressing climate change by reducing global dependency on fossil fuel-based energy sources and increasing the use of low-carbon C-PVT technology.
Reducing exposure to local air pollution in developing countries by displacing common water heating practices that rely on the burning of coal and biomass.
Creating local employment opportunities in developing countries in manufacturing, assembly, distribution and installation.
OUR PROMISE IS OUR MOST EFFECTIVE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE.
Solarus exists within a global context.
By aligning Our Promise with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we are sure to succeed.
