Germany meets Asia – high-quality German engineering coupled with low world market prices are a recipe for success
Koenigsbrunn, Germany, 17 March 2015 – The business concept of photovoltaics manufacturer AE Solar (www.ae-solar.com) provides clear evidence of the enormous potential still held by the solar industry. The company combines German engineering and quality management with production in China and the competitive global prices that this brings. The model has been met with a resoundingly positive response, as can be seen from the company’s order books. Thanks to its extensive production capacity of 200 MW, the AE Solar Group is able to react quickly and with extremely competitive prices to the rapidly growing number of orders from around the world.
“We model ourselves on Apple”
The company’s comprehensive range of products comprises polycrystalline and monocrystalline modules from 80 to 360 watts. All modules are continuously tested and measured during the manufacturing process to ensure each and every one of them conforms to the company’s rigorous quality, durability and performance requirements. International TÜV, IEC, CE and ISO certifications provide a guarantee that all modules, components, plants and systems comply with the highest quality standards. “Although it was clear to us what the future of solar technology would hold, we didn’t want to pass the market completely into Asian hands. By integrating German engineering with Asian production lines under German management, we are able to keep prices low and manufacture higher-quality products. We modelled ourselves on Apple – designed in California, assembled in China!” says Alexander Maier, Managing Director of AE Solar.
Solar power for developing off-grid areas
AE Solar’s business model of combining German quality with Asian prices is supported by a global network of consultants and engineers working in numerous locations worldwide. Its portfolio of successfully completed projects ranges from smaller systems with a capacity of under 5 kW to large-scale installations of over 10 MW. To supply off-grid areas with electricity, AE Solar provides complete stand-alone systems that are easy to install, exceptionally robust, require virtually no maintenance and are extremely long-lasting. They generate electricity in areas with minimal infrastructure and offer a particularly sound solution in developing countries.
AE Solar GmbH (www.ae-solar.com) has developed a business model in which it combines German engineering and quality management with Asian production lines, allowing it to sell its products at globally competitive prices. True to its motto “It’s time to save the world!”, the AE Solar Group supplies green energy to new markets around the globe. It produces high-quality solar modules ranging from 80 to 360 watts. All modules undergo continuous quality control throughout the production process and are certified in accordance with all relevant international standards. This means that despite keeping manufacturing costs to a minimum along the entire production line, AE Solar provides highest-grade products that conform to German quality and management standards.
