The Convers Energie team has been working full speed since the beginning of March to beat the clock on the 31 March government deadline that could cut feed-in tariff rates by up to 30% in Germany. In a push to complete installations for as many customers as possible, the team installed a record 12 residential PV systems, plus one commercial solar installation, within four weeks.

The monthly total kilowatt peak installed by Convers Energie in March exceeded 130 kWp. An average March installation rate would be 20-30 kilowatts.

Solar panels, ready to mount

During the day, Managing Director Gunther Nacke was on-site at each installation. While our team installed the mounting system and panels, Nacke prepared the cabling that would connect the installation to the grid.

Nacke also kept an eye on financing, ordering, shipment and delivery of panels, assuring a smooth installation process for each customer. The post-installation process, including registration with the local utility company and the actual connection of the PV system to the grid by Nacke and a certified electrician, was the last step of each installation.
