Who am I?

Chernobyl made people look for alternatives. Solar energy was one option and I got interested. In 1986 with a partner I established a solar company in Germany. We planned, sold and installed photovoltaic and thermal solar energy. Pioneering days!!

Ever since I was quite young I have been interested in other countries and people. My first career was as a marine engineer. So pursuing solar paths outside of Germany and Europe came naturally. I spent a year in the Peruvian Andes working to establish photovoltaic power in the region. I also worked as a consultant and trainer in various countries in Latin America (Bolivia, Colombia, Mexico) and Africa (Morocco, Senegal).

Since 2018 I have been exploring solar possibilities in Setubal where I live. With two personal systems installed in two different houses (one state of the art 1.5KWp and one stand alone 200Wp 24V) many useful experiences with solar power under local conditions have been gained. The lessons learnt are now available in the form of independent professional advice for you as a potential client of the services energia solar can offer.
