The Company, Know-How and Experience
Soleras has started in 2011, but the know-how is based on work done in all areas of PV design and development, starting ion 1987.
Systems Design and Sizing
I use the best commercially available sizing program, and also have software for all the other design needs: mechanical design, 2D-CAD, lighting design etc.. I've been involved in the design, manufacturing and testing of PV modules, charge controllers, batteries and inverters; this gives a good grasp of how things work together and what is really relevant.
But above all; I've designed hundreds of systems, for all continents, for all kinds of applications.
PV Modules
I've been involved in the design and testing of both standard glass-tedlar and the more excotic glass-glass, tefzel/steel PV modules.
Awards
I was the team leader of the Neste Corporate's "Researcher of the year 1997" project team. Doesn't say much outside Finland, but at the time it was the second-largest company in Finland., with over 10 billion USD turnover in petrochemicals.
