Solar power from SUNSET For better quality of life and a healthy environment Grid feed-in systems from

SUNSET YOUR PARTNER FOR SOLAR POWER History The late 1970s witnessed the birth of an idea: to create an environmentally friendly, renewable and free energy source using solar energy. SUNSET Energietechnik GmbH was founded in 1979 with its headquarters located in Adelsdorf, in the district of Erlangen, Germany. Since then, SUNSET has consistently and successfully met its objective and has carried out pioneering work on achieving recognition for solar energy as a genuine alternative to conventional energy sources. In the course of this process, SUNSET Energietechnik GmbH has evolved into an industry-leading...

OUR PRODUCTION FACILITIES CO2 - neutral module manufacture Our Production Location in Germany SUNSET‘s German production location in Löbichau (near Gera) conducts environmentally friendly production of poly- and monocrystalline PV modules using modern German machinery. Production can achieve a high capacity, running in three-shift operation for polyand monocrystalline technology. This state-of-the-art production process was designed to be CO2-neutral for the sake of the environment, in order to make a valuable contribution to environmentalprotection efforts. The latest testing technology has...

SUNSET Has the Right System for Every Application How Does Solar Technology Work? The principle is very simple: the solar radiation produces a direct voltage in the solar generators, which is collected by the electrodes. The solar cell therefore produces electrical energy directly from sunlight. The direct voltage generated in this way is converted into the normal 230-volt mains voltage in the inverter and fed directly into the existing domestic power supply or the public power grid. Solar energy is renewable! Solar energy is inexhaustible! Solar energy is affordable for everyone! Solar energy...

Self Consumption Pays Off! Solar generator Consumer PV meter Bidirectional meter Grid feed-in How Does Self Consumption work? In a PV system where part of the energy is used through self consumption, the amount of energy produced is compared with the amount of energy fed into the public power grid. The difference between these figures gives the own-use proportion. The level of self consumption is influenced by the number of electrical devices used in the building. If you are at home on a sunny day and notice that your system is running very well, you can turn on the washing machine, dishwasher...

Module Range Depending on customers‘ wishes, construction requirements and the desired system size, we apply a wide range of solar generators with various technologies in our network-parallel systems, allowing us to implement anything from roof-mounted systems to large-scale facilities. All modules meet our high quality standards and therefore promise a long service life – which we back up with a 25-year module-performance guarantee. High-purity semiconductor materials are needed to manufacture monocrystalline silicon cells. Monocrystalline rods are extracted from molten silicon and then sawed...

With SUNSET‘s modules, you benefit from German know-how and high-quality German workmanship. All of our modules are produced to German standards and are manufactured in, e.g. Gera. Our products allow us to provide you with a system that is tailored to your roof and your envisaged usage and also to guarantee the expandability of this system should you decide to increase its capacity. Our manufacturing processes allow us to meet all kinds of customer requirements: partially transparent modules, coloured cells in the modules, overhead glazing, conservatories, integration into buildings – the list...

Whether it‘s small, medium or large, every photovoltaic system must be individually designed and equipped with a suitable inverter. Depending on requirements, we use inverters with transformer or without transformer. Our inverters stand out with their high levels of efficiency and longevity. All inverters leave the factory equipped with a display to show all operating data and the operating condition. The SUNlog® data-logger system can be used with all of our inverters to analyse and present the inverter data. Together with the Powador inverters from Kaco, a comprehensive range of services is...

Accessories Data Loggers The SUNlog® light, basic and XL data loggers allow the PV system‘s yield data to be visualised and displayed clearly in the form of charts for any desired time period. The day, month and year graphs can be displayed directly on the home PC or via the Internet portal, which can be accessed from anywhere in the world. The interface required in each case (analogue/ISDN/DSL/ GPRS) establishes a connection to the Internet. Analogue and digital inputs installed on the devices (depending on the specifications) can be used to connect additional measuring instruments (e.g. irradiance...

Aluminium Sloped-Roof Mounting-Frame SRMF SRMF Roof-Parallel Mounting Roof-mounting parallel to the covered roof is the simplest and most common way to mount the modules. This system is suitable for all applications and can be installed with flexible mounting options on almost any roof covering. With our SRMF substructure it is possible to remove individual modules from the module array when maintenance work is needed without having to remove all of the modules up to the affected solar generator. The essential components include stainless-steel rafter anchors for fixing the substructure into...
