The 5 top topics for solar energy in our topic hub Xpert.Digital. In addition to industrial automation, self-power supply has also become the focus with regard to smart factories. Above all, the demand for advice and the search for competent partners for implementation is high.

Demand from industry and commerce
The demand for solar modules, especially for flat roofs on warehouses, commercial halls and industrial halls, has been increasing rapidly since the discussion about compulsory solar energy. For almost 10 years now, we have been delivering many future-oriented topics on Industry 4.0, Internet of Things, Smart Factory and Smart Grid for logistics and intralogistics via Xpert.Digital. Over time, trade, mechanical engineering, industry and photovoltaics were added.
Suitable for:
T.Werk has proven to be a reliable partner here. With its innovative TRITON system for the flat roof solar module substructure, T.Werk has been able to impress time and time again. This is also reflected in the PIF gold medal by winning the MTP award for innovative products from the University of Poznań.
Roof penetration-free installation on sloping/pitched roofs
Another big topic that is in great demand and also comes from T.Werk is the roof-penetration-free installation of solar modules on sloped roofs with bitumen or foil covering . The METIS system from T.Werk allows a solar module substructure to be attached to the roof, purely through weighting and without “damaging” or processing the roof membrane (for attachment).
Plug-in solar devices
Plug solar devices, i.e. solar systems for the socket, are now increasingly becoming the focus. With keywords such as “Make your own electricity in the garden or on the balcony”, a new customer group is increasingly addressed: the tenant and garden owner. Here, complete sets are offered and advertised as a mini solar system for plugging in and generating electricity.

Solar obligation
Top topic No. 4 concerns the legal solar obligation, which is handled differently across the country. Baden-Württemberg will start as early as 2022, for new construction of non-residential buildings and open parking spaces from 75 units, which then have to be built as solar carport parking spaces. We have already put together a number of things on
Marketing solar energy
Last but not least, we are repeatedly asked how best to market solar energy in the context of digitalization? We made it a more general topic because it affects several industries at the same time and the answer is different than some people expect: How to market photovoltaics?
