Energy-as-a-Service partnerships

Bernhard Gerardts

Grant Manager at SOLID Solar Energy Systems GmbH

Graz, Austria

About

We develop integrated renewable energy solutions for industry and district heating. Our expertise covers solar thermal, photovoltaics, heat pumps, chillers, thermal and electrical energy storage, system integration, transformation planning, technical-economic assessment and financial engineering.

Our main value proposition is to bridge the gap between technical innovation and real implementation. SOLID can contribute as:

• system integrator and project developer
• business model and Energy-as-a-Service developer
• technical and financial engineering partner
• developer of industrial and district heating transformation plans
• potential investor, contractor and long-term operator

We are interested in project concepts that combine technical system innovation with viable business models, financing structures and concrete implementation pathways. Relevant use cases include industrial heat and steam decarbonisation, waste-heat integration, heat pumps, thermal storage, sector coupling, flexible operation and renewable district heating.

Our objective is to transform R&D results into bankable, scalable projects with measurable energy, economic and climate benefits.
