ADLER Solar opens a PV Training Center with a reference plant in Yokohama
Today, ADLER Solar are opening their new PV Training Center and an associated PV reference plant with a formal ceremony in Yokohama, Japan. Last year, this leading full service provider for the solar industry was awarded a contract by the dena (Deutsche Energie-Agentur – German Energy Agency) to install a PV plant as part of a PV Training Center in Japan within the scope of the dena Renewable Energy Solutions Programme.
Bremen/ Yokohama, 30 May 2016 – The goal of the new PV Training Center is to pass on the many years of experience and expertise “made in Germany” to the Japanese market. At the same time, the ADLER Solar Works joint venture founded last year with the Japanese general contractor Yokohama Kankyo Design (YKD) in Yokohama is further establishing itself on the target market of Japan.
Targeted training of customers, employees, and partner companies
The training center enables ADLER Solar to provide training and further education for existing and new employees of ADLER Solar Works in the best possible way. Thanks to precisely developed training modules, the high service quality and competence of the ADLER Solar Works partner companies is also being ensured. What is more, customers are given an opportunity to become acquainted with the service portfolio of ADLER Solar Works on site.
The PV plant installed especially for training purposes guarantees an extremely practical knowledge transfer and – in conjunction with the teaching of the relevant theoretical content – makes the high quality and sustainable development of the measure possible. The plant was completed together with select technology partners and has various module technologies as well as a scientific weather station and an extended monitoring system. Within the scope of the training center, existing services for the Japanese market are also to be optimised or even redeveloped.
“We are pleased to be allowed to contribute our industry competence and many years of expertise to such an exciting project with such renowned partners. The experience we have gained on the German and European market is being incorporated here at a 1:1 ratio, and this means that we can transfer best practice methods to Japan,” says Gerhard Cunze, Managing Director of ADLER Solar.
This project is part of the worldwide dena Renewable Energy Solutions Programme coordinated by Deutsche Energie-Agentur (dena) – the German Energy Agency – and co-financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) within the German Energy Solutions Initiative.
