With the zolar online configurator, homeowners can customise the components of their PV system to suit their individual requirements and receive personal assistance from one of our solar energy experts at the same time. zolar’s extensive network of local partner companies takes care of the installation on site. The Berlin-based start-up employs around 200 employees across Germany and pursues the vision of installing a PV system on every roof in the world in order to make private households more independent from the mains grid. The dovetailing of energy generation, electricity storage and mobility allows customers to design electrified and smart households. As a next green energy company, zolar enables its customers to become energy providers for their own four walls, neutralise their carbon footprint and, in turn, make an effective contribution to climate protection.
