Some words about me:

After several years of trading in pv solar technology and development of photovoltaic solar systems in 1986 began a close contact with Astro Power, USA, that time the leading manufacturer of manufacturing equipment for pv solar technology and a manufacturer of photovoltaic solar cells and pv solar modules. There I was thoroughly involved in the photovoltaic manufacturing and process technology for solar cells and solar modules, was given a deep insight into the photovoltaic research and development and there was a close cooperation for advice and sales of solar photovoltaic manufacturing machines in Germany.

1990 -1997 Co-operation with New Sun in Ottawa, Canada. Another wellknown designer and manufacturer of solar photovoltaic manufacturing equipment and pv technology.

Since that time, there is a close and trusting contact with Dr. Julio Bragagnolo and Prof. Raye Thomas, famous scientists and engineers in the photovoltaic solar industry.
