Who advises you on optimisation and savings potential in current and future operations and also performs cost and performance benchmarking in the O&M area? For almost 15 years, greentech has specialised as an independent service provider in the commercial management of photovoltaic plants.

We manage PV portfolios of utilities, renowned investment funds and also individual investors. Whether rooftop or large ground-mounted system, whether young or old – we are there for you personally and with advice at every stage of the system’s life. We are also guided by our conviction that plants that fully exploit their potential and demonstrate good profitability not only satisfy operators and investors – they also increase the attractiveness and reputation of photovoltaics as a whole, thus ensuring greater PV additions in the long term. Let’s continue to advance the energy transition together!

REDUCE COSTS

Benchmarking by an independent operating guide

Professional operation of a PV power plant is about technical and commercial expertise. It is obvious, that a reduction of the OPEX will pay off financially. However, in many cases costs, scope and contracts are a black box for the operator/investor.

Um Ihnen als Investor eine maximale Transparenz über die Betriebskosten zu verschaffen sowie Kostensenkungspotenziale innerhalb der Betriebsphase zu identifizieren, bieten wir Ihnen ein unabhängiges Cost-Benchmarking. Im ersten Schritt schauen wir uns Ihre Ist-Kosten an und vergleichen diese mit dem greentech Benchmark, der durch langjährige Erfahrung im PV-Sektor ermittelt wurde. In einem zweiten Schritt wird Ihr spezifischer und individueller Leistungsumfang der technischen als auch kaufmännischen Betriebsführung überprüft, und angemessene Zielpreise kalkuliert. Dies bildet die Grundlage für Nachverhandlungen und Anpassungen des Leistungsumfangs als abschließenden Schritt. Die greentech Experten begleiten den gesamten Prozess, bis Sie Ihr ideales Preis-Leistungsverhältnis für PV-Dienstleistungen erzielt haben.
