Energy with conviction – the master-certified company from Bendorf
VIVA SOLAR Energietechnik GmbH is a master-certified renewable energy company founded in 1993, based in Bendorf, Rhineland-Palatinate. The company realizes tailor-made photovoltaic systems for private customers, commercial clients and agriculture, complemented by heat pumps, battery storage, wallboxes and the manufacturer-independent energy management system einsQ. Its services include demand assessment, on-site measurement, planning, installation, commissioning, grid operator registration, as well as monitoring, maintenance and operations management – also for systems from other providers. Components and small series are tested in the company's in-house test center before deployment. With more than 6,800 installed PV systems and around 62 MWp of capacity, the company ranks among the region's most experienced solar experts; until around 2006, the company manufactured its own solar thermal collectors.
