SunTechnics, a subsidiary of Germany-based Conergy AG (CGY.DE), is expanding its U.S. business to the East Coast.
SunTechnics announced it would acquire Mesa Environmental Sciences Inc., now operating under the name Mesa Energy LLC. With sales offices in Malvern, PA and Marlton, NJ, SunTechnics will offer turnkey solutions for renewable energy to residential and commercial customers on the East Coast.
Founded in 1999, Mesa has installed numerous photovoltaic and solar thermal energy projects for commercial customers, universities and government buildings.
“We expect continued rapid growth in the U.S. renewable energy market. We plan to become the market leader not only in Europe and Asia, but also in the US. The acquisition of Mesa Energy is a milestone in this plan, establishing SunTechnics as a leader in Pennsylvania and placing us in an ideal position in New Jersey. By the end of the year, we aim to increase our US sales tenfold,” says Florian Edler, CEO of SunTechnics Energy Systems, Inc.
SunTechnic’s Edler and Mesa’s Hetznecker also announced that one of the first projects to be initiated under the acquisition involves installation of a photovoltaic solar array at Friends Center Building in Center City Philadelphia, PA. The 10-kilowatt system will generate about 12,000 kilowatt hours per year and reduce carbon emissions by 15 tons annually.
Friends Center has been renovating its building to meet the highest “green” building standards, with a vegetated roof that captures and reuses storm water and a combination of geothermal heating and cooling, photovoltaic solar panels, and purchased wind-generated electricity that will make the center fossil-fuel free.
SunTechnics’ U.S. operations are headquartered in Sacramento, CA. Conergy’s financing sister company, Epuron, plans to invest $100 million over the next three years in clean energy projects on the East Coast.
SunTechnics is is a leading supplier of turnkey renewable energy systems with 600 employees and apresence in 14 countries.
