‘A PV system should be free of defects, whether after installation or after a hailstorm. Unfortunately, this is not always the case!’

Company History
by Dr.-Ing. Liviu Stoicescu and Dr.-Ing. Michael Reuter – Founder & CEO

2014 - Foundation

We founded the Solarzentrum Stuttgart in 2014 after and during our PhD at the Institute of Photovoltaics at the University of Stuttgart with the goal of improving the quality control of PV systems and making it more efficient. Initially, we focussed on testing microcracks and ‘hidden damage’, for example after hailstorms or incorrect installation. For this inspection, we use our patented DaySy daylight electroluminescence inspection method, which we also openly offer for sale to our competitors. Dr. Liviu Stoicescu is responsible for inspection and measurement technology.

2019 - New Branch

Since 2019, we have been installing PV systems on rooftops in the region of Stuttgart. We only install with our in-house employees. Our view is always technical - ‘through engineering glasses’. Our PV systems are subject to the same high standards that we apply when inspecting third-party systems. The PV installation is managed by Dr. Michael Reuter.

2025 - Current Status

In 2025, we have 7 employees, including 4 with academic degrees. We combine knowledge from research at the university with the development of measurement equipment, a focus on detail in the inspection of solar parks with hands-on work on the rooftop. We achieve our high quality standards by training our employees in PV installation and inspection ourselves, providing them with continuous training and, of course, by employing them on a full-time, permanent basis.
