From the sun to the road – solar energy for e-mobility
Soak up the sun at Klatt Fördertechnik
Klatt Fördertechnik GmbH has one on the roof of its building in Neumarkt on the Wallersee Lake in Austria, while VacuTec Me.technik GmbH in Dresden and HÖRMANN Industrieservice GmbH are in the process of installing them: photovoltaic systems.
This technology generates electricity from sunlight and makes an important contribution to environmentally friendly power generation. And it is set to continue to enjoy high demand in future, not least in light of the sharp rise in fossil fuel prices. “As planners and installers, we offer complete infrastructure solutions for businesses and homes in close cooperation with our partners. In addition to photovoltaic systems, we supply and install solutions for power storage and intelligent cloud solutions for electricity and charging technology or e-mobility,” says Dirk Jakobs, Managing Director of HÖRMANN Industrieservice.

8 charging points for 8 electric vehicles
Peter Klatt, founder and Managing Director of Klatt Fördertechnik, explains the reasons behind his company’s investment decision: “When planning our new building, we decided to take responsibility and make an important contribution to climate protection.” A 350 square metre photovoltaic system on the hall roof generates green electricity (with a nominal output of 50 kW). Klatt combined this move with another fundamental decision to support e-mobility: The employee parking lot is now home to eight charging stations for eight electric company cars. “From the sun to the road – this is a successful pilot project for a climate-friendly mobility system that is largely independent of oil and gas,” says Peter Klatt with considerable pride.
Charging stations to support the future of e-mobility
Demand for electric cars is rising. More electric vehicles means increased demand for charging infrastructure in all areas. Germany is planning to install a million publicly accessible charging points between now and 2030. Users will be able to charge their electric vehicles at all petrol stations and customer parking lots in Germany.
»Our approach is backed up by the large number of enquiries we receive. We are well on our way to becoming one of the biggest manufacturers of charging stations in Germany, thereby making an important contribution to the rapid development of e-mobility and climate protection in Germany.«

Around 600 charging stations a month left the plant in 2021
“We have focused on this dynamically growing market since 2017,” explains Marcus Schaffranka, Managing Director of HÖRMANN Automotive Wackersdorf GmbH. As a simultaneous engineering partner and process expert, the company supports the manufacturing process for the product, harnesses its network in the automotive supply industry to ensure the broad-based procurement of electronic components, and assembles a wide range of charging stations for OEMs. Around 600 charging stations a month left the plant in 2021. This figure is set to rise to 800 a month in 2022.
