Revenue model

1. PV Power Plant Development and Construction: Design and construction of ground-mounted, rooftop, and wall-mounted photovoltaic power plants. Revenue generated from project sales to investors/external buyers (projects under 1 MWp are more accessible to wider range of buyers), as well as own operation.
2. Electricity Trading: SG Energy purchases electricity from renewable sources (primarily PV plants) and manages a portfolio exceeding 60-80 MW. Offers services including analytical support, generation forecasting, and system deviation management.
3. Power Balance Services: Aggregation services through SG Circle - provides power balance services to ČEPS (transmission system operator) using battery storage assets. Revenue from capacity payments and balancing energy.
4. Green Hydrogen Sales: Commercial production and sale of green hydrogen for automotive fuel cells (passenger, bus, freight transport), industrial processes, and long-term energy storage. Hydrogen produced via PEM electrolysis using electricity from own PV plants.
5. Battery Storage (BESS) Services: Large-capacity battery storage for grid stabilization, peak shaving, and energy arbitrage. Services include both own operation and rental models to other BESS operators.
6. Service and Maintenance: Comprehensive service for PV plant operators including preventive maintenance, fault diagnosis, warranty/post-warranty service, PV monitoring via customer portal. Inverter service for SMA, Satcon, Fronius, Vacon, Kaco, Kostal, PowerOne, Sungrow.
7. Component Distribution: Solar Global Distribution SE acts as direct importer and wholesale distributor of solar components including panels (Suntech, AXITEC, CSUN, Jinko Solar) and inverters (SMA, Fronius).
8. Subsidy Administration: Solar Global Development handles administrative issues related to subsidies for photovoltaic power plants for companies, cities, and residential properties. Manages applications for Modernisation Fund (RES+), National Recovery Plan, and New Green Savings programs.
9. Public Charging Infrastructure: Design, financing, implementation and operation of public EV charging stations (DC 50 kW, DC 20 kW, AC 22 kW). Offered as service to public locations.
