Descriptiontext

Centroplan GmbH is a privately held German provider of turnkey commercial photovoltaic solutions, founded in 2007 and headquartered in Baesweiler (Aachen region), Germany. The company designs, builds, and operates integrated energy systems for enterprise customers in three primary verticals — trade and retail, industrial manufacturing, and logistics — across 21 countries, delivered through 10 international offices and wholly-owned subsidiaries in Italy (Centroplan Italia S.r.l.) and France (Centroplan France SAS). Self-reported scale includes approximately 200 employees, up to 600 solar installations per year, more than 2,500 cumulative projects, and 200 MW of installed capacity. The company is controlled by its founders, with Klaus Reinartz and Niklas Reinartz (CEO) serving as managing directors, and shows no evidence of external institutional investment.

The company's offering bundles four hardware/software layers with full-lifecycle services. Core Photovoltaiklösungen cover planning, construction, and operation of PV systems for commercial buildings, supported by Dachlösungen (roofing/building-envelope preparation), Batteriespeicherlösungen (battery storage), and the Centroplan Connect energy management system that continuously analyzes generation, consumption, market prices, and external factors to dynamically optimize energy flows. Business Energy Sharing extends this by allowing enterprises to distribute self-generated solar power across multiple sites within a company. Services span system monitoring, maintenance and repair, fault management, reporting and analysis, and predictive maintenance procedures developed through research collaborations with Fraunhofer Society, FH Aachen, and RWTH Aachen.

Centroplan monetizes through a B2B enterprise field-sales motion: one-time turnkey installation revenue for PV projects, recurring professional-services revenue from operation and maintenance, and hardware sales for battery storage and roofing works. Pricing is quote-based with a disclosed minimum order value of €2,000, the company sells directly via consultation-led sales teams across Europe, the US, and China, and holds ISO 9001:2015 certification plus a Top 100 innovation award. The business has expanded entirely through organic cash flow with no disclosed funding rounds, and is currently consolidating into a new Baesweiler headquarters while extending its software-led energy management offering across its installed base.
