The importance of the European market was recently underscored in the European Union’s agreement on the “Net Zero Industry Act” (NZIA). As part of this cooperation, Otovo will integrate Meyer Burger’s solar products as a European, sustainable module alternative on its marketplace.

Tradition meets digital innovation
This partnership brings together Meyer Burger's expertise in European-manufactured solar modules with Otovo’s digital sales process. This gives both companies leverage to better serve the European solar market and provide consumers with a more comprehensive selection.
Promoting the European energy transition
This partnership unites two distinct European success models with a common vision: accelerating the energy transition in Europe. This increases accessibility to solar energy “Made in Europe”, marking a step towards strengthening resilience and performance of the European solar industry.

Both sides emphasize the need for additional political measures to ensure the resilience of the energy transition, fair market conditions and the promotion of local value chains. The measures recently enacted under the NZIA alone are not enough to secure solar technology production in Europe.
The joint sales process
The joint offering is initially available in Germany and is planned to be expanded to other European markets in the future. The sales process will be fully digitalized, from entering the address on the Meyer Burger website and locating the building via Google Maps, to preparing the offer and selecting the installer, through to the digital signing of the offer. On-site implementation and customer invoicing will be carried out by Otovo. (mfo)
