More than 200 new people hired
An important milestone was the development of the Schletter Tracking Systems 1V and 2V, which are in high demand among investors and project developers. "The positive development also includes the fact that we hired more than 200 new colleagues worldwide last year."
In total, more than 6.5 gigawatts of photovoltaic output were installed on Schletter systems worldwide in 2022. In the Dominican Republic, for example, Schletter most recently supplied a solar park (96 megawatts) with the Tracking System 2V.
