Horb am Neckar, Germany, August 11th, 2011. DEGERenergie has equipped a new solar power project in Sweden with its patented MLD tracking systems. Swedish company Solar Design Ab has installed the facility in Malmö. DEGERenergie is the global market leader for solar tracking systems.

The building-integrated photovoltaic installation with three DEGERtraker 3000HD systems was put into operation in July 2011. It was ordered and is now operated by the city of Malmö. DEGERtraker 3000HD systems were designed specifically for use in exposed locations and regions with strong wind. The acronym "HD" stands for "heavy duty".

Glenn Torsténi from Solar Design Ab: "We are very pleased with the quality of DEGERenergie's systems. Their installation is quick and easy, thanks to the user-friendly instructions." Solar Design Ab is specialized in photovoltaic systems. Representatives of the Swedish company are already planning to visit the DEGERenergie headquarters in Horb. "Among other things, we want to find out what other DEGERenergie systems could also be of interest for the Swedish market." At Solar Design Ab, there is keen interest in an even more intensive cooperation and, insofar as possible, in installing additional MLD tracking systems in Sweden.

DEGERenergie was founded in 1999 by Artur Deger and today is the world market leader in solar tracking systems. Worldwide, more than 45,000 DEGERenergie systems are installed in over 40 countries. The company is represented in Spain, Greece and North America with its own subsidiaries and cooperates with local distribution and service partners in many countries across the world. The patented DEGERenergie Maximum Light Detection (MLD) technology makes it possible to improve the energy yield of solar power plants by up to 45 percent compared to fixed systems.
