Use the quick search

With the instant search, results appear directly as you type. This saves time and makes searching especially convenient.

Search field

The search field is the easiest way to find products. You can search across all product categories by manufacturer and/or product name.

Filter options

Use the filters to narrow down your search results. The available filters vary depending on the product category. With the “” button, you can clear all applied filters in one click.

Tip: Use the “Pieces” field as a filter. In the marketplace overview, you’ll immediately see the quantity-specific price (excl. VAT). This helps you compare offers more efficiently.


Choosing the right product

As an independent marketplace, we do not recommend one product over another — we simply provide transparent access to all available offers. However, many customers ask us which product is the “right” one.

Key criteria when choosing

Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE)

The LCOE — the average cost of electricity generation over a system’s lifetime — is crucial for evaluating the profitability of an investment.

Example:
Module A costs €100,000, Module B costs €110,000. Module B offers better technical characteristics (e.g., lower temperature coefficient, reduced LID sensitivity).
Over its lifetime, Module B may achieve a better total cost per generated kWh, even if the initial price is higher.

Investor risk profile

  • Investors willing to take risks can opt for new technologies or lower-cost manufacturers.

  • Those seeking low-risk investments should choose established technologies and leading manufacturers.

  • A company with patents and research capacity is often more trustworthy than a provider without expertise or innovation.

Important: A higher price does not automatically mean better performance or lower LCOE. We cannot rate manufacturers or technologies as “better” or “worse.”
