PV is a Business Decision – The Kirchhoff Automotive Example

It was a great honor for us to present the details of this project alongside Marcell Tóth, Managing Director of SOLARKIT, Norbert Babós, Technical Director, and Balázs Dzsida, Head of Procurement at Kirchhoff Automotive. The goal throughout the installation and collaboration was to implement a sustainable energy solution.

Why is solar power a smart investment for businesses?

A solar energy system ensures long-term predictability of energy costs, reduces dependency on the grid, and provides operational stability. It also enhances corporate reputation and supports sustainability objectives. When it comes to industrial systems, tailored, site-specific design is key — but well-executed projects often achieve a fast return on investment and deliver reliable performance for decades.

🏭 Why is this project significant?

Kirchhoff Automotive is a family-owned international corporation with over 200 years of history. Operating 27 production sites across 11 countries, the company manufactures metal and hybrid body components and chassis parts for the world’s leading carmakers.

In this video, you’ll learn:
