Cultivating solar energy is a responsible and innovative task for Krannich. We have been planning, consulting and producing powerful photovoltaic systems for our commercial and energy supply partners for over fifteen years.

Company history:

Kurt Krannich founded the company Krannich Solartechnik in 1995. He installed photovoltaic systems together with his brother ranging in size from 1 to 10 kW. After the start of the 100,000 Roofs Program in 1999, the installation company transformed itself into a specialized photovoltaic systems dealer and then later to a specialized wholesaler of photovoltaic systems.

In 2001, a distribution center was rented in Weil der Stadt in order to store and distribute the constantly growing volume of modules and mounting systems.

The storage space was expanded to 2,000 square meters in 2003 and the distribution center was purchased in 2004. Module suppliers from Spain, the USA, and Japan enhanced the product portfolio.

In 2005, Krannich Solar installed 16 mega watts of solar power on roofs in Germany and Europe.

Ranked among the leading suppliers in 2006, Krannich Solar increased its foreign revenue in the EU to over 25%. Aimed at the target market, the global expansion is taking shape with offices in Italy, Spain, USA and Greece.

Branches in Korea and France were added in 2007.

The branch in Munich Unterschleissheim / Germany was setup in 2008.

In 2009 further branches in Italy and Greece, as well as a branch in the Czech Republic were opened.

The company’s revenues have continually been on the rise. The number of employees has considerably grown since 1995 and is currently more than 250.

The total installed capacity of the complete Krannich group in 2009 amounted to 115 megawatts.

The market expansion went further in 2010 with the opening of branches in Belgium and the UK. The total installed capacity of the complete Krannich group in 2010 amounted to 250 megawatts. As a result Krannich Solar is in the Top 10 in the European photovoltaics industry.
