The name „morewind“ indicates that wind energy is our passion. But as we also enjoy to work for other renewables, we are happy to announce our first job within the solar energy sector. The aim of the project is to get a more detailed calculation of the substructure of a photovoltaic power station by using the finite-element-method. Up-to-date FEM-software and modern technologies are necessary for a successful structural analysis and therefore an inherent part of our provided services. So now, we will bring our expertise into this upcoming new task!
