Frontier Renewables, a spinoff of a German architectural and engineering company, was founded in August 2008 by Balduin Hesse, Reinhard Roland Hesse, Adam Grohs and Karl Moeller.

Frontier is growing rapidly in an effort to become a leading global independent power provider (IPP), providing clean energy to cities, municipalities, businesses and utilities.

Frontier manages the whole process from development and project finance to construction oversight and operation. Frontier remains the owner and operator for the life of the plants.

Frontier is focused on ground- and roof-mounted solar PV plants in the range of 1-20 MW in Germany and the U.S. The company is also considering other markets and opportunities.

Frontier is actively looking for landowners and rooftop owners in the U.S. and Germany interested in entering long-term leases (20 + years).

Solar Photovoltaics (Solar PV)

A Solar PV Module

Solar Photovoltaic is a proven technology that has been deployed in thousands of plants worldwide.

A solar module contains arrays of cells with solar photovoltaic material that converts solar radiation into direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter later converts that DC electricity in alternating current (AC) electricity that gets pumped into the local utility grid.

Materials presently used for photovoltaics include monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, microcrystalline silicon, cadmium telluride, and copper indium selenide/sulfide.

Due to the growing demand for renewable energy sources, the manufacture of solar cells and photovoltaic arrays has advanced dramatically in recent years and prices for modules have dropped sharply with accelerating demand.

Frontier Renewables, as an owner and operator, only implements proven PV technologies from top manufacturers, with the aim of building solid and long-lasting power plants.
