As ambitious architectural, environmental and structural engineering consultant firm we have extensive competence on low-energy building design and construction. Switchpower is our logical partner in the development and implementation of a solar housing concept, that combines smart energetic design and solar PV power.

Scandinavian Photovoltaic Industry Association
The Scandinavian doughter organization to the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) owes much of its existence to the effort and enthusiasm that Switchpower’s Andrew Machirant put into founding the organization. From the very beginning till today Switchpower has been one of the main supporters in our efforts to accelerate the deployment of PV applications in Scandinavia.

Borevind
Of all public investment companies in Sweden we have been the first to focus solely on the renewable energy sector. After a start within the wind power sector, PV solar power was a logical step forward and Switchpower the natural player to support. Since May 2006 we have an investor relationship with Switchpower and since December 2007 also with one of Switchpower’s main suppliers, Gällivare PhotoVoltaic, creating a strong Swedish PV industry.
