The plant, comprising 90 such trackers, supplies 850,000 kilowatt hours of power into the grid on average annually.

According to Deržič, the trackers make it possible to increase the efficiency of solar plants by almost 50% and provide adaptability to all weather conditions, in particular strong wind.

Employing 25 people, the company posits an average of EUR 2 million in annual revenue, roughly 10% of which is reinvested. Steady growth is expected to continue.

Almost a third of the output is exported with a 20% growth projected in foreign markets this year.

The headcount is also expected to increase gradually, with plans to hire in particular engineers.

As a side activity, the company also runs an energy self-sufficient farm on a remedied local landfill, breeding a small herd of cattle.

The company also manufactures metal door frames and other types of doors. It will supply doors for Hotel Brdo at the Brdo estate as part of renovation.
