Comments from the CEO Christian Zahler

As already communicated in the Annual Report 2023, Industrial Solar GmbH ceased its operations end of February this year due to insolvency. 

SolarSpring GmbH continued the development of specialized components for industrial applications, more specifically chemically resistant membrane materials, within the SuperClean project. This project has already brought forth some very promising new modified materials which are expected to decrease operating costs in membrane distillation applications with acids or saline effluents.     

Activities on site in Erbach continued with the official start-up of the ROKKA pilot system, resulting in a first testing campaign for the removal of ammonia from the municipal wastewater for conversion to fertilizer. Further testing is planned in Q2, followed by the final analysis and report to be issued in Q3 of this year. The results will be presented in several public events, involving relevant stakeholders and interested parties. 

The insolvency of Industrial Solar was a bitter setback, but we are glad that SolarSpring carries on and is able to contribute to prestigious research projects with their knowledge and expertise and is able to make an important contribution to a sustainable circular economy with their technology.
