The entity was established in 2007 as a dedicated research and development unit of SOLON. At that time, SOLON was a leading global manufacturer of solar modules and a pioneer in the development of large-scale solar power plants.

A majority of Solyco’s current team previously worked at SOLON, at least for a certain period. In 2012, SOLON’s CTO Lars Podlowski acquired the company through a management buy-out. Since then, the company initially focused on solar rooftop systems, developing and operating several mid-sized PV power plants, thereby building up its own portfolio of assets.

In recent years, the company shifted its focus towards product development. It supported multiple clients in the creation of their own solar solutions, and in 2016, Solyco launched a long-term development project aimed at innovative solar panels and advanced PV rooftop systems.

To bring these new products to market, SOLYCO Solar AG was founded in 2020 as a joint venture with seasoned experts in solar product sales and marketing.
