Do you feel like you've understood the solar industry?
That you know where it's headed and which companies are shaping the future?
What if I told you that what you know about solar investments today could be obsolete in just a few years?
It's an inconvenient truth, but the way we think about and invest in solar energy is on the verge of a massive upheaval. It's time to look closely, because the signs are pointing to a storm—and to an opportunity that many will overlook.
The solar industry as we know it is reaching its limits.
For decades, the model was clear: produce modules, install them, and then—forget about them.
But this "install-and-forget" mindset no longer works in a world that is heading from over one terawatt of installed PV capacity today to 2.3 terawatts or far beyond by 2030.
This is no longer linear growth; it's an exponential acceleration.
Imagine if the semiconductor industry hadn't adapted to Moore's Law—it would have been irrelevant long ago. This is exactly what is happening in the solar industry now. Those who do not adapt to this relentless pace and the exponential growth curve will be mercilessly left behind.
The real game-changer is digitalization.
It is turning the entire value chain upside down.
It's no longer just about converting sunlight into electricity. It's about how we manage this energy, how we deal with the materials when a module's
life ends, and how we ensure that our investments don't end up in a dead end. The old ways, which focused purely on installation and operation with
out considering the entire lifecycle, are becoming less and less relevant. The sheer volume of solar modules that will reach the end of their lifespan in the coming years presents an enormous challenge.
Anyone who doesn't address the question of how to dispose of used solar modules or decommissioned solar systems runs the risk of falling into a trap that is not only financially but also ecologically costly.
This is where the crucial question comes in: Why could current solar technologies and investments become obsolete as early as 2028?
It's due to this rapid development and the need to think beyond mere energy generation.
If you only invest in companies that rely on the old model, you could soon find yourself with a portfolio whose value is dwindling while others make the leap into the future.
The large, established companies are not always the best choice for your money, as they are often too sluggish to adapt to the speed of this digital transformation. They cling to proven but outdated methods while the world moves on.
The biggest opportunity often lies with the "underdogs"—those companies that have recognized the signs of the times and are focusing on the truly forward-looking aspects.
These are not just new ways of generating energy, but also innovative approaches to the entire lifecycle of solar modules.
Think about the necessity of solar panel recycling or the challenge of disposing of photovoltaic modules.
As billions of modules reach the end of their useful life in the coming years, the management of these old solar modules will become a critical factor. Companies that offer intelligent, scalable solutions here, that minimize photovoltaic disposal costs and recover valuable materials such as glass, aluminum, copper, and even silver, are the true winners of the future. They turn a problem into an opportunity and create a true circular economy.
These profound insights and hidden potentials will be highlighted in an exclusive online workshop designed specifically for investors like you.
On September 3, 2025, a 45-minute window will open to a new perspective on sustainable energy investments.
This workshop will be led by Toralf Nitsch, a true pioneer in the solar industry with 20 years of experience.
Toralf is not only the co-founder of Balcony Powerplants, he also built the first electric car in China in 2009 and has been successfully scaling recycling methods since 2019. His knowledge and experience are invaluable, as he has witnessed and shaped the industry's development firsthand. He knows where the pitfalls lie and where the real treasures are hidden.
In this workshop, you will learn how to avoid costly investment traps that many others fall into. You will understand why it is so important to look beyond pure installation and consider the entire ecosystem of solar energy, including the challenges and opportunities presented by the recycling of PV modules or the disposal of solar modules.
It's about deciphering the future of solar investments and recognizing why current technologies and investment strategies could become obsolete by 2028. You will learn why top companies are not always the best choice for managing your money and how lesser-known "underdogs" hold the greatest potential for returns.
A central point that we will dive deep into is the future of solar investments.
We will explain exactly why conventional thinking is reaching its limits and which new paradigms will prevail. It is an opportunity to expand your knowledge and prepare for the next wave of innovation.
This workshop is your opportunity to secure a decisive advantage and set the course for truly future-proof investments. It is time to break away from outdated ideas and embrace the reality of exponential acceleration in the solar industry.
