Who we are

Suncycle began handling international re-call projects for renowned companies in the solar industry in 2007. The EU PV-SEC 2009 in Hamburg was the first time that Suncycle made an appearance as an independent service brand.

Since then, the demand for services has grown parallel to the installed PV output. In 2010, Suncycle’s Engineering & Test Center went into operation in the heart of Germany. Industrial Test & Repair Methods as well as logistics services are offered from Isseroda, near Erfurt. This is also home to the Europe-wide project management team and the technical service hotline that deals with all aspects of complaints in five languages on behalf of our customers.

Since 2011, Suncycle has been operating its proprietary mobile laboratories for professional test & inspection work on site. The latest development that was added to our range of services in 2015 is the CTU flexEL. The CTU flexEL for the first time allows electroluminescence tests during the day without having to dismantle the module.

Our worldwide expansion was resolutely pursued with the foundation of Suncycle USA in 2015.

Suncycle’s management team still consists of  two company founders. With 100% equity financing, Suncycle is an absolutely independent and reliable partner. You can take us at our word!
