The year 2016 begins with another important milestone: Andreas Pachinger, a trained design engineer and IT technician, joins the Austrian photovoltaic market as a new player with the founding of sun-inotech GmbH (formerly: Sonnenkonzept). The founder and managing director is quickly able to gather a qualified and strong team around him. In the same year, the first synergies with today’s Sun Contracting GmbH were achieved through the provision of capital for expansion purposes. Simultaneously with the founding of sun-inotech GmbH, Sun Contracting GmbH launches a crowdinvesting campaign on several platforms to promote expansion in the photovoltaic sector. This crowdfunding campaign is successfully concluded only a short time later with more than 900,000 euros.
