Already at the beginning of 2017, the Sun Contracting Group founded another company: enerXia Norica Plus GmbH will operate one of the largest rooftop systems in Austria in the future. This contracting with a total photovoltaic output of 1.5 megawatt peak will be commissioned in Hermagor in Carinthia in autumn 2017. Finally, in 2017, Pachinger founded Sun Contracting AG in order to push ahead with a strategic orientation towards international markets and also to create a uniform brand presence throughout Europe. The introduction of a holding structure is preparation for the development of international photovoltaic markets. Under the new SUN CONTRACTING brand, project planning and handling of large-scale photovoltaic projects in Germany is launched for the first time and preparations are made for market entry.
