The 7C Solar Parking AG (2015: COLEXON Energy AG until 2007: Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG ) is a German company in the energy industry in the segment photovoltaic based in Bayreuth . The 7C Solarparken Group focuses on the acquisition and operation of photovoltaic systems with ongoing optimization of the systems. In addition, suitable land for the construction of photovoltaic systems is acquired. The business areas of wholesale as well as project planning and construction of solar power plants were given up, so that one can concentrate on the expansion and development of the own solar power plant portfolio.

history

Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG

The IPO of Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG (previously: Reinecke + Pohl Solare Energien GmbH , company founders: Jörn Reinecke and Gerd-Jürgen Pohl) based in Hamburg , Germany took place in March 2005. Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG was initially in Project development of turnkey photovoltaic systems.

In spring 2005, Nastro Umwelttechnik GmbH , a system provider of turnkey photovoltaic systems for agricultural and medium-sized companies, was taken over for EUR 8.6 million. A few months later, Maaß Regenerative Energien GmbH , a planning and sales company for photovoltaic systems, was taken over for a purchase price of 10.4 million euros.

At the beginning of 2007, plans became known to bundle the two subsidiaries Nastro and Maaß under the brand name "colexon". The brand name is intended to be derived from the English words "collect sun". From September 2007, the two parts of the company operated under Colexon GmbH . At the Extraordinary General Meeting on December 18, 2007, it was decided to rename Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG to Colexon Energy AG . The entry in the commercial register took place on January 25, 2008. Among other things, the renaming should take into account the increasingly international orientation of the company.

Colexon Energy AG

The Colexon Energy AG was active first in the company's photovoltaic wholesaler and project development, and later in plant operation. In the wholesale area, photovoltaic modules from First Solar and Masdar PV were sold. In the second half of 2008 at the latest, the company moved its own solar parks more into focus, as larger margins could be achieved in this area. Already at the end of 2008, plans to merge Colexon Energy AG with its major shareholder, the Danish solar park operator Renewagy A / S , to form Colexon SE were announced. In August 2009, Renewagy A / S with a solar park portfolio of 43 MWp was finally taken over, but the planned merger and renaming did not take place.

After cuts in solar subsidies, the company, like many other companies in the solar industry, found itself in a tense economic situation from 2011 onwards. For example, sales halved in the first half of 2011 compared to the previous year. In the course of restructuring, locations in Mainz and Imola were closed and numerous employees were laid off. Subsequently, solar parks bundled in project companies were sold, including to 7C Solarparken NV.

Colexon Energy AG's solar park portfolio was around 67 MWp at the end of 2013.

7C Solarparken NV

The company 7C Solar Parking NV was the end of 2008 by Steven De Proost, based in Mechelen , Belgium as Belgian corporation founded. De Proost then acted as CEO of the company. 7C Solarparken NV's solar park portfolio was around 41 MWp at the end of 2013.

Merger into 7C Solarparken AG

In December 2012, plans to take over 7C Solarparken NV by Colexon Energy AG became known for the first time. This project initially failed in February 2013 at an extraordinary general meeting of Colexon due to a lack of approval from its own shareholders. One year later, in April 2014, the Colexon shareholders voted in the second attempt with the required majority to join 7C Solarparken NV. Later in the year there was a so-called "reverse company acquisition" in which 7C Solarparken NV became a 100 percent subsidiary of Colexon Energy AG. However, the purchase price was paid through a capital increase at Colexon and the issue of the new shares to the former shareholders of 7C Solarparken NV. As a result, the former shareholders of 7C Solarparken NV took over a significant majority of shares in Colexon Energy AG. Owning and operating photovoltaic systems in Germany were named as future focus of activity.

In January 2015, Colexon Energy AG was renamed 7C Solarparken AG . At the same time, the company's headquarters were relocated from Hamburg to Bayreuth. The reason given for the relocation was the proximity to the owned solar parks.

The last Italian solar park was sold in 2017, and the company has since focused on the German market. The photovoltaic project developer Amatec was taken over in spring 2018 .

At the end of 2019, the company's own portfolio included systems with a total output of 184 MWp. Most of the plants are in the federal states of Bavaria (26.9% of the portfolio), Saxony-Anhalt (20.3%) and Saxony (11.1%). The portfolio is divided roughly equally into open space systems and roof systems.

Wind turbines

Two wind turbines in Rhineland-Palatinate have also been part of the portfolio since 2019 . The total capacity of the plants is 5.9 MW.

Business management for third parties

Systems with a total of 77 MWp have been operated on behalf of several fund companies since 2019.

PV Estate

The company also invests in land and buildings that are mostly used to generate solar power. In this way lease costs can be avoided. Some of the areas are also leased to third parties to operate solar systems. At the end of 2019, the portfolio comprised 133.5 ha.
