Franz Hilber, a native of Tyrol, was already intensively involved with solar technology in 1991. As a self-employed facade and metal builder, he took over the planning and installation of the first photovoltaic systems.
The awards he received in Toronto and Rome strengthened his determination to develop photovoltaic solutions.
In 2003, Franz Hilber revolutionized the market with the development of the "MOVER"
The Mover is a photovoltaic system that follows the path of the sun for maximum energy production throughout the day.
Since 2012, Franz and Thomas Hilber have been working with their team of engineers and industry-leading, strategic partners to develop photovoltaic solutions that meet the needs of their customers.
Franz Hilber starts with the production and installation of PV systems in Austria and expands his field of activity in the following years to the installation of international large-scale projects
