The Berlin-based firm will be a strategic business area within AEG Power, and will continue to act as an independent monitoring system provider.

AEG Power will invest in skytron’s technology to deliver offerings for current markets and customers, as well as address its many industrial vertical markets and the powering of the smart grid.

Bruce Brock, CEO of AEG Power, said: “Combining skytron’s monitoring and supervision products with our power electronics and experienced global services network will allow us to offer PV power plant operators highly reliable technology and expertise for the integration, implementation, and operation of rugged solutions for greater system availability and higher energy yields.”

Martin Sauter, CEO of skytron energy, said: “We needed a strong industrial partner to support our growth and give us access to the global market. The alliance will enhance our access to funds to improve our leading-edge technology while allowing us to provide our customers with strong service in all the emerging PV markets.”
