ABOUT SBY SOLUTIONS

SBY (formerly Solar By Yourself) provides integrated solutions across a wide variety of roof applications, using leading solar modules and invertors for utmost reliability, productivity, financial performance and environmental benefits.

SBY was founded by Tamir Kaplinsky in Nizzane Oz, Israel in 2008. His vision was to transform green solar energy into an economically viable proposition and to provide reliable, highly efficient and low-cost solutions from a single source. After researching the market and visiting several solar suppliers, Kaplinksy installed the first PV system on the roof of the family-owned cowshed. The success of this first installation led to the founding of a successful business, backed by substantial government support.

Today, the company is the top Israeli EPC and an acknowledged market leader in Israel with 25% of all installation of small-size PV systems (up to 50 kWp). SBY has proven record in the country-wide planning and installation of high-quality and reliable PV systems, primarily for commercial and farm buildings. In 2009 SBY has gathered outstanding experience: was granted more than 200 licenses out of 900 of the PUA (Public Utilities Authority) quota; more than 100 PV systems were installed on rooftops with total capacity of more than 5 MW, and another 5MW are in advanced stages of construction.

In January 2010 SBY has signed the EPC long-term partnership agreement with COLEXON Energy AG (www.colexon.com). Under this agreement SBY and COLEXON will exclusively cooperate in Israel in the establishment of PV power plants in a capacity between 51KWP to 10MW, in accordance with the applicable Israeli Electric Authority regulations, and will provide their customers (land and roof owners, investors, financial institutions, etc.) with full turn-key services, including designing, licensing, engineering, development, authorization, construction, and operation & maintenance of the PV plants.
