Silesia Region and Zaglebie cease to be associated with heavy industry only.
From the coalfields of Silesia comes one of the most ecological Polish technologies – solar systems by the WATT company.
This family company has joined the group of top European producers of solar collectors within just a few years.
Sebastian Paszek, Owner and President of WATT Ltd: I started my activity in 1998.
The first collector was assembled in a garage.
On the basis of further experience, I have worked out a special method of connecting copper pipes with the absorber.
Thanks to successive innovative technologies we have created a collector that has gained for its efficiency the highest rank in Keymark history.
Solar Keymark is a basic European certificate confirming the parameters and quality of solar appliances.
The flat-plate collector Watt 4000S achieved the highest-ever performance coefficient (up to 85%)
During tests conducted by the renowned German institute ISFH in Hameln in 2009.
In response to a large market interest in WATT 4000 collectors, the company has invested in a most modern production line in the world.
Sebastian Musiol, Marketing and PR Specialist: In 2010, in Sosnowiec, a new WATT factory was built on an area the size of four soccer fields.
A fully automated line produces two and a half thousand square meters of collectors daily.
This accounts for 300 thousand collectors in a year.
The new WATT factory utilizes the newest and novel by world standards technological solutions to enable production of its flagship product on a mass scale.
The perfect precision of units is guaranteed by automation of production and expanded quality control.
The company employs highly qualified professionals, implements the most modern management systems and trains solar system installers.
The excellent technological solutions and quality of products have been recognised both in Poland and on foreign markets.
There are so many orders for new sun collectors today, that specialists in the Piekary Slaskie factory work in two shifts,
And ready-made products waiting for transport exceed storage capacity.
That is why the new factory in Sosnowiec has been built on a grand scale, to avoid the lack of space for new collectors.
From Sosnowiec the collectors will be delivered to customers and dealers all across Europe.
Jacek Paluch, Foreign Sales Manager, WATT Ltd.: 50 percent of our production already goes abroad. We are available all over Europe
And our main markets are in Italy, the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Scandinavian countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
WATT is strengthening its position of a dynamic and innovative leader in solar technologies in Poland and on European markets.
An ultramodern laboratory is being built alongside the new factory with a Sun Generator for research and testing of new solar collector models.
