Engineering confidence for investors — and perfecting production for owners

RCT Solutions GmbH – founding member of RCT Group – is an independent German engineering house dedicated exclusively to photovoltaic manufacturing. Our 60+ in-house specialists guide both capital providers and factory owners from the first feasibility question to verified steady-state output, ensuring every gigawatt of new capacity is technically sound, financially bankable and operationally profitable.

Two perspectives, one partner

For lenders and ECAs we act as independent technical advisor, stress-testing costs, yields and risk before a single purchase order is signed. For owners and developers we remain on site as engineering lead, refining process flows, orchestrating tenders, supervising installation and verifying ramp-up until the line meets rated throughput, yield and OPEX.

That dual mandate lets financing and factory decisions move in lock-step—speeding approvals, avoiding redesigns and protecting returns for all stakeholders.

Our scope for lenders

We evaluate market tariffs, policy incentives, technology road-maps and local labor economics; convert them into Digital Project Reports accepted by international banks; model LCOE and IRR scenarios; review supplier warranties; and verify FAT, SAT and performance ratios for drawdowns and hand-over.

Our scope for owners

We deliver full FEED, detailed engineering, utility-load and facility layouts; run competitive equipment tenders; manage construction and commissioning; train production teams; integrate MES; and guide the first 18 months of yield optimisation using proven ramp-up playbooks.

What sets us apart is a 360-degree perspective that begins long before equipment is specified. We start every assignment with on-site diagnosis of market tariffs, incentive frameworks, feed-in rules and financing constraints, so the technical design is always tied to a viable business case. From there we develop Digital Project Reports that ministries, lenders and ECAs can underwrite, complete with 3-D block layouts, utility-load models and full OPEX projections.

Once the project is cleared for take-off, we stay on board as owner’s engineers. RCT Solutions maintains its own library of proven ramp-up playbooks. These cover workforce training, MES integration, quality-gate design and spare-parts logistics, allowing new plants to reach target yield and throughput in record time.

Today our references exceed 73 GW of cumulative capacity, representing roughly one-third of the solar manufacturing additions built outside China in the last decade. Yet every project remains bespoke—tailored to the local grid mix, labour market, offtake profile and capital structure you bring to the table.
