ADE announces partnership with hep yolar for Germany

AMPYR Distributed Energy (ADE), a leading investor in onsite renewable energy solutions, has announced a joint venture with hep yolar GmbH, the C&I rooftop solar system specialist from the hep solar group, to accelerate the development and deployment of C&I rooftop solar projects across Germany.

The partnership will focus on financing and developing more than 50MW of C&I rooftop solar projects and battery energy storage systems (BESS) over the next three years, with an initial commitment of up to €50m.

Nick Koidl, managing director for Germany at ADE, commented: “The partnership brings together hep yolar’s technical and local development expertise with our strong capital base and structuring experience in distributed energy. Our shared goal is to help German businesses reduce their energy costs, increase resilience and decarbonise at scale – with zero upfront investment.”

As part of the agreement, hep yolar will act as the development and project delivery company – originating and developing the venture’s pipeline of projects, while ADE will fund, build, own, and operate the renewable assets under long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with C&I customers.

“At hep yolar, we believe in building lasting value through renewable infrastructure,” adds Christian Hamann, CEO of hep solar group. “With hep yolar, we’re extending that mission to the C&I renewables market. ADE’s expertise in PPA-backed investments and their agile execution model makes them the ideal counterpart for this strategic venture.”

The partnership focuses on industrial facilities, logistics centres, municipalities, hospitals and other large-scale energy consumers across Germany, offering fully funded rooftop solar solutions with fixed long-term pricing, energy autonomy and measurable ESG impact.
