Solar power: Solar specialist Energiekonzepte Deutschland reports insolvency
More than 45,000 solar systems for private households have been installed by Energiekonzepte Deutschland. Now the company from Leipzig is bankrupt. It is unclear how it will continue in the long term.
Energiekonzepte Deutschland (EKD), a solar plant specialist based in Leipzig, has filed for insolvency, according to reports. The company's owner, London-based investment firm Pemberton, confirmed that it had decided not to provide further financing, citing a sustained decline in the market that made the business model no longer viable.
Pemberton acquired EKD in 2025 and attempted to support a restructuring, but was unable to turn the company around despite financial assistance and a new management team. EKD has installed over 45,000 solar plants on German rooftops and had grown to 15 locations in Germany, installing around 1000 solar plants per month.
