Haithabu
About us
Since it's foundation, Haithabu's focus has been on being the interface between the Chinese and European solar industry.
Haithabu was founded 2005 in Hong Kong, during the infancy of the solar revolution. From day one, Haithabu’s focus has been on being the interface between the Chinese and European solar industry.
Since 2005, the solar industry has developed rapidly, with Chinese solar component and modules manufacturers today having a near monopoly position in the solar component industry.
Based on its experience and established network, Haithabu’s role as interface between China and Europe is still as strong as when it was founded. Today, Haithabu is specialized supporting European stakeholders in the solar industry to make the right choice in respect of solar modules suppliers being used in their projects.
In the period 2021 to 2024, Haithabu's founder has directly handled procurement of totally 2.8 GW of PV modules and inverters for projects in Denmark, Poland and Sweden.
