What is “Renewable Energies”?

Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources—such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat.

SGS is right at the heart of the booming renewable energies like solar and wind energy. But there is also a “green” need batteries and accumulators has to fulfill. Due to this they belong also to renewable energies.

• Solar
  Not long ago solar technology was deemed too inefficient, as well as too costly. Now, however, solar panels are becoming an attractive source of energy because of rising energy costs, more cost-effective solar-powered units and falling prices for solar collectors.
  
  
• Wind
  Today large scale wind farms are moving offshore which involves new risks and challenges. Focus is placed not just on wind climate but location‘s soil conditions, water depth, wave and ice conditions are also considered to ensure that wind turbine design and materials fit the intended purpose.
  
  
• Batteries
  Nowadays batteries and accumulators have to meet the performance, reliability and safety criteria. The SGS network has the needed testing centers to meet your needs in this fast changing market.
