Malte Lohrberg
Last position:
Product Owner, Change Management Coach and Organizational Consultant & Founder and Product Architect at Freelance + Resilience Bakery
The combined experience from recent project years shows that two hearts beat in my chest: on the one hand, working in and for organizations to develop new, innovative products, ideally as part of a digitization strategy or business development – and the closely related change and transformation process expertise as part of holistic organizational consulting. For this, I have established the Change Bakery and Product Validators offerings.
On the other hand, my heart and mind are fired up to find my own products, evaluate markets and potentials, and test ideas. Currently, I am proactively and part-time, in addition to ongoing projects, working on a product idea in the mental health area and have founded Therapymate.

About the technology
Solar PV basics
Photovoltaics turns sunlight into electricity through PV modules, inverters, mounting systems, and monitoring tools. It appears in rooftop systems, ground-mounted solar parks, and hybrid energy projects where power needs to be predictable and clean.
Typical project work
- System design and yield planning
- String sizing, inverter selection, and layout checks
- Grid connection and protection concepts
- Storage integration and energy management
- Monitoring, fault analysis, and performance tuning
Tooling and ecosystem
Strong specialists work with PV design software, electrical schematics, simulation tools, and SCADA or monitoring dashboards. They also understand modules, inverters, batteries, charge controllers, and the standards that govern safe installation and operation.
When companies bring help
Companies usually seek freelance support when a project needs extra capacity, a fast review, or hands-on expertise across engineering and field coordination. This is common for EPC teams, installers, asset owners, and industrial sites in Germany that need clear technical decisions and local coordination.
What strong specialists do
A strong Photovoltaics expert combines electrical understanding with practical site thinking. They spot shading risks, cable losses, mismatch issues, and weak protection concepts before they become costly rework.
Search terms and fit
People also search for PV and solar PV experts when they need the same skill set. The best fit is someone who can move from concept to commissioning, document the system clearly, and work well with engineering, procurement, and site teams.
Frequently asked questions
Need clarity? These are the questions we hear most often about Photovoltaics.
A strong Photovoltaics expert helps turn a solar idea into a working system. That can include module layout, inverter sizing, grid connection, storage coupling, commissioning support, and performance troubleshooting. The exact scope depends on whether the project is a rooftop system, solar park, or industrial installation.
Photovoltaics focuses on converting sunlight into usable electricity and integrating that power safely into a site or grid. General electrical work may cover wiring and distribution, but PV specialists also handle yield, shading, inverter behavior, DC string design, and monitoring. That mix matters when reliability and production matter.
Yes, PV is the common abbreviation for photovoltaics, and solar PV is a widely used way to say the same thing. Searchers may also use the full term photovoltaics when they want specialists for modules, inverters, and grid integration. In practice, the scope is usually the same.
A strong Photovoltaics specialist often brings electrical engineering, grid code knowledge, site planning, and basic storage know-how. Familiarity with monitoring systems, protection concepts, and CAD or simulation tools is also useful. On larger projects, project coordination and documentation skills matter too.
Photovoltaics work can range from straightforward reviews to complex design and commissioning tasks. A simple system audit may need one focused expert, while a plant with storage, grid constraints, or multiple sites needs deeper system-level experience. The harder the integration, the more important practical project history becomes.
Many Photovoltaics tasks can be done remotely, such as layout review, calculations, documentation, and performance analysis. On-site presence in Germany becomes important for surveys, commissioning, fault checks, and coordination with local contractors or grid partners. A mixed setup is common.
Look for clear system thinking, not just product knowledge. A good Photovoltaics professional explains trade-offs in module choice, inverter sizing, protection, shading, and expected yield in plain language. Past work should show clean documentation, practical decisions, and a focus on safe, stable operation.
Companies usually want to know whether the Photovoltaics specialist can cover design, commissioning, troubleshooting, or ongoing optimization. It also helps to clarify the project type, the site conditions, the grid situation, and whether communication must happen in German or English. Clear scope makes the engagement much smoother.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Photovoltaics in their recent projects is 110 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 879 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Germany who have used Photovoltaics in their recent projects, 75% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 38% hold at least a Master's degree, and 12% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers in Germany who have used Photovoltaics in their recent projects have 25 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 2.7 years.
