About 5.0
THINK ABOUT TOMORROW TODAY
Vision: Creating a sustainable world in which our economic activities do not limit the opportunities of future generations.
Mission: Enabling people in emerging economies to create a sustainable future through collaboaration, investment and education.
“More than 20 years of setting up photovoltaic systems worldwide inspired us to expand the idea of solar energy and focus on renewable energy and sustainability in a broader sense. Taking advantage of our expertise and large network of specialists in the field of renewable energies, 5.0 takes on meaningful projects in upcoming economies that have a real impact.”

Philosophy
Electricity is the engine of today’s economy. It drives growth and development and improves living conditions. However, we need to change the way we generate electricity in order to secure the future of both the environment and its people. Renewable energies are therefore the foundation for a sustainable economy. By making renewable energy accessible, 5.0 Renewables aims to contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable and fairer world.
Company
Five Point Zero Renewables emerged from the Sunotec Group in 2020, which has been realising international photovoltaic projects for many years. We can look back on experience from over 100 projects worldwide, generating more than 2 GW system output.
It is our mission to contribute to a sustainable, clean electrification of our world by using modern technologies. Our primary focus is the development and realisation of sustainable energy projects in Africa, concentrating on photovoltaics and biogas production. At the same time we are also developing new Photovoltaic Projects in Germany, thereby promoting innovations that matter.

Philosophy
Education is not only a basic human right, but also plays an integral part in sustainable development. It improves the quality of people’s lives and will bring great social benefits not only for the individual, but also society as a whole. Education fosters creativity and entrepreneurship and might lead to mutually beneficial global partnerships. It is our mission to inspire and support the sharing of knowledge and contribute to a fairer world in which future generations can strive.
Project
In line with our philosophy the Five Point Zero Group acquired a 20 percent stake in the Berlin based start-up ‘Deutsche Akademie für digitale Bildung GmbH’ (DADB) in 2021. The program ,Bringing German knowledge to upcoming markets’, allows outstanding German professors and experts from various industries to share their knowledge on future relevant topics with students in emerging economies in Africa and Asia.
This combined teaching method prepares future generations to face the challenges in a rapidly changing world – all according to the key principle ‘education today, brighter future tomorrow’.

In December 2020, the last of the 1950 solar modules of our 750 kWp roof system were installed in Ilmenau, Thuringia. The connection to the grid is scheduled for May 2021. A second construction phase with approx. 1,000 kWp is planned for the second half of 2021.
Berbera hybrid power plant, Somalia
Together with our partner DHybrid from Munich, this 1 MWp open space project is being built at the port of Berbera in Somaliland.
Berbera hybrid power plant, Somalia
Together with our partner DHybrid from Munich, this 1 MWp open space project is being built at the port of Berbera in Somaliland. Together with our Kenyan colleagues from the Sunotec Group, we are installing this project mechanically and electrically. In combination with the DHybrid battery container and a modern diesel power plant not only was another reliable power supply created for the residents of Berbera, but diesel consumption and thus the costs for the power supply are also considerably reduced.

The philosophy behind the name
First Industrial revolution
The first machines
The first machine production started around 1800. To start with machines were operated by human power followed by mechanical production plants and machines powered by water and steam power.

Second Industrial revolution
Piecework & assembly line production
At the end of the 19th century, the 2nd industrial revolution followed with the introduction of electricity as a driving force. In the factory buildings the production was handled on assembly lines in record time and engines took over a large part of the work.

Fifth Industrial revolution
Time for sustainable technologies
Like Industry 4.0, the 5th industrial revolution is still a vision. With it, completely new forms and varieties of industrial existence become achievable. The promises of sustainable innovations are tremendous.
Nature offers mankind unimagined resources. The topics of renewability, environmental friendliness and clean energy become the pulling force of further industrial development.
With 5.0 we refer to the desire for a profound change, namely to make industry and production sustainable – bringing the world innovations that matter!
