From Solar Cell to Solar Panels

Cerica, part of the BOD Group, is a leading European solar energy technology company, specializing in the production of premium solar panels and energy storage solutions (batteries). Established in 2016, the company focuses on sustainable, innovative, and eco-friendly technologies. Cerica manufactures solar modules using 100% renewable energy, ensuring high durability and performance. Known for its advanced research, Cerica provides tailored solar solutions to residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, with products exported to major European markets, including Germany and Sweden.

Founded in 2016 as Cerica Holland B.V., Cerica initially focused on solar cell research and production. In 2018, the Cerica brand was launched, and production of glass-glass solar modules began. The company expanded into solar energy projects and installations in Lithuania by 2018. In 2020, Cerica shifted towards battery manufacturing for solar systems, establishing partnerships for a factory in Vilnius. In 2023, Cerica introduced residential solar batteries, and by 2024, it launched the first automated battery production line in the Baltics.

Sustainability in Every Step

Only Renewable Energy in Production

In 2013, our solar module factory building L.I.G.H.T WING in Vilnius was selected by the German Chamber of Commerce as the most energy efficient industrial building in Europe. Most of the building's energy needs are met by Cerica's solar and geothermal heating and cooling system, which consists of a 1.5 MW geothermal plant and a 150 kW solar power plant.

The Innovation and Business Centre (IVC), Cerica's second headquarters, is a 32,000 square metre industrial building that generates all the electricity needed for the building's operations. An 850 kW solar power plant covers the building's facade and roof. It is also the first building in Lithuania to incorporate a solar power plant of this size into its facade. The IVC building is not connected to the city's heating network. The heating function is provided by 80 geothermal boreholes dug to a depth of 130 metres. The required indoor climate in the laboratories and the research centre is ensured by 20 ventilation systems with a heat exchanger. The building is equipped with an energy storage system that allows the heating, cooling and emergency lighting functions to be maintained for 40 days in case of need. It is one of the first zero CO2 industrial buildings in Lithuania.

We use only renewable energy sources in the production of our solar modules and batteries, so we do not emit more than 400 tonnes of CO2 per year. To recycle this amount of CO2, 2,000 trees would need to be planted every year.

Cerica is a group of companies with other sustainable actions that have a positive impact on society and the environment. Since 2023, Cerica has started publishing voluntary sustainability reports.
