Expertises S30

During his career as an energy consultant, Riccardo Delmastro— Head of Energy at Solutions30 Italia and author of Manual of Vertical Borehole Geothermal Systems —has consistently relied on objective data to support energy-saving and production solutions. Yet, he observed that clients’ final decisions were not always based solely on numbers. Perceptions , opinions, and intangible factors often played a decisive role.   In a 2007 meeting with colleagues and a client, a pivotal question emerged : Why is photovoltaic energy often preferred over geothermal, despite its economic and ecological limitations?     This reflection led to the identification of three key components that influence corporate energy investment decisions:   ECOnomy – Cost and return on investment   ECOlogy – Environmental impact, energy savings, and emissions reduction   ECOperception – The symbolic value and social acceptance of the investment   The third factor, ECOperception , ...

When I first stepped into the world of photovoltaics, I wasn’t just chasing a career - I was chasing a purpose. The idea that technology could drive real environmental change lit a spark in me. I saw solar energy not just as a business opportunity, but as a way to contribute to something bigger. Today, as Head of the Energy Business Unit at Solutions30 Germany, I lead our energy division with a clear mission: growth, excellence, and impact. My role spans strategy, team leadership, and overseeing projects from the first handshake to final delivery. What truly drives me is seeing our teams align, collaborate, and deliver what we promise our clients. The energy sector has evolved dramatically since I began. What once felt like a niche field has become a dynamic, digital, and highly professional industry. We’ve moved from isolated installations to integrated systems that power communities and industries. Speed, flexibility, and system thinking are no longer optional - they’re essential. Of...

It is this belief—that the customer should be at the heart of the process—that led to the creation of the SmartClient portal, a suite of modules designed with a single goal in mind—or rather, three letters: KCI (Keep Customer Informed). Paired with the SmartTech application, which technicians use to share their location, communicate via chat, and update field information, the SmartClient portal allows end customers to follow their service intervention in real time. A simple ambition, but one that resonates strongly at a time when people are asking for more autonomy, transparency, and a human presence behind digital interfaces. With SmartClient, customers can track the progress of their intervention, reschedule an appointment, chat with the technician, or simply find out when they will arrive. These features may seem obvious today, but they required careful coordination to implement. Similar solutions have emerged elsewhere—particularly in other sectors or from certain tech players. But...

  My commitment to photovoltaics was born from my first experiences in Madagascar and then in Canada, where I became deeply aware of global energy challenges and the environmental impact of our consumption. It was only natural that I turned to solar and wind energy. As an engineer in mechanical and electrical engineering, this choice made sense—both professionally and personally. Working in a sector that reflects my human and ecological convictions gives real meaning to my work. Since the beginning of my career, I’ve seen this industry evolve at an impressive pace: technologies have improved, costs have fallen, business models have evolved, energy storage has become more accessible... and the challenge of adapting the networks has become central, given the rise of intermittent energies. At the heart of this transformation, infrastructure plays a key role. Without a network capable of absorbing, adjusting, and redistributing energy efficiently, the transition cannot take place. Fran...

  The energy transition is at the heart of current challenges, and one of the major levers to reduce our carbon footprint lies in the decarbonization of construction sites. This transformation, which involves both businesses and local communities, aims to rethink construction methods to limit their environmental impact while promoting a more sustainable economy. A Key Topic at the EnerGaïa Forum At the EnerGaïa Forum, a major event dedicated to solutions for the energy transition, the issue of decarbonizing construction sites was widely discussed. I had the opportunity to participate in a rewarding roundtable alongside Gilles Pinel (Regional Director of Enedis), Isabelle Bergé (First Deputy of La Grande Motte), and the president of the SRER Occitanie. We exchanged views on the challenges and opportunities related to this essential transformation in the construction sector. Evolving Technical Solutions Innovation plays a crucial role in the transition to more environmentally-f...
