SOMO® Module Upgrade
Ready for The Next Generation
Switch to The SOMO® Gen6
Send in old modules, get a discount & upgrade to the 6th generation
Electronic components do not belong in household waste; proper handling is essential. That is exactly what we take care of for you: Through our upgrade program, we collect older solar modules directly.
Every returned module is first inspected by us. If it is still functional, we explore options for reuse, for instance through donation projects. If the electronic lifespan is exhausted, we ensure proper, compliant disposal.
Simply send your current module back to us and benefit from a discount on the new 6th generation SOMO solar light, which flexibly fits into all Sonnenglas® products and comes with a new warranty.
All details regarding the process, the advantages of the SOMO Generation 6, and pricing can be found right here on this page.
