PEROVSKITE BIPV · SOLAR PROJECT COORDINATION

Perovskite BIPV façade systems, with infrastructure and EPC coordination services planned.

Tabernair designs façade systems for perovskite BIPV and offers planning and coordination for solar projects on buildings and sites. We plan to add engineering consultancy, project management and EPC coordination for energy, façade and data-centre projects; construction, equipment and specialist engineering will be carried out by contractors that contract directly with the project owner.

Based in Erlangen, Germany. We take enquiries from the EU, MENA and APAC.

WHAT WE DO

Our services, current and planned.

Projects often stall where engineering, permits, contractors and financing meet. We keep those workstreams under one plan, so decisions get made in the right order.

Planned

01

Infrastructure development

Planned: site assessment, permitting support, project structuring and stakeholder management, up to a decision-ready development brief.

Planned

02

EPC coordination

Planned: we will coordinate engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning for the owner, under one programme. The EPC work itself will be done by contractors that contract directly with the owner. We are not an EPC contractor.

Planned

03

Data centres and digital infrastructure

Planned: planning support for power, cooling, site selection and modular delivery of data centres. The design and construction work will be done by specialist contractors.

04

Solar energy and perovskite BIPV

Planning and coordination of solar projects for buildings and sites, and our own façade system for perovskite BIPV.

DATA CENTRES AND DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE · PLANNED SERVICE

Power, cooling and delivery capacity decide when a data centre opens.

In Europe, the timeline of a data-centre project is usually set by the grid connection, site labour and the capital committed before the first hall goes live. Our planned service starts from these constraints.

Grid connection

Connection queues and network reinforcement often set the opening date. We will assess grid options and timing before design is fixed.

Site labour

Mechanical, electrical and cooling work competes for the same scarce trades. We will plan sequencing and off-site work to reduce peak site labour.

Capital tied up early

Land, power and long-lead equipment are committed before revenue. We will stage scope so each commitment follows a decision point.

Traditional delivery

Sequential site construction. Weather and labour exposure. Many interfaces resolved late.

Modular delivery

Power and cooling modules built off site by specialist manufacturers. Site and factory work can run in parallel. Under this model, the manufacturer assembles and checks the modules before they ship. Less work left to the site.

We plan to provide planning and coordination. Design, equipment and construction will come from specialist firms contracted by the owner.

PEROVSKITE BIPV

Façades that generate power.

We design façade systems for perovskite BIPV: the system around the module, how it is held and fixed across the whole façade assembly.

WHO OUR SERVICES ARE FOR

Each conversation starts from your role.

01 · Public sector

Governments and agencies planning energy, building or data-centre programmes around land, grid and procurement rules.

02 · Owners and developers

Landowners, asset owners and companies assessing whether a site, roof or building can carry an infrastructure project.

03 · Operators

Data-centre and industrial operators linking capacity growth to power, cooling and delivery plans.

04 · Investors and lenders

Funds and banks that need the technical and delivery evidence behind a project. We prepare it; we don’t arrange finance.

HOW WE WORK

From first conversation to a project you can build.

01 Define the opportunity

The site, the energy need, the data-centre requirement or the problem to solve.

02 Test feasibility and risk

03 Shape the delivery

05 Move to delivery

Due diligence, stakeholder sign-off, financing discussions or construction start, with clear next steps.

Delivery model

Tabernair acts as the owner’s single point of coordination. Each specialist contractor contracts directly with the project owner for its own scope.

Engagements for non-solar services start once our registered business purpose has been extended.

INSIGHTS

Short notes on infrastructure, energy and building-integrated solar.

Data centres

Grid access in Europe: why the connection date often sets the opening date, and what owners can do early.

Modular delivery

What moves off site when power and cooling are factory-built, and what still has to be solved on site.

Financing readiness

The technical and delivery evidence lenders ask for. Financing comes from banks and other financiers directly to the project owner; Tabernair does not arrange or broker financing.

ABOUT TABERNAIR

Founded to get infrastructure projects from idea to construction with fewer surprises.

Tabernair UG is based in Erlangen, Germany. We design façade systems for perovskite BIPV and coordinate solar projects. We plan to add infrastructure development, EPC coordination and data-centre planning, all led by our founder and CEO.

Martin Stephen founded Tabernair and is its Managing Director. From 2013 to 2022 he was Director of Engineering & Operations Group (Singapore).

Vision

Buildings and infrastructure that produce part of the energy they use, planned so the power supply and the delivery work from day one.

Mission

We take solar and façade projects from first assessment to a plan that can be built, with one founder-led team that coordinates the work for the owner. We plan to extend this to energy and data-centre projects.
