Our Story

Founded in 2005 by environmental engineer Dr. Elena Novak and renewable energy scientist Dr. Adrian Popescu, PertlyEawaken began as a small research initiative in Oradea, Romania. What started as a modest laboratory focused on improving solar cell efficiency has grown into a leading renewable energy solutions provider across Eastern Europe.

Our journey began during a time when renewable energy was still considered an alternative rather than a necessity. With limited resources but unlimited passion, our founders set out to develop sustainable energy technologies that could be both efficient and accessible to everyday consumers and businesses.

By 2010, we had expanded our research into wind energy solutions and energy-efficient building designs. The following year, we opened our first manufacturing facility, allowing us to produce our own solar panels and wind turbine components with rigorous quality control standards.

In 2015, we launched our complete home energy solution program, offering integrated renewable energy systems for residential properties. This marked our transition from a technology company to a comprehensive energy solutions provider focused on end-to-end implementation.

Today, with over 250 employees across three countries and more than 5,000 successful installations, we continue to innovate and expand our mission of making renewable energy the standard, not the exception.

Our Mission & Values

Guided by purpose, driven by innovation

Our Mission

At PertlyEawaken, our mission is to accelerate the global transition to sustainable energy by designing, manufacturing, and implementing renewable energy solutions that are efficient, accessible, and aesthetically pleasing. We believe that environmental responsibility and economic viability can coexist, and we work tirelessly to prove this through every project we undertake.

We aim to reduce carbon emissions by 1 million tons by 2030 through our installations and technologies, contributing meaningfully to the fight against climate change while empowering individuals and organizations to take control of their energy future.

Our Values

  • Innovation Excellence: We constantly push the boundaries of what's possible in renewable energy technology, never settling for the status quo.
  • Environmental Stewardship: Every decision we make considers its impact on our planet, both immediate and long-term.
  • Customer Partnership: We view our clients as partners in the journey toward sustainability, providing ongoing support beyond installation.
  • Integrity & Transparency: We are honest about capabilities, costs, and expectations, providing clear information throughout every project.
  • Accessibility: We believe renewable energy should be available to all, developing solutions for various budgets and needs.

Client Testimonials

Hear what our clients say about our solutions

Viktor Horvath - Business Owner

"Investing in PertlyEawaken's solar solution for our manufacturing facility was one of the best business decisions we've made. Within 18 months, we've recouped 40% of our investment through energy savings, and the system has been completely reliable even during peak production hours. Their team was professional throughout the entire process, from initial consultation to installation and follow-up maintenance."

Viktor Horvath

CEO, Carpathian Manufacturing

Sophia Becker - Homeowner

"Our family wanted to reduce our carbon footprint while also cutting down on rising energy costs. PertlyEawaken designed a comprehensive solution that included solar panels and energy efficiency upgrades throughout our home. The results have been remarkable—our energy bills are down by 85%, and we're even selling excess power back to the grid. The smart monitoring system they installed gives us real-time insights into our energy production and usage."
