Martin Örgård, CTO
The Founding of Sunsurf Solar
Sunsurf Solar was founded in 2020 by Marc Montgomery, Martin Örgård, and Björn Larsson, united by a shared commitment to tackling the growing climate crisis and accelerating the development of sustainable technologies.
With backgrounds in engineering and environmental science, and experience in offshore technology development, the team saw floating photovoltaics as both a natural progression and an exciting challenge. After years of intensive R&D, testing, and validation, Sunsurf Solar has delivered a solution that enables the efficient installation of competitive floating solar systems, even under the demanding conditions of the Nordic climate.
