When Everything Has to Work on the Ground: What Makes Reck Solar and Elme Elektromechanik Special

Reliable power supply is anything but a minor issue at an airport. Aircraft and helicopters also require electrical power on the ground – for maintenance, onboard systems and efficient operations in the hangar or on the apron. This is precisely where Reck Solar & Elme Elektromechanik comes in.

What sets the company apart is the combination of decades of experience, technical expertise and customized solutions. Since 1978, the company has been developing and manufacturing power supply solutions for aviation and industrial applications. At the heart of its portfolio are Ground Power Units (GPUs), which provide aircraft and helicopters with a reliable supply of electrical power.

From Compact Solutions to High-Performance Systems

Reck Solar & Elme Elektromechanik does not rely exclusively on standard products. Its portfolio includes both compact, mobile power supply solutions and high-performance systems. The range includes units for 28 V DC and 200/400 Hz, with peak outputs of up to 2,400 amps.

One example is the APU400/1600. This mobile or stationary ground power supply can be used both in hangars and on the apron. It delivers 400 amps continuously and up to 1,600 amps at peak output. Depending on the configuration, it can be adapted to a wide range of operating conditions.

When Standard Solutions Are Not Enough

One of Reck Solar's particular strengths is customized development. In aviation, there is not always a one-size-fits-all solution. Different aircraft types, operating environments and technical requirements call for individual concepts.

That is why Reck Solar and Elme offer more than just GPU systems. Their portfolio also includes customized power supply solutions, frequency converters, electrical control cabinets and special-purpose constructions. The philosophy is simple: customers should not have to adapt their application to the product. Instead, the technology is tailored to the specific application.

Quality That Matters in Everyday Operations

When it comes to ground power supplies, it is not spectacular headlines that matter most, but reliability, robustness and practical usability. A GPU has to work when it is needed – whether in the hangar or out on the apron.

Reck Solar's specialization in this field is also reflected in its aviation references. Its customers and users include Cessna, Airbus and the German Aerospace Center (DLR).

Technology with the Future in Mind

Another particularly interesting aspect is the connection between aviation technology and sustainable energy supply. In addition to electrical engineering, Reck Solar is active in the field of renewable energy and focuses on sustainable, future-oriented solutions.

What Makes Reck Solar Stand Out?

Reck Solar combines experience with flexibility: decades of expertise in electrical power supply come together with customized manufacturing and practical solutions. From compact mobile units to high-performance Ground Power Units, the company develops systems tailored to specific requirements – providing the technology behind the scenes that helps ensure reliable aircraft operations on the ground.

This makes Reck Solar an interesting partner for the aviation industry – not only as a manufacturer of power supply systems, but also as a development partner for customized energy and electrical solutions.
