The German-based company has opened its second UK base in Speke, south Liverpool.
The firm was assisted in its move and setting up of new premises close to Liverpool John Lennon Airport by The Mersey Partnership.
Solen Energy UK currently has eight staff based in Unit 5 at Ashtenne Industrial Fund's Skypark International in Speke.
Lorraine Rogers, TMP chief executive, said: "TMP welcomes Solen Energy UK to the City Region. The company has a proven track record for developing business quickly once it has become established in an area.

We will be working with local people and intend to stay in the Merseyside region to ensure long term relationships with our customers."
Solen Energy's new Liverpool base will offer a full turn-key solution for solar energy systems using a partnership of local staff and Solen's experience in the European solar market.
