Frode Lindmo
Senior Partner
Frode has worked in the solar energy industry since 2015 and has previously worked in most trades you can imagine.

Strømmen (as we must call him since we are all Kristoffers) has worked in the solar energy industry since 2020 and has previously worked as a beer brewer (bar manager) and with cleaning technology in the shipping industry. He has also worked at a smelter and generally has very high expertise in materials and their application. At Zolw, Strømmen is responsible for checking that all calculations are correct and has a lot of daily customer contact. He also gives courses and travels a lot to assist on various solar cell projects in Norway. From time to time, he also helps to ensure that the organizational aspects of the company are at a certain level (not yet successful with the implementation of Sharepoint). Strømmen is above average fond of beards and beard shampoos (occasionally he also mentions something about beer and Arsenal). He also sometimes shows up and plays football for KØB, but with an injury statistic that is higher than attendance statistics, it is questionable whether there will be much in the future.
Civil engineer in materials technology from NTNU, and has the following courses: Hot work Working at height Scaffolding assembly PV*SOL (external) PV*SOL (internal) Reference projects: Since 2020, Strømmen has already been involved in several large and complicated facilities. Of the larger well-known projects, Strømmen has been involved in the solar cell systems of: GWP 9 (Innovation Norway) Ramberg school Volvo feasibility study Volda University College Askøy VGS Sofienberg school
Kristoffer Strømmen
CTO
Christopher Søetorp
CEO
Christopher is another one of the Kristoffers in Zolw. He has worked in the solar energy industry since 2015, and before that worked in logistics at Bring. He is the only one in Zolw without ADHD and with structure. He organizes and facilitates that everyone is well and keeps us in the loop if he has to. He has an annoying sticky brain that often remembers verbatim what you said 3 months ago, and most likely remembers the project he did for you 13 months ago. In Zolw, he is responsible for all of us employees, and is seen as the entire PV*Sol guru of Norway. Christopher is an avid football supporter (Vålerenga, Manchester United and Wrexham) and now also a coach. We expect that the next Ada Hegerberg has been trained by Christopher in his youth.
Graduated from Bergen University College and the University of Bergen with a Bachelor in Political Economy and a Bachelor in Economics - Accounting, sits as a member of NK82. Courses: PV*Sol (external) PVPro K2 Systems training FSE Climate Accounting Industry Program Solar Power 2025 Reference projects: Over the past few years, Christopher has been involved in a number of projects, both large and small. Mainly within simulation and optimization of facilities. Among others: Krusemarka Nygård Nursing Home Feasibility Study Ulstein Municipality Feasibility Study Vestfold and Telemark County Municipality Garnes Ungdomsskole Eilert Sundt VGS
Kristoffer has worked with us since June 2023. He is versatile and professionally skilled and has exceeded our expectations and works independently and well. With us, Kristoffer is central to the development of our portal and is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the website. Not so rarely, he also helps us with various computer technical problems. Kristoffer is simply good at seeing solutions where our knowledge falls short. The combination of developer with an electrician background makes him a perfect fit for us. In his free time, Kristoffer is interested in cars and motorcycles, gaming and developing his coding skills. In an otherwise extremely chatty group, we are also happy that we have brought in someone who listens and doesn't interrupt (cough*Frode*cough).
Kristoffer har utdanning i Bachelor i Informatikk og er elektriker gruppe L. Kurset i PV Sol Kurset i `Innføring i solcelle` Referanseprosjekter: Kristoffer har ikke vært med oss så lenge og er ny i bransjen, men han har mye kunnskap som kan benyttes inn mot solcellefaget. Kanskje har du et prosjekt som kan bli hans første solcellereferanse?

Zolw - et uavhengig produkt og kompetansesenter innen solenergibransjen
Solenergi er blant de mest spennende fagområdene i verden. Teknologien utvikler seg rekordraskt, blir stadig bedre, billigere og mer utbredt på næringsbygg og private eneboliger i Norge.
Den raske utviklingen stiller krav til norske bedrifter om å holde seg oppdatert på den faglige utviklingen, produktspekter, materialvalg og teknologi for å sikre at de beste løsningene blir installert i det norske markedet.
For å hjelpe norske installatører med dette ble ZOLW AS opprettet.
Zolw AS er et norsk kompetanseselskap innen solenergi. Selskapet driver med kurs og opplæringsvirksomhet for foreninger, næringsliv og offentlige aktører.
Zolw hjelper også andre konsulentselskap, det offentlige og installatører o.a. med hjelp til prosjektering, anbudsskriving og dokumentasjon av solenergianlegg.
Zolw er også ledende på kunnskap om produkter og utviklingen i hele solenergibransjen. Selskapet utvikler også innovative løsninger selv som Zolw sine samarbeidspartnere drar nytte av.
I tillegg er Zolw med ute på byggeplass for å veilede og kvalitetssikre selve installeringen.
Zolw har som motto å fremme solenergi og sikre den beste kvaliteten på solenergianlegg.
Med en visjon om å akselerere overgangen til bærekraftig energi, tilbyr vi en bred portefølje av opplæringsprogrammer og workshops for fagfolk, studenter og enkeltpersoner som ønsker å fordype seg i solenergiteknologi.
En viktig del av vår visjon er å bidra til å utvikle en kompetent og kvalifisert arbeidsstyrke innenfor solenergisektoren.
We want to create value for our customers by helping customers win and complete projects with good quality and the right price. Our customers will experience us as a partner that creates added value for them and their customers.
