What Solexis does

Solexis SA is a privately-held Swiss société anonyme headquartered in Sierre (with an administrative and technical office in Yverdon-les-Bains) that operates as a specialized B2B distributor and engineering services provider for photovoltaic (PV), solar thermal, and adjacent energy-transition products. The company curates and distributes a portfolio spanning panels, inverters (string, micro, and hybrid), mounting systems, battery storage (including the Sigenergy SigenStor integrated home energy system), EV chargers, heat pumps, off-grid systems, and accessories — sourced from international manufacturers including Sigenergy (Silver Distributor, only in Switzerland), Huawei (Silver Partner), LG, Enphase, SolarEdge, Longi, Solyco, Smartflower, Fronius, Imeon, and 3S Solar Plus.

Solexis serves three primary end-customer segments — residential homeowners, commercial and agricultural businesses (the 'Volticulture' concept), and industrial and public-sector clients — through a network of certified installer partners ('Solarteurs') across Suisse romande and German-speaking Switzerland. Beyond hardware distribution, the company operates an internal engineering bureau (in partnership with Isotosi for building envelope integration) delivering feasibility studies, system design, production simulation, and profitability analysis; a project management service handling administration, subsidies, and tenders; professional training programs for installers; and an after-sales service. Customer-facing digital tools include the Eturnity-powered solar and thermal calculators, the shop.solexis.ch e-commerce storefront, and GDPR/LPD-compliant data flows through MailChimp for newsletters.

Revenue is generated across five streams: hardware distribution (quote-based, ex-works Sierre in CHF, one-time sales), engineering and study services (professional services fees), full project management, professional training, and after-sales support. Go-to-market combines a regional field-sales organization (dedicated reps covering cantonal territories), a partner installer channel that recurs on leads supplied by Solexis, direct e-commerce, and educational/event marketing at Swiss and European trade fairs (Energissima, Intersolar Europe). No public pricing is disclosed; pricing is quote-based and subject to change without notice. Solexis is independently owned with no disclosed parent, VC, or institutional shareholders; Frédéric Bichsel is identified as Director.
