What enercitySolution GmbH does

enercitySolution GmbH is a 100% subsidiary of enercity AG, headquartered in Hannover, Germany, that designs, sells, installs, and services photovoltaic (PV) solar systems for residential, commercial, industrial, and housing cooperative customers primarily in the Lower Saxony region. Founded in 2019 with approximately 41 employees, the company operates as a regional full-service solar provider with a dual private-customer (B2C) and commercial-customer (B2B) go-to-market, the former routed through enercity.de and the latter handled directly by an internal field sales team led by dedicated heads of each segment.

The core technology is conventional grid-tied PV — solar panel systems sized for rooftop residential or commercial/industrial self-consumption — extended into a modular ecosystem of add-on services including energy controlling, peak-shaving, direct marketing (Direktvermarktung), billing, ongoing service/maintenance, and bundled EV charging stations sourced from the broader enercity product portfolio. The company partners with skando energie for intelligent process and energy cost optimization software that supports commercial customers in reducing peak loads and continuous operational monitoring.

Commercially, enercitySolution operates a hybrid revenue model combining one-time hardware revenue (Kauf/purchase), recurring subscription revenue (Pacht/lease and Service/wartung contracts), and professional services revenue (energy optimization and billing). Pricing is quote-based and tailored to system size and customer segment. Marketing and distribution are direct — website inquiry forms feed a structured 4-step consultation-to-installation process, supplemented by partner referrals and dedicated outside sales representatives for the B2B segment. The company is in an active build-out phase, recruiting across sales, electrical trades, and process optimization to expand install and service capacity.
