What SUNCREST ENGINEERING LIMITED does

Suncrest GmbH, operating as Suncrest, is a privately held Swiss B2B distributor and installer of photovoltaic (PV) system components headquartered in Pratteln, Basel-Landschaft, with distribution warehouses in Basel and Aefligen. Founded by Siro de Carli and Noëlle Straumann, who hold equal co-ownership and serve as co-managing directors, the company has more than 25 years of experience in planning and installing PV systems and operates as the Swiss affiliate of the Netherlands-based Libra Group. The company distributes a complete PV portfolio — solar modules (AIKO N-Type ABC, Jinko Tiger Neo), inverters (Enphase IQ8 microinverters, Solis three-phase hybrid inverters up to 125 kW, EcoFlow PowerOcean), battery storage (EcoFlow, Dyness, Green Energy Solution residential and C&I systems), mounting hardware (Esdec ClickFit Evo, Blubase, GSE Intégration), EV chargers, energy management solutions, and accessories — exclusively to certified installers through its B2B e-commerce webstore at suncrest.ch, supplemented by warehouse pickup and a regional partner-firm network concentrated in cantons BS, BL, AG, and SO. Suncrest's revenue model combines hardware resale (unit-based pricing in CHF) with professional services revenue from planning, permit registrations, commissioning, and documentation. With 34 employees, no external funding, no public listing, and no M&A activity disclosed, the company is a regionally focused, founder-led SMB operating in a structurally growing Swiss PV market.
