SWISS SOLAR AG

What SWISS SOLAR AG does

SWISS SOLAR AG, operating under parent entity SSWISS GROUP AG and headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, is a solar module brand founded in 2019. The company does not own factories; instead, it specifies and designs proprietary photovoltaic technologies — TOPCon Advance+ cells (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact with Dual-Sided Selective Passivation via Atomic Layer Deposition), DuraGlass X tempered glass (Nano-Matrix Tempering, 96.2% light transmission), and AluForce aluminum frames (Nano-Titanium Alloyed, C5-M corrosion rated) — and has them manufactured at Bloomberg NEF Tier 1 certified facilities under on-site Swiss Solar quality control supervision, with claimed annual capacity of 8.65 GW.

The commercial product is the PHANTOM Series, launched for order in January 2026, comprising 12 SKUs spanning 470W to 730W across PHANTOM Standard (silver-framed) and PHANTOM Black (all-black aesthetic) variants, in bifacial and bifacial-double-glass configurations. Modules carry a 30-year combined product and performance warranty, TUV SUD, CE, and IEC 61215/61730 certifications, and are positioned for commercial, industrial, and utility-scale solar developers requiring bankable modules for project financing.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales of these modules via a three-tier authorized distribution partner program (Silver, Gold, Platinum) with exclusive territorial rights at higher tiers. Pricing is quote-based, logistics are centralized through a company-operated warehouse hub in Rotterdam enabling under-14-day delivery across Europe, and the company sells under multi-year contract terms. The company employs 11 staff and is privately held, with no disclosed investors or external funding.

Core offering

SWISS SOLAR AG designs, engineers and distributes premium photovoltaic solar modules under its PHANTOM brand, with power outputs ranging from 470W to 730W. The modules integrate proprietary TOPCon Advance cell architecture, DuraGlass X tempered glass and AluForce reinforced aluminum frames, and are sold primarily to commercial, industrial and utility-scale project developers through a tiered authorized distribution partner network. Manufacturing is performed at Bloomberg NEF Tier 1 certified facilities under Swiss Solar quality-control oversight, with 8.65 GW of annual production capacity and a 30-year product and performance warranty.

Product overview

SWISS SOLAR AG offers a unified portfolio of premium solar modules under the PHANTOM brand, comprising two sub-lines: PHANTOM Standard (silver-framed) and PHANTOM Black (all-black aesthetic). Both sub-lines share core proprietary technologies — TOPCon Advance cells, DuraGlassX tempered glass, and AluForce aluminum frames — and are differentiated only by power ratings (470W–730W) and cell counts (48-cell to 66-cell). The portfolio spans 12 distinct module SKUs across power classes and aesthetic variants, targeting commercial, industrial, and utility-scale solar projects. The company manufactures at certified Tier 1 facilities under Swiss engineering quality control, offering a 30-year product and performance warranty.
