What Faiss - Elektrotechnik Kg does

Faiss Elektrotechnik KG is a family-owned electrical contracting and renewable energy installation company headquartered in Starzach-Felldorf, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Founded in 1956 as Elektro-Faiss by Adolf Faiss and rebranded to its current name in 2005, the firm operates as a Kommanditgesellschaft (German limited partnership) under second-generation management by Armin Faiss and Vivien Faiss, with Elisabeth Faiss as a member of management. With 22 employees (4 Meister, 8 Monteure, 6 office staff, 2 apprentices), the company delivers traditional electrical installation, KNX-based building system technology, photovoltaic systems, partner-branded battery storage (FENECON, SENEC, IBC HomeOne), EV charging infrastructure, heat pump electrical integration, LED street and parking lighting, and certified safety inspections (E-Check, DGUV).

The company earns revenue through project-based installation contracts and one-time hardware sales for PV and storage systems, supplemented by recurring rental income from a company-owned 20.7-meter aerial work platform. Its go-to-market is sales-led and local/regional: the firm delivers services directly through its own team of technicians and masters across Starzach and surrounding areas, with inbound demand generated through a website with general and PV-specific contact forms, SEO, social channels, customer testimonials, and referrals from manufacturer partner networks (SENEC Fachpartner, IBC HomeOne Partner, FENECON installer). Pricing is quote-based for installation work and unit-based for equipment rental; no installation prices are publicly disclosed.

Customer segments span industry and commercial, high-end residential construction, public sector and municipalities, and church/religious buildings. Notable engagements include the Sanierung Kirche Schramberg electrical renovation and the Gemeinde Wachendorf LED street lighting conversion that reduced municipal electricity consumption by more than 80%. The business is differentiated less by technology — most platforms are partner-supplied — and more by long-tenured, locally embedded skilled labor (with employees of 20, 35, and 45 years), a 2-3 apprentice per year training pipeline, and 65+ years of regional brand presence.

Others

• SENEC: SENEC is a German battery storage manufacturer (owned by EnBW) whose products FAISS installs as a certified Fachpartner. The partnership terms, field-exchange program, and SENEC's direct-to-consumer push directly affect FAISS's economics.
• IBC Solar: IBC Solar is a German solar wholesaler and EPC contractor whose HomeOne complete package FAISS sells and installs as a certified partner. IBC's installer-network growth strategy determines FAISS's access to product and customer leads.
• FENECON: FENECON is a German manufacturer of LFP battery storage systems and the FEMS energy management platform — a core technology partner whose products FAISS installs. Comparison is relevant because FENECON's installer-network strategy directly shapes FAISS's lead flow.
• Handwerkskammer Reutlingen: Handwerkskammer Reutlingen is the Chamber of Crafts regulating FAISS and thousands of similar Elektrohandwerk firms in the region. It shapes licensing, training standards, and continuing-education requirements that govern FAISS's operating model.

Broad incumbents

• Lichtblick: Lichtblick is a German renewable energy and decentralized energy provider offering household PV, storage, EV charging, and dynamic-tariff products — overlapping FAISS's residential PV-plus-storage value proposition at a national scale.
• EnBW: EnBW is one of Germany's largest energy utilities, with significant residential PV, storage (via SENEC), EV charging, and heat-pump offerings. As a broad incumbent, EnBW competes with FAISS indirectly by owning both upstream brands and downstream customer channels.

Direct peers

• Enpal: Enpal is Germany's largest residential solar leasing and installation company, offering turnkey PV + storage + wallbox packages directly to homeowners — competing head-to-head with FAISS's IBC HomeOne and FENECON/SENEC integrated offerings in the residential segment.
• Elomech Gruppe: Elomech is a German MEP and electrical contracting group offering electrical installation, automation, and energy solutions across multiple regional offices — comparable to FAISS as a multi-trade electrical contractor with industrial and commercial customer segments.
• 1komma5°: 1komma5° is a German residential solar and energy installer rapidly scaling across Germany with PV, storage, heat pumps, and EV charging offerings — the same integrated product set FAISS provides, but with national scope and aggregated installer model.

Emerging players

• Zolar: Zolar is a German solar marketplace that connects homeowners with regional installers for PV and storage projects — directly comparable to FAISS as a regional installer that could be selected through Zolar's platform.
