What kraus elektrotechnik does

Kraus Elektrotechnik GmbH is a family-owned electrical contracting firm headquartered in Blumberg, Germany. Founded in 2011 as a sole proprietorship and incorporated as a GmbH in 2018, the company operates with 1–10 employees and serves residential customers, commercial/industrial clients, and agricultural operations in the regional German market.

The company's core offerings span electrical installation (Elektroinstallation), photovoltaic system planning and commissioning (Photovoltaik), battery storage (Speichersysteme), EV charging infrastructure (E-Mobilität), and split/multi-split climate systems (Klimasplitgeräte). Its differentiated add-on services are drone-based: PV inspection using DJI Matrice M30T and DJI M4P drones equipped with thermal and high-resolution RGB cameras to detect hotspots, faulty cells, soiled modules, and damaged connectors, plus a fawn rescue (Kitzrettung) service that uses thermal imaging to locate wildlife in tall grass before mowing. The services are positioned as an integrated energy concept combining PV, storage, EV charging, and building automation (KNX).

Commercially, Kraus Elektrotechnik runs a direct field-sales model with no online purchasing or self-serve options; pricing is quote-based following on-site consultation. Customer acquisition relies on local website presence, Instagram and Facebook activity, and word-of-mouth referrals in the Blumberg catchment. No external funding, acquisitions, or partnerships are disclosed; ownership is concentrated in the Kraus family, with Steffen Kraus as Managing Director and Gordana Kraus as Prokuristin.

Products and services

• Elektroinstallation Electrical installation services for residential and commercial buildings, including new construction wiring, renovation and modernization, power supply systems, lighting concepts, and Smart-Home system integration.
• Photovoltaik Planning, dimensioning, mounting, and commissioning of photovoltaic systems for private customers, commercial businesses, and agricultural operations, using quality modules from brand manufacturers.
• Speichersysteme Modern electricity storage systems paired with photovoltaic installations, enabling storage of excess solar power for later use to increase self-consumption and reduce grid dependency.
• E-Mobilität Individual charging solutions including wallboxes for private households, company locations, and multi-party buildings, with full planning, installation, commissioning, load management, and grid operator registration.
• Klimasplitgeräte Planning and installation of high-quality split and multi-split air conditioning systems tailored to the customer's rooms and requirements, using energy-efficient systems from brand manufacturers with quiet operation, intelligent control, and long-lasting quality.
• PV-Inspektion Drone-based photovoltaic inspection using thermal imaging cameras and high-resolution sensors to detect hotspots, faulty cells, soiled modules, and damaged connectors for targeted, contactless maintenance that extends PV system lifetime and secures maximum output.
• Kitzrettung Drone-based fawn rescue using thermal imaging cameras to locate fawns hidden in tall grass during mowing season so they can be rescued before agricultural harvesting, contributing to wildlife protection and sustainable agriculture.

Direct peers

• 1Komma5°: Berlin-based German residential solar, storage, heat-pump and EV-charging installer operating a Meisterbetrieb-style multi-service model at national scale; directly comparable to Kraus's integrated energy offering, but at vastly larger scope and with external growth capital.
• Enpal: Germany's largest residential solar leasing company offering turnkey PV, storage and wallbox with a monthly subscription model; directly competes with Kraus in the residential integrated-energy category, but competes via financing rather than cash purchase.
• Solarwatt: German manufacturer and installer of premium PV modules, glass-glass solar systems and battery storage with its own certified installer network; comparable because it sits at the same PV + storage + installer intersection as Kraus, but with proprietary hardware.
• IBC Solar: Bad Staffelstein-based German PV system house supplying modules, inverters, storage and project planning to installers including regional Meisterbetriebe; comparable to Kraus as a German solar value-chain participant with installer-channel focus (Kraus's site even links to an IBC Solar calculator).

Emerging players

• Zolar: Berlin-based online marketplace that connects German homeowners with regional solar installers and streamlines quoting and financing; comparable because Zolar routes jobs to local installers like Kraus while also competing for the end-customer relationship.

Broad incumbents

• E.ON Solar Solutions: Large German utility offering residential and commercial solar, storage, wallbox and heat-pump installation through its own sales channels; overlaps with Kraus's full product stack as a broader, utility-backed incumbent without regional-meister focus.
• EnBW Solar+: Karlsruhe-based German energy company with a growing residential PV, storage and wallbox product line directly competing with regional installers in Baden-Württemberg, including Kraus's home territory.
• Viessmann Climate Solutions: German heat-pump, HVAC and integrated home-energy manufacturer with an installer partner network; comparable as a supplier and ecosystem player for Kraus's Klimasplitgeräte and broader energy offering rather than a direct installer competitor.
• Sonnen (sonnen GmbH): German residential battery-storage manufacturer (now part of Shell) widely paired with PV installations in Germany; comparable as a Speichersysteme product-line counterpart to Kraus's battery-storage service offering.

Others

• Fronius Deutschland: Austrian/German manufacturer of solar inverters, battery storage and EV wallboxes commonly installed by German Elektromeisterbetriebe including PV-focused installers; comparable as a key enabling-technology supplier whose products Kraus integrates into customer installations.
