Sebasol

About

Sebasol is a ngo headquartered in Switzerland with approximately 10-50 employees specializing in Solar, Biomass.

Sebasol designs and implements solar thermal heating systems for residential properties. The organization promotes a low-tech approach combining solar thermal collectors (typically 18 m²) with hydraulic wood stoves to meet annual heating and hot water needs for well-insulated homes using minimal electricity (50-100 kWh annually) and 1-3 steres of wood. Systems can provide 60-70% of heating requirements from solar thermal energy alone. Sebasol operates through three regional centers in French-speaking Switzerland and a network of licensed independent installers. The organization offers education through training courses (Cours de la Reconquête, Cours de Base, Cours Avancé) enabling homeowners to build systems themselves or contract certified installers for turnkey solutions. As a non-profit, Sebasol does not sell products but licenses installation concepts and provides technical support, focusing on energy sovereignty, low operational complexity, and user repairability.
