Solargenossenschaft

About

Founded in 1992, Solargenossenschaft is a co-op headquartered in Zollikofen, Switzerland specializing in Solar, Hydro, Energy Storage.

Solargenossenschaft is a cooperative that develops and operates renewable energy installations in Switzerland. The cooperative installed its first 9 kWp solar array in 1993 on the municipal administration building, expanding with additional installations in 2006 (6 kWp) and 2013 (23 kWp). In 2021, a battery storage system was added to a multi-family residential building to enable self-consumption. The cooperative previously operated a small hydroelectric plant (Graben) from 2004 to 2019, generating up to 15,000 kWh annually until decommissioned due to low water levels and operational constraints. Members have access to produced renewable electricity through the cooperative's eco-electricity exchange platform at a premium rate.
