About
Solectif is a ngo headquartered in Berne, Switzerland specializing in Solar.
Solectif is a platform created by the Swiss Association for Solar Energy (SSES) and its professional association VESE to support solar cooperatives in Switzerland. The platform strengthens networking among solar cooperatives, disseminates best practices, and connects future cooperative members with existing organizations. It addresses Switzerland's high rental population (60%) by enabling participation in solar energy production without property ownership. Solectif provides comprehensive support including a solar cooperative manual covering founding, daily operations, planning, construction, and maintenance of solar installations; starter workshops on cooperative creation and solar installation planning; roof acquisition checklists; contract templates; and twice-yearly newsletters. The platform has operated for over 30 years, fostering local value creation, public engagement in energy transition, and social acceptance of renewable energy through participatory and inclusive approaches.
