What is Solarify?
Solarify.ch is the leading crowdinvesting platform for Swiss renewable energy projects. It offers the easiest way to invest in Swiss solar energy — with just three clicks, anyone can jump in and support the energy transition. Whether you’re an individual or a company, Solarify makes it simple and profitable to back Swiss solar projects. The platform contracts roofs all over Switzerland, plans solar installations, and finances these projects by selling single solar panels to private investors. Once the solar plants start producing electricity, Solarify sells the power and pays out revenues to investors every three months. Plus, if investors want out, they can sell their panels on the marketplace. Building owners also benefit by earning rent for their roof space. With over 100 projects financed and more than 20 million CHF raised, Solarify.ch has truly positioned itself as Switzerland’s top crowdinvesting platform for renewables.

How to Invest in Solar Projects

Then, Solarify takes care of everything — from installation to maintenance and marketing the solar power. Finally, sit back and watch your environmental contribution pay off as you receive profits every quarter. It’s impact investing made simple, transparent, and effective.
Rent Your Roof for the Energy Transition
Don’t own solar panels? No problem. If you have a roof over 200 m², you can rent it out for a solar project — completely free of personal investment. Just request a solar project for your roof, and once enough panels are sold, Solarify installs the system and handles all maintenance. You benefit either by using affordable solar power below regular electricity rates or by receiving regular roof rent. It’s a smart way to shape a sustainable future and get rewarded for it.
Produce Your Own Electricity Easily
Wondering how much electricity you actually need? Solarify helps you estimate your household consumption based on factors like annual kilometers driven with an electric car or e-bike, household size, and type of residence (single-family or multi-family home). This way, you can make informed decisions about producing your own electricity and contributing to the energy transition in a way that fits your lifestyle.
