Solarify employs a rigorous, multi-stage selection process to ensure that every renewable energy project listed on the platform is technically sound and financially viable for at least 30 years. Solarify uses high-quality modules and materials. Because the investors hold direct ownership of the hardware the "due diligence" is focused on both the physical infrastructure as well as the long-term energy consumption of the building and electricity sales and trading possibilities under Swiss law.

The team behind Solarify is a blend of energy and finance experts, project professionals, and engineers. Today, Solarify employs 25 staff members. The company was founded in 2016 by Aurel Schmid, who currently acts as Chairman of the Board. Since 2025, the executive management has been led by CEO Roger Langenegger.

Solarify uses a multi-layered risk management strategy that leverages the physical nature of the investment. Because investors own hardware (solar and battery modules), the risk mitigation is focused on asset protection, insurance for the infrastructure during the whole project lifetime and operational continuity.

Investing in Solarify.ch is a net-yield experience, meaning the costs of running the solar plant are deducted before you receive your payout from the electricity sales revenue. Solarify typically takes a management share of 20% (which can vary slightly depending on the specific project) on the net revenue from electricity sales.

Yes, all energy infrastructure assets managed by Solarify are fully insured during the whole project lifetime. The scope of insurance coverage include:

• Natural hazards: Protection against damage from hail, storms and fire.
• Operational failures: Protection against short circuits, material defects, and construction errors.

Yield protection (business interruption): The loss of earnings is also insured through the leading Swiss insurance company Die Mobiliar. If a solar plant stops producing power due to a covered damage event, the insurance compensates for the lost revenue from electricity sales, ensuring your quarterly payouts remain stable.

Solarify offers the Digital Energy Hub, an investor dashboard & analytics portal where investors can monitor their portfolio in real-time.

Production Monitoring: Investors can track how much electricity his or her specific modules are generating.

Impact Reporting: The dashboard displays the personal contribution to carbon reduction, visualised in metrics like "CO2 saved" or "kilometers driven by an electric car."

Yield Statements: Automated quarterly reports that break down the financial performance, revenue from energy sales, and operating costs of the solar and battery plants.

Because Solarify utilises a direct ownership model, the way customer money is handled is divided into two distinct phases: the purchase phase and the operational (payout) phase.

1. The Purchase Phase: When you pay for solar panels, your money is stored on a dedicated project account and used specifically for the purchase and installation of physical infrastructure.

2. Operational Phase: Once the panels are producing electricity, the revenue from the electricity sales is collected by Solarify in a dedicated operational account and pay out on a quarterly basis to the investors' linked bank accounts via Swiss interbank transfers (SIC/SEPA).

Bankruptcy Protection: Under Swiss law, the modules are your personal property, not Solarify’s. If the platform were to go into liquidation, the modules are separated from the bankruptcy estate by default because they belong to you as investor. They are not part of Solarify's balance sheet.

Solarify offers a marketplace:

• The platform hosts an internal marketplace where existing owners can list their panels for sale.
• Pricing Rule: On the Solarify marketplace, panels are typically offered at their current book value (the residual value). This is calculated via a linear quarterly depreciation over the project's lifetime
• Open Market Freedom: While the marketplace sets the residual value, you are legally the owner. You are free to find a private buyer independently and sell the panels at a higher (or lower) price.
