Younergy
Taking better control of your energy shouldn’t be complicated.
Younergy supports homeowners, businesses and local authorities in Switzerland with the design, installation and monitoring of their solar energy solutions.
Our origins
In 2015, Younergy opened up a new pathway to solar energy.
Founded on the EPFL campus in Lausanne, Younergy launched a pioneer model for Swiss residential solar.
Solar-as-a-service. Property owners can switch to solar without any initial investment and simply pay for the electricity generated, whilst Younergy handles design, installation, administrative procedures and maintenance.
Energy independence is built far beyond simple generation.
For a long time, switching to solar essentially meant generating electricity and feeding the surplus back into the grid. Today, the focus has shifted: using more of that energy on site, storing it, powering new applications, and deciding more intelligently when and how to consume it.
Generate locally.
Harness the potential of roofs, facades and other available surfaces to produce renewable energy as close as possible to where it is needed.
Use intelligently.
Self-consumption, battery storage, energy sharing, electric mobility or heat pumps: making every kilowatt-hour work harder.
Manage simply.
Understand your generation and consumption, automate best practices, and retain control over your energy over time.
Our ambition
Turning every building into an active participant in tomorrow’s energy.
We want to increase the number of buildings capable of covering a greater share of their needs with locally produced, better-utilised and better-managed energy. Across Switzerland, this shift helps build a more resilient, flexible and independent energy system.
Our commitments
How we do things matters just as much as the result.
Keep it simple
Energy can be complex. Our role is to make it clear and easy to manage.
Think right
A sound solution begins with understanding the building, its usage and its needs before discussing equipment.
Stay close
Behind every project are people. We champion accessible, human and local support.
Build to last
We design our solutions for the long term: from planning and installation through to monitoring and their capacity to adapt.

An energy partner across all of Switzerland.
From detached houses to multi-occupancy buildings and commercial sites, Younergy supports projects of all sizes across Switzerland. This widespread presence enables us to combine national expertise with an understanding of local requirements.
