Residential PV installer Enersol, a unit of Germany-based battery manufacturer Sonnen, will cease operations on Oct. 31, a company spokesperson told pv magazine.
Enersol is based in Sachsenheim, Baden-Württemberg, and has currently around 120 employees. Sonnen took over Enersol in 2019. It grew strongly during the boom phase between 2022 and 2023, when demand for residential PV systems rose sharply in Germany. However, the market has now slowed down.
“The collapse in demand meant that the structures Enersol had built up no longer allowed profitable operations,” the Sonnen spokesperson said.
However, he also noted that demand for private rooftop PV systems is far from saturated and Sonnen expects the market to grow again in the future.
“Investments in photovoltaic systems are particularly worthwhile right now,” the spokesperson said. “The prices for photovoltaic components have fallen significantly in the recent past and there are no difficulties with deliveries or installation capacities. While end customers sometimes had to wait up to a year for their systems to be installed last year, it is now possible to complete the system within a few weeks.”

The spokesman said that Sonnen will continue to provide service and maintenance for systems that have already been installed.
“Photovoltaic systems that have already been ordered will also be installed by Enersol until the end of October, provided the customers do not withdraw from their contracts,” he added.
