EIGENSONNE GmbH was founded in 2017 with a focus on renewable energy. We have our office in Berlin, but beyond that we also have monthly teams and warehouses in 17 different locations across Germany.

The special incentive at EIGENSONNE: At heart, we are a digitized craft business, but also a tech startup, distribution company, and energy service provider. Our goal is to equip every roof in Europe with an EIGENSONNE system.
