Converting energy obtained from the light of the sun into mains-compliant alternating current – in 1991 this idea formed the basis for the foundation of the company by three ambitious young engineers. Today it ranges amongst the worldwide leading manufacturers of grid-connected solar inverters and matching solutions for system monitoring.

The products of the SolarMax brand are suitable for any field of application, from photovoltaic systems in single-family homes up to solar power plants in the megawatts range. They are characterized by Swiss Quality: highest efficiency, operational reliability, and durability, complemented by extraordinary after sales support.

Establishing a sustainable customer relationship, sustainable growth, and a trustful employee relationship, while rigorously advocating Swiss Quality, are the key tennents of the company’s strategy at SolarMax. This is complemented by a commitment to sustainability: solar energy is inexhaustible and produces neither waste nor noise or exhaust gases.

From an economic, ecologic, and social point of view, SolarMax considers itself a sustainable company.

• Our aim is to stay an equity-financed company and to further expand our position in the international solar market.

Vision

We make a decisive contribution to the advancement of photovoltaics, combining advantages for the customer and environmental protection. With our SolarMax brand we have become one of the leading manufacturers of highquality inverter solutions. Our customers choose our products because they trust our long-standing experience and our Swiss Quality. We are also leading in after-sales services. Each time customers contact us, they experience our open and customer-oriented corporate culture. We attach enormous importance to long-term and trusting cooperation with our partners. We are and will remain a financially independent company.

A focus on technical excellence and considerable experience enable SolarMax to produce high-quality products. Our strength is our flexibility and pragmatic approach, which allows us to offer our customers both quality and safety.

Every single SolarMax inverter is produced at the headquarters in Switzerland (Biel) and is thoroughly tested upon completion, including, amongst others a test at full load lasting several hours. This way, we can guarantee that every device satisfies the requirements regarding Swiss quality work.

Our inverters comply with the statutory provisions and standards, and extendable 25-year service agreements guarantee carefree ownership for years to come.

Our stringent commitment to Swiss Quality is also reflected in our accomplishments in the fields of environmental protection and occupational health and safety. The Swiss Association for Quality and Management Systems (SQS) annually audits and certifies our processes regarding quality management (ISO 9001), environmental management (ISO 14001) as well as occupational health and safety and health protection (OHSAS 18001 directive).

In 2013, SolarMax launched into the United States market and opened an office in Atlanta, Georgia due to its highly skilled workforce and proximity to universities specializing in power engineering and additional technical programs.

The Atlanta office will allow SolarMax to deliver its industry-leading, Swiss-quality PV inverter product portfolio, including string and central inverters that reliably and efficiently convert direct current into mains-compliant alternating current.
