Company · founded in 1996
Technology became a passion. Passion became a business area.
AB NETCOM A. Breig was founded by Andreas Breig in 1996. In 2018/2019, he began an intensive focus on photovoltaics, components, planning and economic viability. He could not let the subject go: personal interest developed into in-depth expertise, which became a professional focus and ultimately an independent business area.
Motivation and expansion target
Net zero is built in terawatt-hours. We deliver the watts per module.
Switzerland has committed to net zero by 2050 under the Climate and Innovation Act. The Electricity Act sets binding targets for this: at least 35 TWh of electricity from new renewable sources by 2035 and 45 TWh by 2050 – excluding hydropower. Germany’s EEG sets targets of 215 GW of photovoltaics by 2030 and 400 GW by 2040.
The bottleneck is not the module price
What is holding back expansion is the availability of space, installation hours, grid connections and permits. Every additional watt per module means more installed capacity per installation step, per transport, per square metre and per grid connection point. Large-format high-power modules are therefore not a niche product, but one of the most effective levers for reaching the target faster with the same resources.
Winter electricity is decisive
The Electricity Act requires at least 6 TWh of additional generation from large hydroelectric, solar and wind plants by 2040 – including 2 TWh that are reliably available in winter. Alpine and highland plants generate electricity precisely when the Swiss Plateau is under fog. This requires modules, frames and mounting structures that can withstand snow, hail and temperature fluctuations over the long term. This is precisely what AB NETCOM works on.
For me, photovoltaics is not just a matter of conviction, but a calculation that adds up – technically, economically and across generations. My goal is for large-scale projects to be built more quickly and safely with the right components.

AB NETCOM · established in 1996
Thirty years of technical expertise, with a focus on photovoltaics and storage since 2022
- 1996Founding of AB NETCOM A. Breig
- 2018/19Entry into photovoltaics, technology and economic viability
- since 2022Focus on photovoltaics, storage, procurement and project preparation
- 2026Official distributor of Risen Energy · GRP Hyperframe system project
What drives us
Energy projects must be technically sound, economically viable and practical to implement. That is why AB NETCOM considers more than just power classes and prices. Site conditions, documentation, installation requirements, supply availability, interfaces and subsequent operation are equally important.
Current role
System, procurement and project partner for photovoltaic, storage and combined system projects – implemented by qualified specialist partners.
What project partners receive
- Technical pre-selection: Modules and storage matched to the site, grid and load profile, yield target, logistics and required documentation
- Procurement basis: Product documentation, power classes, quantities, possible delivery windows and commercial prerequisites
- Coordinated interfaces: early involvement of suitable planning, EPC, installation and specialist partners
- Personal support: a German-speaking contact for the agreed project phases and a structured handover
- Data ownership for storage: Control layer with hosting in Switzerland as an option for operators with heightened requirements
Official distribution
AB NETCOM is the official distributor of Risen Energy for Germany and Switzerland.
Project partners receive a German-speaking contact for product selection, technical documentation, project-specific procurement and coordination with qualified specialist partners – for modules and storage systems from a single source.
Planning, substructure, installation, electrical implementation and commissioning are organised for each project with qualified specialist partners. Roles, responsibilities and contractual relationships are clearly defined for each project.
Our role in the project
Selection
Modules, storage systems and system components technically preselected
Procurement
Quantities, documentation, delivery windows and commercial framework conditions
Coordination
Specialist partners for planning, installation, electrical implementation and storage integration
The aim: not as many individual products as possible, but a coherent project solution – technically suitable, commercially transparent and with clearly defined interfaces.
Projects sought
From the project approach to the next step
AB NETCOM is seeking project developers, EPCs, energy utilities, planners, operators, industrial customers, installation partners and storage integrators in Switzerland and Germany with suitable pilot, reference or follow-on projects for photovoltaics, storage or combined system solutions.
Starting point: the 20-minuteProject check
Site, grid, load profile, yield target and schedule – ultimately, an assessment of whether and how AB NETCOM can contribute to the project. No obligation and no flood of documents.
The project journey
Four steps from the initial discussion to delivery
Project intake
Record the site, target size, schedule, grid or load profile and technical framework conditions.
Preliminary solution assessment
Clarify module and storage options, documentation, quantities, logistics, supply availability and implementation partners.
Document project intent
Following a positive technical and commercial preliminary assessment, assumptions and next steps can be documented in a non-binding expression of interest or Letter of Intent.
Develop the project
Reservation, pre-order or supply agreement will only take place on the basis of a separate written quotation with the scope, market release, availability, price, delivery time and contractual conditions clarified. Thereafter: schedule tracking, delivery support and documentation throughout the project.
What we do not promise
- no blanket cost commitments without a layout, bill of materials and site data
- no yield guarantees without irradiance and shading analysis
- no commitments regarding certificates that are not yet available
Your next step
Arrange a personal 20-minute project check for your photovoltaic, storage or combined system project. Discussions take place by personal appointment.
