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 slowing expansion are available areas, installation hours, grid connections and permits. Every additional watt per module means more installed capacity per installation step, transport, square metre and grid connection point.

Winter electricity is decisive

Alpine and highland plants generate electricity precisely when the Swiss Plateau is under fog. This requires modules, frames and substructures that can withstand snow, hail and temperature fluctuations over the long term. That is exactly what AB NETCOM is working on.

Large format and Balance of System

More power per module. Fewer modules in the field.

Calculation example for 20 MWp DC rated capacity: The higher the module output, the fewer modules are required for the same plant capacity – without taking project-specific design reserves into account.

Fewer modules mean fewer clamping points, connectors, cable runs, and logistics and installation steps. The actual effect on system balance-of-system costs is calculated on a project-by-project basis; this does not constitute a blanket cost commitment.

System project and testing pathway

Planned testing pathway with SPF Testing at the Institute for Solar Technology at OST

Four test steps for the system assembly comprising the module, Hyperframe and mounting materials. Target schedule: end of 2026 / beginning of 2027. Collaboration only after a separate agreement; no testing has taken place to date.

System project and testing pathway

  1. Hail test

    Target class HW 5.

  2. Mechanical load test

    With the specified mounting materials.

  3. Snow load and temperature cycling test

    Sustained load under cold conditions, uneven load distribution.

  4. Functional testing and documentation

    Electrical safety after loading, test report for project partners.

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.
Andreas Breig · Founder, AB NETCOM

Company

Technology became a passion. Passion became a business area.

AB NETCOM A. Breig was founded in 1996. Since 2022, the focus has been on photovoltaics, storage, procurement and project preparation; in 2026, this was followed by the official distributorship for Risen Energy and the GRP Hyperframe system project.

  • 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, potential delivery windows and commercial prerequisites.

  • Coordinated interfaces

    Early involvement of suitable planning, EPC, installation and specialist partners – one German-speaking contact.
