EMERAM, an investment manager, has acquired a stake in Switzerland-based Solar Manager AG, a provider of home energy management solutions. The financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.

Founded in 2018, Solar Manager is said to develop a home energy management system (HEMS) designed to optimize energy flows in households. Its platform integrates and manages photovoltaics, battery storage, heat pumps, and electric mobility systems.

Operating on a B2B2C sales model, the company works with wholesalers and their installation partners, offering white-label solutions for large installation companies, municipal utilities, and energy service providers, and is expanding OEM partnerships with manufacturers of battery storage systems and heat pumps to integrate its software directly into hardware solutions.

This acquisition is expected to help the Solar Manager team to further expand its business and strengthen its presence.

“With EMERAM, we have gained an experienced growth partner who supports us with strategic expertise and a strong network in the energy sector. Together, we want to further expand our market position and actively shape the energy transition. Our goal is to become the leading holistic energy management solution in Europe and to play a decisive role in shaping future topics such as bidirectional charging and the seamless integration of a wide variety of generators and consumers into the energy system,” said Andreas Kuhn, Managing Director and co-founder of Solar Manager alongside Corinne Kuhn and Hans Fischer.

EMERAM was advised by Strategy & (commercial due diligence), Base Camp (ESG and technical due diligence), Radial (financial due diligence), and Schellenberg Wittmer (legal and tax advisory). The sellers were advised by Wenger Vieli on legal and tax matters.
