Solar-Autarker (Schweiz) — Flühlistrasse 19, 6170 Schüpfheim, Switzerland

Top-notch system!! We've owned a new solar system with an inverter and charging booster for two weeks now. We tested it intensively for a week, and we're very satisfied. The extensive advice from the owner of Solar Autarker convinced us, and we ordered the system according to the quote. The work was carried out very cleanly, and we were always kept informed about the progress. We would like to thank Thomas Strahm for the excellent advice and the clean installation. Thomas Strahm also took his time with the instructions and answered all our questions thoroughly. We will recommend Solar Autarker at any time.

I had a few things installed by Solar-Autarker: Teltonika 20CAT LTE router, 5G LTE antenna, alphatronics 22-inch TV, Liontron HighCurrent lithium starter battery, 2x 150Ah SuperB lithium auxiliary batteries, 3x 165Wp solar panels, various Victron devices (MPPT charge controller, charger, charge booster, power distribution bank), USB-C/A charging sockets. This was always preceded by comprehensive consultation with Thomas Strahm, the owner of Solar-Autarker. Thomas always took plenty of time, inspected the camper to understand what was possible, what was necessary, what could be installed where and how, etc. As soon as I got home, detailed quotes arrived. So: accept, set a date, install, and enjoy. As for the installation, it couldn't be done better. Everything is neatly laid out, wired (of course always with the right cables, meaning they're strong enough), and labeled. Simply top-notch. Further installations (e.g., jack stands) will unfortunately be difficult/impossible, because a trip to the scales with the camper loaded and ready to go showed that I'd have to put it on a diet. But one thing is clear to me: if there's any way to optimize the weight, then I'll be back to solar-autonomous vehicles. Thomas, I'm always happy to come to you in Schüpfheim. Thank you.

At the beginning of the year, we decided to upgrade our Pilote motorhome and install a more powerful solar system. After extensive online research, I came across the company Solar-Autarker in Schüpfheim. They were highly recommended and had only excellent reviews. I contacted the owner, Thomas Strahm, and we scheduled a consultation. During this detailed discussion, during which I, a complete novice, received excellent advice, we decided to have four 150-watt solar panels installed on the roof and a 480 Ah lithium battery installed under the passenger seat. A little later, a Maxxfan and a Clesana C1 toilet were added to the bathroom. When we picked up the vehicle from Solar-Autarker on time, Thomas patiently explained all the work and installed equipment to us, and we noticed that all the work had been carried out very cleanly, with no tangled cables and no visible cable ducts. During the subsequent two-week test drive, everything worked perfectly and to our complete satisfaction. We would like to express our sincere gratitude for this. For the professional consultation and his work, we give Thomas Strahm a 6-star review and an unconditional recommendation.

We would like to share our experience with Mr. Strahm of Solar-Autarker (Switzerland). After contacting him by phone, we set off from Basel-Landschaft one Saturday morning for a consultation. We had an idea of what we might want or need, and in a very detailed discussion, various options were evaluated. It wasn't just about what made sense in theory, but also what was practically feasible given the available space in and on our motorhome. Mr. Strahm openly presented all the advantages and disadvantages. We made our decision the following week and scheduled an appointment for the installation. The work was carried out perfectly, cleanly, and on schedule. Mr. Strahm also took a lot of time to explain everything in detail. In a very short time, our camping habits have completely changed. Our previous attitude of "we have to find shore power somewhere" has now become "no power? No problem! It's beautiful here, we'll stay here." The investment was therefore entirely justified. When the inverter developed a fault, it was replaced without any fuss – so there's absolutely nothing to complain about regarding support and customer service – we were even provided with a loaner car for the duration of the repair. Anyone considering traveling more independently should take the plunge and get advice from Mr. Strahm. Our next step is installing the Clesana system, after which the question "where's the nearest waste disposal station?" will be a thing of the past. Thank you, Mr. Strahm, and thank you, Solar-Autarker (Switzerland).

Since my 120-watt solar panel wasn't enough for living in my camper, I turned to Thomas Strahm, a solar-powered self-sufficient expert. He assessed the existing technology and then advised me in detail on my needs and expansion options. I received a quote promptly, and after scheduling a quick and uncomplicated appointment, I handed my camper over to the solar expert. After a few days of conversion, I was able to pick up my camper. I'm now equipped with three 150-watt solar panels, a charge controller, a charging booster, a 100-amp lithium battery, an inverter and its control panel, etc. I'm extremely satisfied with the result and the current (solar) performance. I'd be happy to do it again anytime. 👍

Dear Thomas Strahm, What a stroke of luck that I discovered you and your solar self-sufficiency experts! You recognized the problems I was having with the previous product and then very competently introduced me to a good alternative (very thorough and professional advice, including all the advantages and disadvantages (if there are any ;-) of the product). Thanks to you, I was able to have the Maxview Roam Mobile 4G WiFi Set installed. Thomas Strahm also gave me many tips and tricks beyond the scope of the actual job – which is definitely not something you can take for granted. I also appreciated your consistently prompt responses to inquiries. During the installation itself, I always received updates and information on the progress. I can wholeheartedly recommend this company – and especially Thomas Strahm. Should I have any further needs for my motorhome, Thomas Strahm will be my first choice. I wish you continued success and good health. Warm regards from Bonstetten, Peter E.
