June 8, 2026 : Happy Birthday, 3S!

Exactly 25 years ago, on June 8, 2001, the 3S Swiss Solar Solutions AG adventure began. At the time, our founder, Patrick Hofer-Noser, had three things above all else: optimism, enthusiasm, and a vision of a sustainable future.

To celebrate our company anniversary, let's take a look back together. We've compiled some exciting moments from the past quarter-century into a 5-part video series.

In the videos, Patrick explains why he believed in the potential of solar energy as early as 2001, how 3S came to sell more machines than modules, what has changed over the past 25 years, and what his biggest mistake was.

Let the movie begin, and thanks to everyone who's been with us on this journey!
