Why Sunwires

What you will find here

We are small, solidly financed and want to convince with good working conditions, not big words.

  • Short distances

    Our sites are within about 25 kilometres of Magstadt. You reach every site in under an hour and are home in the evening. No installation weeks across Baden-Württemberg.

  • A small, permanent team

    The founders run the company themselves. Your direct contact for everything technical is our master electrician; installation management is with our managing director. Short paths, clear responsibilities.

  • Two weeks of onboarding

    The master electrician and the foreman train you for two weeks. After that you work in a permanent team following our installation manual and established routines.

  • Safety that is enforced

    Personal protective equipment, fall protection, scaffolding only after release and inspection report, a briefing before every site. It is in our risk assessment and it is lived.

  • Training

    Courses with manufacturers and through the guild, above all on storage and energy management. Anyone who wants to develop gets the opportunity.

  • Travel and extras

    Trips in your own car are reimbursed at €0.30 per kilometre; an electric company car is in preparation, and the team drives an electric van to the site. Anyone who recommends good people to us receives a referral bonus.

How we work

Two days per system, one team

Every installation follows our installation manual. Our scaffolding partner puts up the scaffold, then our own teams take over.

  1. Before

    Our partner's scaffolding is up and released; the master electrician has checked the design.

  2. Day 1

    The roofing team fits the mounting structure and modules and routes the cables.

  3. Day 2

    The electrical team installs inverter, storage, backup power and wallbox; then testing and inspection report with the master electrician.

  4. Afterwards

    Handover with the system file. The same people who install also come for service.

Questions

What applicants ask us

Your question is missing? Write to us or call.

Sunwires is new. How secure is my job?

Four shareholders founded Sunwires with their own money, without an investor. We only hire when the order book supports the position, and we grow step by step. That is slower, but reliable.

I have never installed photovoltaics. Is that a problem?

As a roof installer, no: two weeks of onboarding by the master electrician and foreman, then a permanent team. For electrical installation you need completed electrical training; PV experience is an advantage but not a requirement.

Where are the sites?

Within about 25 kilometres of Magstadt: Böblingen, Sindelfingen, Leonberg, Renningen and the towns in between. From autumn 2027 also in the Stuttgart region.

When does it start?

Our master electrician starts in February 2027, the installation teams in March 2027, the office administrator in June 2027. Put your earliest start date in your e-mail; we sort out the rest in the interview.

How does travel work?

The team drives to the site in the electric van. Trips in your own car are reimbursed at €0.30 per kilometre; an electric company car is in preparation.

I work for a company that has given up. Can I get in touch?

Yes, please do. Many solar companies have closed recently, and their skilled workers are looking for a company that stays. Tell us what you have done and from when you are available.

Want to be there from the start?

Two minutes in the form or a short e-mail. We get back to you within three working days.
