About SolidWatts
The team electrifying industrial process heat, engineered in Switzerland.
Our mission
Replace combustion with controllable electric heat
Our mission is to bring industrial process heating into the 21st century with a highly efficient, virtually limitless, and clean alternative to gas and other fossil fuels.
Understanding that the electrification of industry plays a vital role in carbon reductions, and motivated by the climate crisis, SolidWatts is a team of passionate entrepreneurs and engineers seeking to make a difference.
Designed & manufactured in Switzerland
Swiss engineering, built for industry
As a Swiss deep tech company, we design and manufacture our solid-state RF heating systems in Switzerland to exacting standards. We are based in Lausanne, and four of our team previously served at CERN.
SolidWatts is a CERN Technology Partner and CERN Spin-off. We regularly exchange experience, knowledge and ideas with the CERN team, which operates the world's largest Solid State Power Amplifier installation.
The team
With a clear and focused mission, and high but realistic expectations, we strive for superior quality. Knowing people are our lifeline, we commit to interact with dignity, respect and honesty in the pursuit of excellence.
