German solar firm Energiehaus Blechinger shuts down after failed rescue bids
Energiehaus Blechinger GmbH, a specialist in photovoltaic system sales and installation, will close its doors in March 2025. The company filed for preliminary insolvency in November 2024 after failing to secure new investment. Despite efforts to find a buyer, no binding offers were made to keep the business running.
The Local Court of Kempten appointed Dr. Christian Graf von Bernstorff as insolvency administrator on December 20, 2024. The official notice, published in the Bundesanzeiger three days later, confirmed the liquidation process (file reference 37 IN 537/24). Justus von Buchwaldt of BBL also supports the administration.
Since the insolvency filing, employees have worked to complete around 60 outstanding contracts over the past three months. A core team of 40 staff will remain until the end of March to finish near-completion projects. The company, which generated €22.9 million in revenue in 2023, had employed 81 people—all of whom received insolvency payments through January 2025. Attempts to attract investors proved unsuccessful. With no takeover offers materialising, the company will enter full liquidation once all remaining projects are delivered.
The closure marks the end of Energiehaus Blechinger’s operations after years in the solar energy sector. All remaining contracts will be fulfilled by the end of March, and the company will then dissolve. Employees have already received insolvency compensation as part of the winding-down process.
