Is there a way or best practise store the factory somewhere?
Or when is it psooible to get the FaceletFactory?
thank you,

No. The only time stuff like that exists is when it's usable. A "pure" FacesContext doesn't exist, and likely the same can be said about the FaceletFactory.
A bigger concern, however, is that a good unit test shouldn't require any of the UI subsystem components to begin with. The unit tests should be more about exercising business logic, and business logic should be discrete from presentation logic.
You can, of course "unit test" presentation as well, using tools such as Cactus or JMeter, but they make legitimate web requests, and thus should be routing through the normal FaceServlet and filter environments, which means that the appropriate data structures will have been constructed when they were needed.
Facelets is mostly about framing content, however, and unless you're creating entire page layouts on the fly, I wouldn't generally recommend using the FaceletFactory, but rather stick to static facelet component tags. I'm having trouble finding the JavaDocs on that stuff anyway.
