THE CENTRAL BUILDING BLOCK OF THE ENERGY TRANSITION
Battery storage - The technology that makes renewable energies reliable. Flexibility becomes stability!
POWER GRIDS AT THE LIMIT!
Electricity generation from renewable energies is volatile: when there is a lot of sun and wind, there are often surpluses, but when it is calm and dark, there is a lack of electricity. These fluctuations put an enormous strain on our electricity grid. Excess electricity already has to be curtailed, which costs billions - a situation that we can no longer afford. According to the Federal Network Agency, curtailment costs amounted to 4.2 billion euros per year.
THE SOLUTION - BATTERY STORAGES
The energy transition is only possible if we can effectively integrate renewable energies and compensate for fluctuations in electricity generation. This is where battery storage systems come into play: they store surplus energy from wind and solar power and release it again when required. This technology ensures stability in an increasingly dynamic electricity grid and makes the energy transition economically viable and sustainable.
They store energy in times of surplus and feed it back into the grid when needed.
They react to grid fluctuations in fractions of a second and thus ensure stability.
They enable greater integration of renewable energies as they compensate for the volatility of wind and solar power.
DECENTRALIZED LARGE-SCALE STORAGE SYSTEMS PROVIDE FLEXIBILITY
For a clean, reliable and economical energy future, we need 20 times more flexible power in the electricity grid. (according to the Federal Network Agency)
STABILIZING THE GRIDS
Storage systems react to unexpected fluctuations in seconds and resolve the imbalance in the grid. This prevents grid overload and the resulting power outages.
GREATER INTEGRATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGIES
Storage systems react to unexpected fluctuations in seconds and resolve the imbalance in the grid. This prevents grid overload and the resulting power outages.
THE REDUCTION OF ELECTRICITY PRICES
Storage systems use trading to smooth electricity surpluses or shortfalls and thus actively avoid price fluctuations and high electricity prices. Energy should be and remain affordable at all times.
THE EFFICIENT USE OF EXISTING GRID INFRASTRUCTURE
The flexible provision and buffering of energy makes it easier to use the existing grid infrastructure and optimizes the amount of investment required to expand the grid in the long term.

BATTERY STORAGE WITH RESPONSIBILITY: QUALITY THAT COUNTS.
Not all batteries are the same, and not all lithium batteries are the same. We have already seen these differences in the home storage market, where price alone is often the deciding factor - a dangerous and irresponsible approach. In a market that is still in its infancy, we are focusing instead on quality, safety and trust. The right supplier is crucial: will they still be on the market in ten years' time? Are the batteries cycle-proof and do they offer long-term reliability? Safety measures are also essential to minimize risks.
As a partner, we not only want to offer storage solutions, but also protect the market by setting the highest standards. Our responsibility does not end with the installation of a battery storage system. We support our partners over the long term and ensure that their investments are protected - in a dynamic market that urgently needs stability.
The expansion of renewable energies is the first important step in our energy transition - with green flexibility, we are now taking the second step. The Federal Network Agency says that we need more flexibility in our electricity grids. However, with our storage systems, we not only provide flexibility, but can also reduce electricity costs for citizens. As a result, we have a 100 times greater impact on the energy transition than, for example, simply building a ground-mounted PV system.
