What we offer

The envisioned fully automised technology platform will offer three services. Firstly, an attractive financing scheme ensuring that a kWh of solar energy costs the same or less than a kWh from the grid. Secondly, a digitized project planning solution incorporating local and regional energy service providers to resolve bureaucratic hurdles. Thirdly, optimization of installed capacity by pooling it in a virtual power plant, thereby enabling services to the grid.

Target group

- Banks for financing
- Energy service providers for installation of solar PVs
- Residential (single homeowners) customers in a first step and industrial customers in growth phase

Challenges

- Find a co-founder
- Build an initial team
- Find cooperation partners for financing (i.e. banks)
- Validate customer hypothesis
- Build beta version

Our Story

I did my Master's in Sustainable Business and wrote my Thesis in collaboration with one of the biggest 5 energy producers on Switzerland conducting a case study on a smart grid technology developed in-house. The outcome was that for the smart grid technology to make sense, decentralised energy resources would need to be installed at scale. However, barriers to diffusion of these resources are primarily the cost and effort for installing. Hence it was reasoned that innovative financing schemes would be needed to scale up deployment. This is critical to reduce emissions from electricity production significantly to help alleviate climate change.
