SolarEdge Technologies, Inc., a leader in solar and smart energy solutions, has entered into a strategic partnership with AMPEERS ENERGY. This German software startup specializes in decarbonizing residential complexes. The alliance aims to deliver an innovative photovoltaic tenant electricity solution to the German and Austrian markets.
A holistic approach to decarbonization
The collaboration seeks to equip real estate firms with a toolkit for achieving climate-neutral buildings. The comprehensive package includes solar and storage generation, tenant electricity billing, EV charging, and novel heating technologies. By combining SolarEdge’s solar technology, known for its safety, optimized energy yield, and design flexibility, with AMPEERS’ platform, the initiative is set to simplify the installation and management of solar solutions in multi-dwelling units. This partnership is a response to the legislative shifts in Germany regarding tenant electricity models, presenting a significant opportunity to cater to Europe’s densely populated residential market.
Executive insights
Zvi Lando, CEO of SolarEdge Technologies, highlighted the significant potential for solar energy in multi-dwelling buildings in Germany. “More than half of the population in Germany live in multi-dwelling apartment buildings… Until recently this meant they had less access to clean solar energy,” Lando stated. He emphasized that this collaboration aims to enhance the availability of decarbonization benefits and solar energy to a broader audience.
Dr. Karsten Schmidt, CEO and co-founder of AMPEERS ENERGY, echoed the sentiment, underscoring the synergy between SolarEdge’s renewable energy technologies and AMPEERS’ platform. “This collaboration is centered around a holistic approach that combines technology, software, and services,” Schmidt noted. He expressed a commitment to providing a scalable PV tenant electricity solution that aligns with an overarching carbon strategy, facilitating a swift and cost-effective transition for housing companies towards a climate-positive energy supply.
The strategic investment by SolarEdge in AMPEERS ENERGY not only signifies a major step forward in the decarbonization of multi-dwelling buildings but also marks a pivotal moment for renewable energy access across Europe, promising a more sustainable future for residential energy consumption.
