Company
VoltStorage
The VoltStorage success story began in 2016 as a Munich-based startup with the vision of making clean and affordable energy accessible around the clock. Since then, we have been working continuously to give our customers the opportunity to take their energy supply into their own hands and drive the energy transition forward.
Our storage solutions are as environmentally friendly as the energy they store. We focus on a sustainable alternative in contrast to conventional storage technologies and develop and produce stationary storage systems based on redox flow technology. The result is revolutionary: green, durable and safe batteries for a wide range of applications.Today, with our storage systems, we are the technological innovation leader for stationary batteries based on redox flow technology.

Headline für Energiespeicherung und Branchen
Be innovative
The future is being invented today. That is why innovation is deeply anchored in our DNA. We want to develop innovative and practicable storage solutions that make renewable energies usable around the clock and thus make a decisive contribution to the energy transition. With our research and development work, we not only set new technological standards, but also want to redefine the future of energy storage.
Grüne Batterien

Energy utilities
Designed for use as a long duration energy storage system, the Iron Salt Battery from VoltStorage enables you to bridge supply gaps during periods of low wind and low sun and thus provide the base load using renewable energies.
Be bold
New things are not created by remaining in the status quo. New things are created by trying out new things. It is therefore not only openness to new things that we stand for, but also the courage to try out new approaches, to sound out the possibilities and limits, and to go beyond them. This is how products and solutions are created that define the status quo of tomorrow.
Be responsible
We expect ourselves to use our resources responsibly and to live an environmentally friendly corporate culture. In this way, we want to make our contribution to making the world a little better.
