PRIVATE INVESTORS GRANT ONE MILLION EUROS

VoltStorage raises further capital in record time to grow its series production

Mainz/Munich, 15 October 2019 – VoltStorage GmbH has collected one million euros through the online platform for sustainable investments WIWIN—in a record time of only ten days. The Munich-based company VoltStorage develops and produces innovative battery storage systems for private households based on Vanadium Redox Flow (VRF) technology. Thereby VoltStorage is demonstrating an ecological alternative to conventional lithium-based storage technologies. More than 250 private investors participated in the crowd investing campaign via WIWIN.

The target for the funding of the campaign was originally set at 700,000 euros but was significantly exceeded within just a few days. WIWIN and VoltStorage have therefore agreed at short notice to increase the target to one million euros in order to give other interested investors the opportunity to participate. WIWIN founder Matthias Willenbacher is pleased about the great interest of the investors: „VoltStorage is one of the most innovative greentech companies in Germany, pursuing an extremely exciting approach in a key technology of the energy system transformation. Energy storage systems are essential to enable a 100% renewable power supply. The investors have understood this—and with their investment they are making a clear call for more sustainability and climate protection. “VoltStorage CEO Jakob Bitner wants to primarily invest the new capital raised via WIWIN in growing the series production of the solar power storage system VoltStorage SMART: „We are very pleased about the success of the crowd funding campaign. The great commitment of private investors confirms what we have heard in numerous discussions with customers and trade partners: There is a high—and constantly increasing—demand for an ecological and resource-friendly alternative to power storage. With our VRF battery storage systems, we can fulfil these needs and introduce new technology to the market.”

Jakob Bitner and his team of founders are already planning the next steps to drive VoltStorage’s growth beyond the crowd funding campaign: „We are currently engaged in promising negotiations with institutional investors who want to support our growth strategy in the long term,“ states the CEO.
