Our common mission
2014
A great idea is born.
What is the best technology to store solar power and use it around the clock? Confronted with his father’s question, our CPO & co-founder Michael Peither examined the various storage technologies intensively.
His result: Vanadium Redox Flow technology (VRF) is the best storage technology because it is particularly safe, durable and sustainable. The only obstacle: The production of VRF batteries is very expensive, as there is still no method to manufacture them automatically. A long search for viable solutions begins.
2016
The innovative breakthrough.
Together with our two other co-founders Jakob Bitner and Felix Kiefl, the long-awaited breakthrough arrived after many failed attempts: A fully automated process for a cost-effective production of VRF batteries which was immediately registered for patent.
This technology now makes us the world’s first supplier of home storages relying on the particularly safe, long-lasting and sustainable VRF technology – thus providing a powerful and ecological alternative to conventional lithium storage devices.
2017
Successful market launch
Thanks to a seven-digit investment, we were able to strengthen our team with international experts from the field of VRF research and further optimize our power storage system. This was soon followed by the successful market launch of our VoltStorage home battery system, which is in high demand among homeowners and experts.
This is a major and important step on our path to making renewable energies available around the clock and thus contributing to mitigating climate change.
2018
VoltStorage’s 2nd Generation
This year we are presenting our second storage generation: The VoltStorage SMART. Homeowners now have the opportunity to purchase our safe, long-lasting and ecological storage solution. This is because we believe that more energy independence and more climate protection should remain affordable. We are working on keeping it this way in the future. We promise.
Our founding Team
Jakob Bitner
CEO + Co-Founder
“The energy transition is a great opportunity to make the world a cleaner and fairer place. Storing electricity in order to least partially uncouple production and consumption is an important factor in its success. With VoltStorage we want to make our own contribution to this.”
Michael Peither
CTO & Co-Founder
“With VoltStorage we are reacting to the turned solar industry: Due to lower feed-in tariffs, feeding back to the grid for refinancing the PV system is no longer attractive to homeowners. The alternative: use your self-generated electricity yourself – with safe and economical storage solutions.”
Felix Kiefl
CPO & Co-Founder
“We want to make renewable energies available – everywhere and at any time. Self-sufficiency with solar energy is to become the standard. Our goal with VoltStorage is to make a significant contribution to energy supply from 100 percent renewable sources.”
