For owners of operating solar parks

Your park already owns the grid. Now make it pay twice.

The connection, the transformer, the land — you paid for them once. We add the battery, handle the DSO and the permit, and turn midday surplus into evening income. You keep your PV. We take the development risk.

01 — What you gain

A second income, not a second project

A battery beside your existing park uses what you already have — and we carry the work that makes it bankable.

More from the same export

Charge on midday surplus, discharge after 18:00 when prices peak. A 20 MWp park capped at 16 MW can carry a 10 MW / 20 MWh battery — without raising your permitted export.

We take the development

We screen your portfolio at our cost, run the DSO enquiry and the planning pre-check, and only proceed where the connection is real. If the grid says no, we stop — before you spend.

You choose how you earn

Your PV stays yours, separately metered. The battery can pay you as rent, a share of revenue, or joint-venture equity — whichever fits your portfolio.

02 — How it pays

Three ways your midday sun becomes evening income

One battery, stacked uses. The optimizer shifts between them — you don't have to lock it to a single market.

Shift the price peak

Sell the same solar kilowatt-hour later. Midday when prices dip, the battery charges; after 18:00, it discharges into higher prices.

Day-aheadIntradayPV shifting

Keep the grid balanced

Short, flexible reserve blocks sit on top of shifting — not instead of it. FCR needs only 30 minutes of energy; aFRR runs in 4-hour slots you can opt in and out of.

Rescue what was curtailed

Energy you once spilled or sold near zero now charges the battery — especially on negative-price days.

Your site already has what a greenfield must buy

That is why a retrofit can move faster and cheaper than a new battery elsewhere.

  • Grid connection & transformer — the scarce asset, already built
  • Land, access, fencing, comms — in place and permitted
  • DSO relationship — an established contact, not a cold call
  • §35(1) Nr. 11 BauGB — battery beside your PV is privileged; usually no new zoning plan

Midday PV charges the battery; evening and night prices discharge it. Reserve markets stack on top.
03 — How we work with you

A clear path. We fund the risky part.

You share your portfolio. We do the checks at our cost and only ask for exclusivity once the numbers look real.

01

Free portfolio check

Send us your park list. In a few days we return the 2–3 best candidates for a battery — no cost, no commitment.

You provide: park list
02

Site & grid check

With your exclusivity on those sites, we run the DSO enquiry and planning pre-check. Our spend, our risk.

If the grid says no, we stop
03

Permit & connection

Building permit and fire/noise concepts only as triggered. We manage the DSO agreement on import, export and control.

Usually no new zoning plan
04

Build & earn

Financed EPC, optimizer tender, separately metered. You choose rent, revenue share or JV — and you see the dispatch.

Is your park retrofit-ready?

Eight pages, no sales deck. What the DSO actually checks, what §35(1) Nr. 11 means for your permit, and how a 20 MWp example pencils out — so you can judge for yourself.

04 — Start here

Send us your park list. We'll do the rest.

Share the basics — location, size, grid level. We reply within two working days with what we'd check next.

What owners usually send:
Location + MWp per park + commissioning year + DSO if known + export limit if known + spare area. Even a partial list is enough.
