As of 2021, new regulations in Germany require all new homes to be designed as very low-energy buildings. Founded by Zeyad Abul-Ella and Henrik Colell in 2014, the Berlin-based company Home Power Solutions (HPS) provides off-grid power supply solutions to help new homeowners meet this requirement and transition to clean renewable energy.
To reap the full benefits of renewables, we must store some of the energy when it is generated and use it in peak demand. One way to do this is with stationary energy storage in the form of batteries.
