Wattando: Revolutionizing Decentralized Energy Supply
editWattando, an innovative start-up from Dresden, aims to make decentralized energy supply accessible and simple for every household. Founded by Boris Klebensberger, former COO of Solarworld AG, and Stefan Ulfert, an experienced digital product and marketing strategist, Wattando focuses on the development of intelligent energy management systems.
Key Products and Services
editThe heart of Wattando is the energy management system Wattster. This innovative IoT system allows solar systems and battery storage to be connected to the home network without invasive interventions in the existing electrical installation. Wattster uses existing power lines to process generated or stored electricity with a power range of 1 kW to 70 kW, which is far beyond conventional plug-in solar devices[3][4].
Main Mission and Values
editWattando's mission is to drive the energy transition by democratizing decentralized energy supply. The company aims to provide all households, including tenants, access to self-consumption solutions with photovoltaics and storage. Wattando's values are based on the principles of decarbonization, decentralization, digitalization, and democratization to make the energy transition simpler and more accessible[2].
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
editWattando is committed to overcoming the barriers to a broad energy transition, particularly the shortage of skilled workers and the time-consuming installations of traditional PV systems. By enabling the simple and quick integration of solar systems and storage into existing home networks, Wattando significantly reduces the necessary labor and construction interventions. This allows more people than ever to benefit from the advantages of decentralized energy, thus contributing to the acceleration of the energy transition[3][4].
Partnerships and Engagements
editWattando works closely with professional installation companies and is part of the de:hub network, the digital ecosystem for start-ups of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, as well as the TELEKOM TECH BOOST startup program of Deutsche Telekom. The company is also an alumnus of SpinLab - The HHL Accelerator and regularly participates in important industry events such as Intersolar and the East German Energy Forum[2][4].
Through its innovative solutions and commitment to sustainable and decentralized energy supply, Wattando makes a significant contribution to the future of energy and makes the energy transition accessible and simple for every household.
