Circular economy in action
A second life for energy
Our energy storage systems give batteries from electromobility a second life. Through reuse, we lower the demand for new raw materials, reduce CO₂ emissions and create products that make it possible to use energy more efficiently and in a more environmentally friendly way.
Your next battery
has a story
Imagine a high-performance athlete ends their career in professional sports. They might no longer be fast enough for the world elite, but they are still fitter and have more stamina than average. It's the same in the world of electromobility: Batteries from electric vehicles are replaced after a few years, even though they still have an enormous capacity of 80%.
This is where our second-life batteries come into play. Instead of wasting valuable resources, we give these powerhouses a new, meaningful purpose – as stationary battery storage in your home.
Self-consumption optimization for PV systems
Why give away solar power when you can use it yourself?
Get more out of your own energy right away. Without storage, a building often only uses about 30% of its own PV production – the rest is fed into the grid at low tariffs. With a well-dimensioned storage system, you can use over 70% of your solar power yourself.
E-Mobility & Load Management
The foundation for any EV infrastructure. Our dynamic load management prevents expensive peak loads, protects the grid connection, and ensures (if desired) solar-optimized charging.
RCP & vRCP Communities
Energy communities made easy. modual ensures precise measurement, control and data-based billing for ZEV (association for self-consumption) and VZEV (virtual ZEV) – fair, transparent and compliant with the law.
Your contribution to the circular economy
By using a battery storage system, you generally reduce your ecological footprint. By purchasing a Second Life battery storage system, you additionally reduce CO2 emissions during storage production, prevent the mining of new raw materials, and give society time to build up our recycling capacities.
CO2
The battery cells account for about 80% of the CO2 emissions of a battery storage system. By reusing already produced battery cells, modular storage solutions have an ecological footprint that is about 60% lower than that of new storage.
Extract new raw materials
For our home storage systems, we exclusively use LFP battery cells. Depending on the original cell manufacturer and supply chain, there are differences. But as a guideline, about 95 kg of raw materials need to be mined to produce 1 kWh of battery cells. Therefore, several tons of raw materials are behind each battery storage system.
Recycling capacities
Humanity has the know-how to reclaim nearly 100% of the raw materials in a battery. Unfortunately, newly mined raw materials are often still cheaper than those from a recycling process. For this reason, there are only limited capacities, and humanity struggles to build additional ones. In 2024, for example, Europe would only have been able to recycle about 10 percent of the electric vehicle batteries that will return to the market in 2030.
