Problem: We are addressing the significant issue of energy inefficiency and waste in both residential heating and renewable energy usage. Currently, many households generate their own energy through solar panels, but up to 75% of this energy can be lost due to overloaded power grids. Simultaneously, as we transition from fossil fuels, old oil tanks are discarded, contributing to environmental waste. 

 

Solution: Our solution to this problem is to repurpose old oil tanks into intelligent seasonal heat storage systems. By transforming these tanks, we provide households with a way to efficiently store surplus energy from the grid or their own solar panels. This innovative approach reduces energy waste, lowers heating costs by at least 500€/year, and enhances energy self-sufficiency. Our smart control system optimizes energy usage, integrating seamlessly with existing home energy systems. This not only minimizes environmental impact but also supports a sustainable, cost-effective lifestyle for homeowners.

 

USP: Our unique selling proposition (USP) lies in our ability to transform existing oil tanks into intelligent seasonal heat storage systems, combining sustainability, cost-efficiency, and ease of integration. Unlike traditional solutions that require complete replacements and generate waste, our approach reuses existing infrastructure, reducing installation costs and environmental impact. With our advanced smart control system, we offer homeowners significant savings on heating costs and increased energy self-sufficiency. This innovative solution provides the most efficient and eco-friendly way to repurpose an often-overlooked resource, setting us apart in the market.
