Voltfang combines multiple batteries from electric vehicles into energy storage systems, providing innovative and sustainable electricity management in commercial buildings. A pilot project featuring a 200 kWh large-scale energy storage system from Voltfang, including energy management systems and a high-performance inverter, marks the beginning of the partnership between Voltfang and Goldbeck. This project offers an integrated solution that incorporates solar panels and heat pumps.
In the Nuremberg metropolitan region, Goldbeck is constructing a 9,000-square-meter logistics hall and office space for the sporting goods manufacturer Teveo. Voltfang is equipping the facility with a sustainable energy concept. The installation includes a 749 kWp photovoltaic system and 16 charging stations for electric vehicles. The goal is to determine the optimal sizes of storage systems for Goldbeck’s various building types. Based on this, future projects with commercial storage solutions will be effectively scaled. In this initial project, there is potential to increase the battery storage capacity to up to 700 kWh.
“My father had the vision of systematizing construction and doing things differently when he founded Goldbeck. Pioneer spirit and a drive for innovation define us: we design, build, and operate forward-thinking buildings. That’s why we rely on smart solutions such as energy-optimized building envelopes, efficient building technology, and renewable energy. Together with Voltfang, we aim to make the energy management of buildings even more efficient and independent from power providers. Customers will have the ability to more precisely manage the green energy consumption of their properties using their own battery storage systems.”
Given the ambitious climate goals of the German government in the building and real estate sector, and the suboptimal energy efficiency of existing structures, rapid solutions are needed that can help scale the decarbonization of the building sector in the near future. Voltfang and Goldbeck are actively committed to driving positive change in energy supply and security. The combination of large energy storage systems with solar panels and heat pumps is the ideal approach to make the building sector future-ready quickly.
“The cooperation with Goldbeck is good news for Voltfang and an important step towards the future of circular building operations. We are looking forward to integrating our storage solution into Goldbeck buildings. It is an exciting project that continues to define the future of energy supply,” says Roman Alberti, founder and managing director of Voltfang. In April 2023, Aurum Impact invested in Voltfang. Aurum Impact is an impact investing company and part of the Goldbeck Family Office. Aurum Impact invests in innovative startups and funds that address environmental and social challenges. Other investors include Proptech1, AENU, and private investors such as Max Viessmann.
