They come often with investments of approx. 30'000 EUR for an air-water and up to 60'000 EUR for a ground source installation. ๐๐ผ๐๐ป ๐๐ผ ๐ณ Integrating and aligning solar production with consumption on a local level with a home energy management system has already impact reducing payback times to 8 and with storage even to 7 years according to the study ( Kapacity.io ) ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐ณ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐๐ป ๐๐ผ ๐ Additional integration with dynamic tariffs and leverage of the capacity on flexibility for power system balancing can reduce payback times even further when integrated into appealing business models for consumers. Depending on the country and the setup this can be significant ( beebop.ai ) Challenges remain the upfront investment and the allocation of risk, which can be overcome by e.g. financing models or innovative offerings ( Enpal, Octopus Energy ) Which opportunities do you see?

Super interesting! I see so many cool opportunities in the EV charging space as we have discussed before. Hope to catch up in the next months. We have very exciting progression on our side Sandra Trittin ๐
