Our core beliefs
Rooftop Solar-PV can substantially lower energy cost for businesses
​
Large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) located on-site generate phenomenal value through energy trading, ancillary services and local optimization
​
The combination of PV + BESS is the true champion, maximizing savings for businesses
​
Investment cost and effort to install and operate these systems is high and frankly
quite complicated
​
Companies should focus their money and attention on their core business and not
on energy optimization
CO-POWER reduces companies' energy costs through on-site solar PV and battery storage
-
CO-POWER plans, finances, builds, owns, and operates on-site PV solar systems and battery storage solutions for commercial and industrial customers.
-
Customers have zero effort and own investment - they simply benefit from lower energy cost.
-
Locally generated PV power can be used on-site and is typically over 30% cheaper (as network charges, for example, are eliminated).
-
Battery storage is used both for local optimization (such as peak shaving or self-consumption optimization) and for energy trading.
-
Customers benefit from affordable PV power and free battery storage services.
CO-POWER's
"Full Service PV + BESS"
Basic concept
Offer details
CO-POWER installs and operates PV and battery energy storage systems (BESS) on-site at customers
​
​​
No investment necessary – CO-POWER fully finances the systems
​
​
Customers benefit from affordable and green solar energy (>30% savings)
​
​
Large-scale BESS is used for multiple use cases, thereby further lowering energy cost for customers
​
1. PPA ("Power Purchase Agreement")
Solar PV
BESS 1
(Behind-the-Meter)
Customers purchase solar energy from CO-POWER through PPA "Power Purchase Agreement" (typically >30% savings as grid fees etc. are avoided)
CO-POWER uses BESS 1 to increase usable solar energy and provides energy to customers at same PPA price
2. Peak Shaving
CO-POWER also uses BESS 1 for peakshaving, which is provided for free to the customer

3. Trading and Ancillary Services
CO-POWER uses BESS 2 to participate in energy trading and ancillary services. This allows CO-POWER to offer benefits of BESS 1 for free to customers in most cases.
BESS 2
(Front-of-the-Meter)
​Typical savings for customers ~50%
Alternative offer: "Full Service BESS"
BESS Multi-Use-Case
CO-POWER uses BESS 2 to participate in energy trading and ancillary services. This allows CO-POWER to offer benefits of BESS 1 for free to customers in most cases.
Customers can also receive a share of BESS 2 revenues, if benefits from BESS 1 are not sufficient.

BESS 1
(Behind-the-Meter)
If customer already has rooftop solar: CO-POWER uses BESS 1 for free self-consumption optimization and free peak shaving.
If customer does not have or want rooftop solar: CO-POWER uses BESS 1 for free peak shaving.
~50% lower energy cost from day-1
Positive cashflow through roof lease and battery revenue participation
Energy cost certainty and higher autarky
Zero own investment
