In my professional career, I’ve always been dedicated to creating solutions and businesses that would support mobility solutions and a sustainable future. That’s why I chose my latest challenge: building up Zeitstrom and fully release building developers, owners and operators from the complexity of alternative energy supply in buildings and energy supply of electrical vehicles.The inspiration comes from the recent challenge of real estate developers and owners: how to provide buildings and electrical vehicle users with electricity, without having the hustle to finance, organize or operate the infrastructures.With a group of experts and practitioners, we came up with a complete solution: from installing photovoltaic panels, through clever energy distribution within the building, state-of-the-art solutions for energy storage, to partnerships with regular energy suppliers and setting up charging stations for vehicles. And as a cherry on the cake, we release them from all financial topics.We already see how the solution is being appreciated by the market and recognize the potential for its further expansion.
