At 1KOMMA5 we pursue a clear vision: Living on wind and sunlight forever for free. To make this a reality we are building the energy system of the future with Heartbeat AI. Want to be part of it

We bring together regional craftsmanship and scalable software: We dont think of solar batteries heat pumps and e-mobility as isolated components but control them as an intelligent integrated overall system in our virtual power plant. Directly connected to the electricity market in real time fully automated. This way energy is used when it is available from renewables and particularly cost-effective. By 2030 our goal is to transition 1.5 million households to renewable energies. Over 3000 people are working towards this every day at more than 80 locations worldwide from Finland to Australia.

Want to take responsibility and build solutions that truly matter Apply now and help us shape the energy world of tomorrow.
