Problem
Managing and billing energy consumption in multi-party settings, such as multi-family homes or commercial buildings with shared photovoltaic systems, is complex and often lacks transparency. Traditional methods require manual meter readings and calculations, leading to inaccuracies and disputes among residents or tenants regarding energy costs.
Solution
Blockstrom provides a comprehensive energy data platform that automates the measurement, visualization, and billing of energy consumption for shared energy systems. The platform uses smart meters to collect real-time data on electricity, water, and heat consumption, and transmits this data to a secure cloud portal. Residents and property managers can access the portal to monitor energy usage, view billing reports, and optimize consumption patterns. Blockstrom also offers project management and consulting services to facilitate the installation and operation of Zusammenschluss zum Eigenverbrauch (ZEV), which allows for the collective on-site consumption of self-generated solar power in multi-family buildings. Furthermore, Blockstrom provides solutions for managing and billing electric vehicle charging, optimizing energy consumption, and managing shared laundry facilities.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes property managers, homeowners associations, and building owners who need to accurately measure and bill energy consumption in multi-tenant buildings or shared energy systems, as well as project developers, construction companies and planners.
