The world's first year-round electricity storage system for buildings, picea, is part of theCO2-neutral"Viebrockhaus SmartCity" development in Harsefeld, Lower Saxony. HPS Home Power Solutions AG (HPS), manufacturer of picea, and the project partners involved are pursuing the common goal of creating an innovative and environmentally friendly residential complex and driving forward the energy transition with the model project, which was first presented at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow in 2021.
picea enables tomorrow's standard in new buildings today. The year-round electricity storage system, which stores the surplus energy generated by a photovoltaic system on sunny days as green hydrogen, is the 'dream team' of the energy transition when combined with a heat pump and a PV system: This enables a year-roundCO2-free supply of electricity and heat using solar energy from your own roof.
