We – that is Florian, Stephan and Christoph – have spent many years at Graz University of Technology studying renewable energies and the bottom line is: there have long been extremely promising technologies to tackle climate change – but unfortunately, they are still under-utilized in everyday life. The purchase of a solar system consisting of electricity storage, inverter, solar panel, etc. is often very expensive and for city dwellers anyway no option because of the space. For this reason, we decided to start EET and make our own contribution! In December 2016, we completed our activities at the University and dedicated ourselves to our vision. The following May, we founded Efficient Energy Technology GmbH and very quickly acquired many supporters! Our team has now over 15 permanent employees and continues to grow. We see every day – in talks, articles and other reports – that the topic of independent, decentralized energy production is quite relevant for most people. We are happy about that and are in good spirits, that together we can realize a better world. That’s the reason why we designed and developed SolMate. The first solar system for the balcony with light and flexible solar panels and to plug into a power socket. SolMate is a combination of design, independence and innovation. By using our space-saving solar panel in combination with a compact power storage, there is enough room for our solar system, even for a smaller balcony. SolMate can help you to save about 25% of your electricity costs. Because of the integrated power socket you can also use SolMate in case of emergencies or black outs. Together we can make a big contribution to the climate change! What are you waiting for? Become a part of the SolMate family and contact us directly.

WE FUEL INNOVATION IN THE ENERGY BUSINESS There is a revolution going on in the energy business. Utilities depending on yesterday’s business models will be outsmarted by digital utilities that will serve a society in need of smarter energy solutions. With Utilihive we empower utilities to be ready for the future in months instead of years, enabling them to optimize grid operations, embrace the data economy, and to become a platform operator for smart city applications infrastructure. WHY GREENBIRD AND UTILIHIVE? Utilihive is a unique digital integration hub and iPaaS built for utilities. Greenbird believes that utilities powered by Utilihive can transform from traditional grid operators to platform operators that will create more innovative services in the new digital energy markets. They can be in the driver’s seat for driving innovation. Utilihive is built with cloud native technology and ready for the energy revolution. THE SECRET SAUCE Unlike a traditional approach for system integration for utilities, Greenbird offers out-of-the-box system integration for digital utilities. Forget about failing integration projects, hard-to-maintain solutions, and traditional middleware slowing down innovation. Decades of experience from a wide utility client base is built right into Utilihive. Greenbird is a true DevOps company, delivering unique time-to-market and reliability for Utilihive.
