1KOMMA5°

1KOMMA5° builds Heartbeat, an energy software platform that networks household photovoltaic systems, battery storage, heat pumps and EV charging stations into a virtual power plant. By aggregating these distributed assets and connecting them to electricity markets, the platform is designed to increase the profitability of customer installations and to secure the cheapest and cleanest available tariff. The company describes Heartbeat as Europe's leading energy software platform, with electricity-market connectivity intended for customers worldwide.

The technology division continuously develops and expands Heartbeat. Core technical domains include virtual power plant orchestration, smart-grid and energy-market connectivity, IoT device integration across four asset categories (PV, storage, heat pumps, chargers) and energy tariff optimisation. The commercial ambition is to connect distributed residential assets to the electricity market at scale, turning individually installed hardware into a dispatchable portfolio.

Alongside the software business, 1KOMMA5° operates a one-stop shop for the purchase and installation of individual intelligent energy system solutions, covering photovoltaics, storage, heating and e-mobility for residential customers across Europe. The company frames its work around the goal of enabling climate-neutral living, heating and mobility, and combines a technology and software division with an installation and retail business.
