Experts from EuPD Research, the market research institute from Bonn, tested and rated 152 household energy storage solutions. The rankings according to value for money, service and size have now been published in the magazine Wirtschaftswoche. According to the test, the stationary energy storage units from Daimler are better by far than those of even the most prominent competitors – including Tesla, RWE, and Varta. To be honest, we are not surprised. When it comes to energy storage solutions, none of our competitors can unite the automobile manufacturer’s absolute dedication to quality and exceptional expertise in the high-efficiency battery systems segment.
Flourishing landscapes for energy storage solutions.
Daimler is by no means a newcomer on the energy storage market. As long ago as 2008, the company invested in innovative energy solutions from Kamenz in Saxony and won the ÖkoGlobe Award for them in 2009. Deutsche Accumotive and Mercedes-Benz Energy GmbH are both fully owned subsidiaries of the Daimler concern, and have set out to conquer the growth market for battery-based energy storage systems.

Domestic and industrial solutions.

To date, 30,000 storage systems have already been installed in German private households. Germany is currently the world’s biggest market for energy storage solutions. Demand is still rising, and it is expected that this year will see almost 20,000 new units sold and installed. Mercedes-Benz Energie GmbH also provides all-round solutions for industrial applications. A typical example of these is the development of an intelligent integrated system that can manage and control the entire frozen products chain from cold store to refrigerated delivery.
