Our service enables employers to effortlessly offer their employees affordable, smart energy storage solutions as a valuable employee benefit. Our mission is to reduce electricity expenses and foster a sustainable future by making green power accessible to all.
In simple terms, smart energy storage devices are large batteries that are connected to the Internet and can communicate with other devices. As a result, they know at all times how much electricity is being consumed and needed in the house.
What few people know: Electricity prices fluctuate greatly during the course of the day and sometimes even go into negative territory - depending on supply and demand. Smart energy storage systems trade electricity in the background, buying it at favorable times and making it available from storage at expensive times.
This ensures that the electricity is always available at the best price. The fact that we work exclusively with green electricity providers also means that the electricity is always 100% green.
Employee benefits are an important component of corporate culture and employee retention. They enable employers to increase their attractiveness as an employer and set themselves apart from other companies in the competition for the best talent.
However, while most benefits offer little added value for employees, a smart energy storage system is a benefit that offers real added value: It can save up to 30% of the electricity costs that employees pay out of their take-home pay. Even if the storage unit cannot trade on the stock exchange, electricity costs can be reduced by up to 20% in conjunction with a balcony power plant.
Not to mention that by providing energy storage in conjunction with a flexible green electricity tariff, employers reduce their CO₂ footprint and thus make an important contribution to climate protection.
Just like other employee benefits, such as a job ticket or a company cell phone, an energy storage unit can also be offered as a benefit. Employees benefit twice over: firstly, through a tax-free non-cash benefit and secondly, through the opportunity to significantly reduce their electricity costs.
Volcony takes over the complete contract processing and offers both employers and employees an all-round carefree package: All processes, such as the registration of the company, the management of employees and the processing of orders run digitally and are thus for all parties involved. Fast, simple and paperless.
Just as with a company bike or the employee PC program (MPP), the main requirement for using Volcony is an employer who wants to offer their employees the opportunity to purchase a smart energy storage device.
Once a company has registered for Volcony and been verified by the leasing company, employees can select the hardware and obtain it via the platform. If the storage is operated by Schuko plug, it is delivered directly to the employee. For larger storage units that require work by an electrician, the storage unit is delivered and installed by us.
All contractual matters between the parties involved in the process are handled 100% digitally via our platform.
