Helsinki, June 15, 2023 - 1KOMMA5°, Europe's fastest growing cleantech company in green energy, continues its acquisition strategy and makes its first acquisition in the Danish market. Through the acquisition of Viasol, Denmark's leading solar company for solar solutions and home batteries, 1KOMMA5° becomes the leading player in renewable electricity for the residential market in the Nordic region.
Cleantech company 1KOMMA5° specializes in innovative solutions in solar energy, energy management, energy efficiency, and battery solutions. In less than two years, they have established themselves in over 55 different locations in the Nordic region, Europe, and Australia. Last year, they acquired Solar Age as the first company in Finland, entering their second Nordic country. Now, Viasol A/S becomes the first company acquired by 1KOMMA5° in Denmark.
"The acquisition of Viasol and the launch of Heartbeat in Denmark are crucial moments for 1KOMMA5°. Together, we reduce carbon dioxide emissions for homeowners, give customers the opportunity to participate in the electricity market, and build a more sustainable future," says Philipp Schröder, CEO of 1KOMMA5°.
The acquisition brings additional resources to the group to accelerate the transition to energy-smart households in the Nordic region, Europe, and the world. By integrating Viasol into 1KOMMA5° group's operations, the company gains access to a broader knowledge base and unique insights from Viasol's experience and expertise. What makes Viasol particularly relevant to the Nordic market is its knowledge of storage and battery solutions, as well as experience in the digital sales journey.
"The acquisition represents a strategic milestone for our growth plan and strengthens our position in the Nordic market. Viasol complements our existing portfolio of solutions for homeowners and enhances our ability to meet the needs and challenges in the Nordic region. With their significant expertise in the field, Viasol is an invaluable asset to us," says David Sätterman, Head of Acquisitions in 1KOMMA5°'s Nordic operations.
The collaboration will enable the company to develop even more innovative solutions and drive successful change that accelerates the transition of the residential market, with the goal of achieving a climate-neutral residential market by 2030.
1KOMMA5° Suomi’s CEO Ricardo Pacheco noted how this collaboration will revolutionize how people consume green energies: "We are delighted to welcome Viasol into our ranks as they contribute invaluable assets towards achieving our vision of reducing global carbon prints while ensuring sustainability for generations yet unborn".
In 2023, Viasol will have the opportunity to offer 1KOMMA5°'s energy management system, Heartbeat, which means Danish homeowners will have the opportunity to earn extra money through their smart energy solutions. Heartbeat controls the available electricity from the solar system, home battery, or grid when the power is cheap and abundant in solar and wind energy, and connects it to the household's consumption.
With the acquisition of Viasol and the launch of Heartbeat, 1KOMMA5° is leading the way in the green energy industry by optimizing already known green products and initiatives. In this way, 1KOMMA5° drives the development and understanding of the benefits individuals can gain from investing in green energy and thereby contributes to the green transition. The integration of solar panels, home batteries, heat pumps, and electric vehicle chargers through a single solution provides customers with a comprehensive smart energy solution for their households that promotes efficient energy use, savings on electricity bills, and minimization of the household's carbon footprint.
Furthermore, Danish homeowners will now have access to 1KOMMA5°'s new sustainable solar panel launched in the spring, a premium panel with European silicon, European warranty conditions, and a lower carbon footprint in production.
"We are very excited to join 1KOMMA5° and introduce Heartbeat in Denmark. Together, we can set new standards for how individuals can actively participate in the energy market, both by directly using affordable green electricity from solar and wind but also by participating in grid stabilization services and earning money from these services," says Rasmus Christiansen, CEO of Viasol.
"We can now leave old solar solutions (#OldSolar) in favor of new smart solar power (#NewSolar), where our green energy sources are optimally utilized. Together, we are strong, and together we can revolutionize how we consume energy in the residential market and make a real impact for our planet," continues Rasmus Christiansen, CEO of Viasol.
Thanks partly due to acquiring other companies like Solar Age in Finland last year as well as launching new products like Heartbeat in Sweden – 1KOMMA5° has already installed over 70 000 solar systems worldwide across 55 different locations since 2021 – aiming now for 150 million euros in turnover within 2023 just within Nordic region. With the acquisition of Viasol, 1KOMMA5° becomes the leading player in the transition of European residential households in the Nordic region.
