Why we've invested in Volytica
Trend
The cost of batteries is falling sharply - comparable to the learning curve for PV - making them a cost-effective form of energy storage. This opens up commercially attractive application possibilities and accelerates expansion.
Problem
Battery storage systems are complex to manufacture and operate. The expansion of energy storage systems must go hand in hand with solutions that ensure safe, high-performance and long-lasting operation. Operators are buying valuable assets whose current and future status is not transparent.
Solution
Volytica offers an intelligent cloud-based, manufacturer-independent battery analytics platform ("vdx engine") for analysing the status and simulating the performance behaviour without the need for additional hardware. The platform also allows the application to be simulated in different operating modes.

About volytica
volytica diagnostics GmbH is a Dresden-based software provider specializing in battery diagnostics for mobile and stationary energy storage systems. Their goal is to make the use of battery systems safer and more sustainable, driving value to the end user. Utilizing its innovative AI-based analysis software and collected field data, volytica provides a new level of transparency about the condition of batteries. Customers gain valuable insights into degradation, health status, anomalies, security risks, and charge state through this proprietary solution. These insights can either be integrated into customer-specific platforms or made available on volytica’s in-house dashboard. Additional features include concrete operational recommendations for optimal performance, proactive alarm notifications, and evaluations of the remaining lifespan for second-life concepts.
The longer the battery remains in an optimal state of health, the more economical it is for the vehicle owner, whether it is a leasing company or the vehicle/truck as a service provider.
