The operation assurance app was developed and runs on a large screen in our office, where the operation of our installations is monitored, so that we can keep an eye on the functionality of our customers' batteries in real time.

Today

In a few years, VisBlue expects to be an international brand on the market for sustainable energy. The goal is to be a natural part of any major residential building where the energy account includes solar panels.

Solar energy storage is a key quantity in the calculations and can easily determine whether the investment in solar panels is worthwhile - and whether the extension meets the energy requirements of the legislation.

Our technology creates new standards for green energy utilisation, and development continues in the pursuit of greater efficiency for less money.
