New Energy as the Key to Future-Proof Real Estate

Every home needs energy—and it quickly becomes an unwelcome companion once the first electricity or gas bill arrives. The “problem” of fluctuating availability of renewable energy sources like wind and solar often discourages the idea of investing in a home’s long-term value and appeal through photovoltaic systems. That’s why homeowners often need strong environmental motivations to install solar panels or heat pumps.

Making energy from wind and sun consistently available is the key to reducing energy costs and contributing to climate protection. Innovative providers like 1KOMMA5° are making this possible through intelligent control of energy-consuming devices, combined with battery storage systems and the use of their proprietary dynamic electricity tariff. Investments that were once seen as mere cost factors can now become critical components in increasing a property’s value and ensuring its future viability.

Value Enhancement through Future-Oriented Technology

Real estate markets are increasingly valuing the energy efficiency and sustainability of homes. A single-family house equipped with a modern photovoltaic system that covers a significant portion of its electricity needs reduces operating costs for the owner and signals a future-ready setup. Energy self-sufficiency offers a tangible advantage that is reflected directly in the market value. Prospective buyers appreciate the independence from rising electricity prices and the planning certainty that comes with it.

The same applies to heat pumps. These efficient heating systems harness ambient warmth and replace traditional fossil-fuel systems, significantly improving a home's energy performance. A house with a modern heat pump receives a much more favorable energy performance certificate and real estate valuation than one with conventional heating. Modernization not only protects against future regulations and rising CO₂ costs but also broadens the appeal of the property to buyers who prioritize sustainability and low operating costs. The combination of photovoltaic systems and heat pumps creates a synergy that sustainably increases a home's value. However, this alone does not solve the problem of the fluctuating availability of renewable energy.

Smart Control and Dynamic Tariffs for Clean, Affordable Power

The energy transition in private homes goes beyond just installing PV systems and heat pumps. The key lies in full electrification and intelligent control of all energy, heating, and mobility systems. Only when everything is interconnected and linked to the electricity market can the full potential of renewable energy be realized. Electricity prices on the energy exchange are lowest when the share of renewable energy is at its highest.

With intelligent energy management software, household electricity generation and consumption can be flexibly adapted to fluctuating wind and solar outputs. This is where artificial intelligence (AI) plays a role: it analyzes weather forecasts, consumption data, and current electricity market prices in real time—deciding, for instance, when the heat pump should run most efficiently or when to charge the electric vehicle or battery storage cost-effectively. The result: lower electricity costs and a direct contribution to grid stability—because electricity is used when wind and sun are providing it.

1KOMMA5°: All-in-One Energy Solutions

A pioneer in holistic energy solutions, 1KOMMA5°, based in Hamburg, installs photovoltaic systems, energy storage units, heat pumps, air conditioning systems, and EV charging stations—intelligently connected via its own energy management software, Heartbeat AI. The system is enhanced by the company’s dynamic electricity tariff, offering a complete, all-in-one solution for more independence, efficiency, and cost savings.

The CleanTech startup relies on cutting-edge technology and operates its own network of regional certified technicians across Germany who handle the installation of the hardware. This combination of high-tech and local craftsmanship is unique in the market.

For property owners, it’s an investment that pays off: an energy-efficient and intelligently networked home is not only more sustainable in operation but also significantly more attractive and valuable on the market. A modern energy setup is therefore not just a gimmick for tech enthusiasts, but a powerful lever for cost savings, value appreciation, and sustainability.
