\"\"Andreas Piepenbrink shares his thoughts with us.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Andreas Piepenbrink is the cofounder of the electricity storage brand E3\/DC and heads Hager Group\u2019s Energy Management business unit called Hager Energy.<\/p>\n

Acting sustainably is a matter for us all. Indeed, the world\u2019s biggest challenges are rarely solved by one person or linear solutions.<\/p>\n

A firm believer in the necessity and the capacity to have a carbon neutral home, Andreas Piepenbrink has found his niche: single family energy storage systems to allow households to create just the right amount of energy they need.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so important to be able to contribute to reducing the effects of greenhouse gas, I play my part and contribute where I can. Using the principles of the circular economy and renewables is so much more responsible.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

He is convinced that the business model he set up more than ten years ago continues to go in the right direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe storage system is an honest example of what we can do, given how complicated the situation is. I don\u2019t claim to be a Greta Thunberg, however, doing the right thing matters to me. And we do have the technology to get the single family home to a CO\u2082 consumption of nearly zero.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ever conscious of the complexity of finding alternative energy sources to burning fossil fuels and being a critical thinker, Andreas admits that he has often asked himself if he is part of the solution for CO\u2082 reduction, or if he is part of the problem? But anyone who has the system installed can testify that it works and allows home owners to be in line with their values and ambitions to reduce their carbon footprint. He himself owns a home that is carbon neutral.<\/p>\n

As an entrepreneur, Andreas says that looking back now he couldn\u2019t have gone the distance alone, even though \u201cwhen you start out you have a vision, you want to do the impossible, and you are alone to make it work.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Throughout his 10-year E3\/DC adventure, he has sought the help of specialists and employed who he refers to as the \u201cbest of the best with a proven track record\u201d. Particularly proud of the teams he has developed and the brand he has set up:<\/p>\n

\u201cI am proud of having built up a strong brand together with a strong buy-in of private customers thanks to our proven track record of CO\u2082 balance in our technology.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The company name E3\/DC is derived from an acronym of the German words, \u201ceinsparend, erneuerbar, effektiv\u201d (saving, renewable, effective), hence E3, and DC or direct current. Since the company was founded, over 40,000 home power stations and Quattroporte systems are up and running at our customers\u2019 premises, and are making a contribution towards the environmentally-friendly and cost-saving provision of energy. In our locations in Osnabr\u00fcck, Wetter an der Ruhr and G\u00f6ttingen, we have a workforce of more than 170 employees, who strive to make the vision of independent houses and enterprises, and also solar electric mobility a reality. By storing and using solar energy, our independence from fossil fuel energy increases. Our energy supply can become up to 100 % autonomous. Every year, we produce over 16,000 home power stations, which are manufactured exclusively in Germany, and are subject to the strictest quality controls, in accordance with the ISO 9001 standard.<\/p>\n
