With Enpal we are pursuing the dream of building the largest renewables community in Europe.

How do we do this? Enpal finally makes solar easy: We rent solar systems, electricity storage devices, wall boxes and heat pumps at an all-inclusive rate, supplemented by a low-cost green electricity rate, and intelligently networked to form an integrated overall solution. True to the motto “digital, decentralized and 100% renewable“, our heart beats both for the rapid development of a company  and for combating the greatest challenge of our generation — climate change.

As the first green unicorn in Germany, we see it as our duty to further advance our mission of green energy for everyone. Be part of this success story and change the world together with us!
