From the first day the Solar Flex technology is installed it becomes profitable. What makes the system even more attractive, is that you’re doing the environment a favor at the same time, says CEO Erik Andersson.

SolarFlex is a product which enables solar collectors on the roof being connected to an existing water heater indoors. Instead of replacing the property owner’s water heater, it connects to a small junction box. This does not only lead to reduced material and installation costs, but also that a solar collector can be installed where there previously was not possible due to lack of space. Solar flex also has at least as high output as a new solar water heater.

The technology is not only profitable but also has about 10% more efficient than today’s solar system, according to measurements at the University of Lund. Right now we are looking for suitable reference objects, what is needed is a house with free standing electric water heaters, says Andersson.

With 50 million hot water tanks for domestic use in Europe alone, the potential for replacing traditional energy sources with renewable energy is significant. In Oktober 2014 the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicted that solar power could be the world’s largest power source by 2050, EfficaxEnergy’s simple solution could be one step in the right direction.

On January 18th, the FFWD collective will be throwing an event in Berlin! This event will be the first step in attracting genuine Berliners to the Skåne market for collaboration and investment. The location is Spreegalerie Alexanderplatz and the theme is simple and honest: “Skåne loves Berlin”.

“This event will focus on the person-to-person connection, rather than the cliche of business-to-business. After all, it’s the personal aspect of business that solves problems and creates opportunities.”

The purpose of the event is to showcase, in an honest and innovative way, how Skåne and Berlin can work together to create awesomeness. The event itself will be focusing less on physical products and more on creating a good experience for our friends and guests. Communicating what makes Skåne different  will be crucial in appealing to the  Berlin community. Focusing on subtile values and cultural aspects to inspire visitors and create relations to want to work with Skåne companies and industry.

We want to give something to the Berlin, instead of just taking up space.

Are you in Berlin during the 18th of January? Sign up at www.ffwdgroup.se and tell your friends!
