Linkvolt connects owners of photovoltaic systems and electric vehicle users within a building. Locally generated solar power is used directly on-site instead of flowing into the general grid at low feed-in tariffs.
The new legal framework for local energy sharing will come into effect on June 1, 2026. For the first time, it allows direct electricity brokering between producers and consumers without supplier status. Linkvolt acts as the technical intermediary: The platform handles meter data collection, electricity quantity allocation, and automated billing, all fully digitalized.
The business model is transactional, with a fee of 0.04 cents per kilowatt-hour brokered. Producers receive more than the legally mandated feed-in tariff. Consumers pay less than the grid electricity price. Linkvolt earns money on every transaction without buying or selling electricity.
The pilot project will start in Munich in summer 2026 with 10 to 20 households in one building. Scaling potential: over 3 million PV systems in Germany, growing number of electric vehicles in residential buildings.
