The main problem is that wind and solar farms are fluctuating and, by definition, unsteady-there is no sun at night, and it is not always windy. This increases the need for flexibility in the form of battery storage systems to balance the grid in times when supply and demand do not match.\nBy buying and developing grid-scale storage assets and virtually aggregating them across a layer, we are creating the world's first energy cloud. Imagine AWS for energy. Through the flexibility we secure, we can market flexibility-as-a-service and hedging products/power insurance to utilities, SMEs, and industrial players and create virtual storage capacity for PV and wind farms.\nWhat we are hiring for - Your Role\nAs our Pre-Sales Engineer (m/f/d), you remove technical bottlenecks from the sales process and help us close deals faster.
