Lynus

Lynus AG is a Swiss technology company founded in 2020 that develops integrated hardware and software solutions for energy management, primarily for photovoltaic (PV) systems. The company provides complete energy systems, including PV modules, battery storage, inverters, and EV charging stations, all controlled by a central, AI-powered software platform. This core technology uses machine learning algorithms and weather data to optimize energy consumption, which can reduce energy use by an average of 20% and shorten the amortization period for PV systems by up to 30%.

The company was founded by a group of technology enthusiasts with a vision to create a holistic energy management system that optimizes facilities both energetically and economically. The leadership team includes individuals with backgrounds in renewable energies, software engineering, and business management, such as CEO Paul Hauser and CTO Kai Ebensperger.

Lynus serves a range of clients, from individual homeowners to multi-story residential buildings and commercial and industrial enterprises. The business model includes direct sales of components and complete systems, as well as a franchise-like partner network where Lynus focuses on software and system integration while partners handle sales and project implementation. A key service is 'Lynus Kraftwerke,' a virtual power plant that connects decentralized systems to trade surplus energy on the electricity market and provide grid-stabilizing ancillary services. Through its sister company, Enerfin, Lynus also offers tenant electricity contracting and flexibility marketing.
