What Metergrid does
Metergrid GmbH is a Stuttgart-based EnergyTech company founded in 2021 that provides an integrated software and services platform for planning, executing, and operating tenant electricity (Mieterstrom) projects in German multi-family buildings. The company addresses the administrative, technical, and regulatory complexity that has historically made Mieterstrom impractical for most landlords by consolidating project economics analysis (Rendite Radar), smart metering (via the proprietary metergrid Gateway), automated EnWG-compliant billing, tenant management, and grid-operator liaison into a single web-based SaaS operator portal.
The core product is the Mieterstrom-Software, sold in three tiers: Basic (self-service for owner-operators), Plus (full-service ongoing operations including tariff switching, annual billing, regulatory filings, and tenant hotline, priced per active consumer), and Enterprise (custom multi-building portfolios). Supporting tools include the Mieterakquise-Tool for digital tenant contract signing, the Mieter-App for tenant transparency, a Partner Portal with a digital project configurator for installers, and a fully integrated green electricity tariff delivered with Rabot Energy. Metergrid generates revenue from tiered SaaS subscriptions, professional services for project implementation (meter installation, grid operator liaison, regulatory coordination), and hardware sales (smart meters, gateways). Distribution is primarily sales-led via a website intake and free Rendite Radar consultation, complemented by a 1,600+ certified installer/electrician partner network nationwide and strategic integrations with Hager (hardware), Reonic (PV planning), and Node.energy (commercial PPAs). Enterprise housing companies are served through a dedicated field sales motion.
Metergrid serves property owners and landlords (primary), housing companies and cooperatives (including the Berlin flagship: a 4.7 MWp system serving 3,000 units across three cooperatives), energy service providers/contractors, and commercial property owners. As of late 2025 the company reports 2,000+ projects, 65 MWp of integrated PV capacity, 53,000+ residents served across all 16 German federal states, 320% portfolio growth year-over-year, and approximately €17.5 million in cumulative funding across a December 2024 seed extension (€3.5M, led by Hager Group) and a January 2026 Series A (€10M, led by SET Ventures).

Metergrid competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- 1Komma5°: German energy services scale-up offering solar, heat pumps, EV charging, and electricity contracts to homeowners. Comparable to Metergrid as a German energy platform serving distributed PV, but focused on single-family homes rather than multi-family tenant electricity, making it a broader incumbent rather than a direct competitor.
- Enpal: Leading German solar leasing company offering PV systems, batteries, heat pumps, and EV chargers to homeowners on a subscription basis. Comparable as a German distributed solar platform, but operates a leasing model for single-family homes rather than a Mieterstrom SaaS for multi-family buildings.
- Solarwatt: Established German PV manufacturer and integrator offering panels, storage, and energy management for residential and commercial customers. Comparable as a German distributed solar player with adjacent energy management software, but more focused on hardware and single-family segments.
- Lichtblick: Large German green electricity supplier and energy services provider with offerings in decentralized energy and home energy management. Comparable as a German renewable energy platform serving end customers, but operates at much larger scale and broader scope than Metergrid.
Emerging players
- Zolar: German online marketplace for solar installations connecting homeowners with installers and offering PV planning tools. Comparable as a digital platform addressing German residential solar, but targets single-family customers rather than multi-family tenant electricity operators.
Direct peers
- Reonic: German SaaS for planning PV, heat pumps, and EV charging systems; now an integration partner of Metergrid. Directly comparable as a German distributed-renewables software platform targeting installers, with overlapping functionality in project economics and operations.
- Rabot Energy: Licensed German green electricity supplier offering dynamic tariffs and tenant electricity supply; co-developed Metergrid's fully integrated green electricity tariff. Directly comparable as a tenant electricity market participant, but operates in the supply layer while Metergrid operates in the software/operations layer.
- Lava Energy: German energy service provider (Energiedienstleister) operating 100+ tenant electricity projects across ~2,500 residential units; now a Metergrid customer. Directly comparable as a German Mieterstrom operator with similar project economics and tenant base.
- Node.energy: German SaaS for managing distributed energy assets, PPAs, and tenant solar electricity in commercial and residential real estate. Directly comparable as a German distributed-energy software platform serving housing companies and commercial property owners.
Others
- Hager Group: European electrical infrastructure manufacturer offering metering, energy distribution, EV charging, and building automation; a strategic investor and product integration partner of Metergrid. Relevant as a hardware and distribution enabler rather than a direct competitor.
