What FENECON does
FENECON GmbH is a German family-owned energy storage company founded in 2011 in Deggendorf, Bavaria, that designs, manufactures, and sells LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery storage systems and a proprietary open-source energy management system called FEMS. The product portfolio spans three tiers: home storage (Home 6, 10, 15, 20, 30) with capacities from 8.4 to 156.8 kWh, commercial storage (Commercial 50, 92, 100) from 28 kWh to 200+ kWp PV input, and industrial storage (Industrial S/M/L/XL) from 82 kWh to 1,288 kWh, with the Industrial XL and a dedicated CarBatteryReFactory line in Iggensbach specializing in second-life electric-vehicle battery repurposing. FEMS provides AI-based forecasting, dynamic tariff optimization, peak shaving, and grid-services integration, and is also contributed to the global open-source OpenEMS project.
FENECON operates a hybrid go-to-market: home and commercial systems are sold exclusively through wholesale partners supplying certified installers (Fachpartner), while industrial systems are sold through a direct enterprise field-sales organization with regional teams in Germany and a newly established International Markets department targeting Europe, MEA, South/Central America, India, and Asia-Pacific. The company runs three Bavarian sites — Iggensbach (HQ and industrial production, 24,000 m²), Albersdorf (home/commercial production and installer training), and Deggendorf (central business functions) — and reports more than 375 employees, >40,000 cumulative delivered systems, and revenue of >€130M. Revenue is generated predominantly through one-time hardware sales with optional FEMS app add-ons sold as perpetual licenses (no subscription), supplemented by a small recurring training-revenue line (€117.81 per installer seat) and capital raised through two crowdinvesting campaigns via GLS Crowd (€3M in 2022, up to €6M in 2025).
