”Me and my Co-founder Hugo started this business in 2014, right after graduation from university. I wanted my exam project to be about batteries, but that was of no interest for the company I worked for, so we chose solar power, where we identified real estate owners as a market with no existing solution. This proved to be a great choice, says Linus Baihofer Werner.

Commercial buildings generally need a lot of electricity, and when LUMA started, there was no real competition in the segment. The business has grown at a considerable rate and LUMA is presently working with Sweden’s 25 of the largest real estate companies, helping them to produce and use sun energy. There are more possibilities to develop this business ahead.

”From market research, we knew that most of our clients had no or little competence, assets or resources to handle solar plants. This is why we handle the whole process, from the basis for decision to installation, maintenance and administration as well as reporting data” says Linus.

This means that LUMA takes care of everything. All with industry leading quality, sustainability, and working environment standards. Linus and Hugo are now moving back to their initial ideas about energy storage, with the same approach as they did with solar. The idea is to handle everything for the customer and integrate batteries, solar and other resources to convert the real estate to a renewable resource that helps the electrical grid and increase property value.
