Sales doubled thanks to Amperecloud
Maximizing revenue streams and adapting to changing regulatory frameworks are critical to the success of power plant operations. In this context, we would like to highlight the experience of SolarFuture GmbH and how they successfully overcame revenue optimization and regulatory challenges using Amperecloud's Direct solution.
SolarFuture faced the challenge of operating its power plants under the EEG tariff, which limited its revenue potential by foregoing an important source of income. In addition, the switch to direct marketing carried the risk of revenue losses due to strict legal requirements and severe consequences for non-compliance.
To overcome these challenges and tap into new revenue opportunities, SolarFuture switched their power plants to Amperecloud's Direct solution. This allowed them to benefit from stock market developments and optimize their revenue streams. The implementation of the regulatory requirements for direct marketing was efficiently handled by the Amperecloud platform.
Christian Mayer, COO of SolarFuture: "We are now benefiting from the current stock market development without risking our return on investment."

By introducing Direct and converting its power plants to direct marketing, SolarFuture experienced a significant positive impact on its revenue streams. The introduction of Direct reduced the number of business partners involved in the direct marketing process from four to one, which simplified operations. In addition, the company saw a notable increase in average revenue from its power plants, with rates rising from 8-10 cents/kWh to 15-26 cents/kWh. This shift resulted in a doubling of revenues, illustrating the significant impact of Direct on the company's financial performance.
SolarFuture's success story with Amperecloud's Direct solution demonstrates the importance of revenue optimization and compliance in the solar industry. By converting its power plants to direct marketing, SolarFuture is tapping into additional revenue streams and benefiting from the development of the exchange. Amperecloud's platform facilitates the smooth implementation of regulatory requirements and mitigates non-compliance risks. SolarFuture has been able to reduce the complexity of its operations, consolidate its business partners, and see a significant increase in its average revenue. By adopting Direct, it has successfully positioned itself for greater financial success and ensured the long-term sustainability of its power plant operations.
