The PlanetPod is the very first AI home battery developed in the Netherlands, made from recycled materials. This compact battery stores solar energy, delivers energy to your home when needed and automatically sells excess energy at a profit. This saves an average of 1,000 euros annually! So you will earn back the battery in as little as 6 years.

During the Liberation Festival in Utrecht, PlanetPoD did an A/B test: the Planetpod home battery prototype and its app were compared with another home battery. The test targeted homeowners with solar panels and examined their preferences and needs. 80% of the 80 people surveyed chose Planetpod mainly because of its design, profitable AI software and cost savings. The app was appreciated for its clear interface. Areas for improvement included titles for menu items, better monthly filters and a clearer dashboard. A modular design proved unnecessary; customers are willing to buy an additional Planetpod battery if they need more capacity.

The positive test results provide valuable insights for further product development and marketing strategies. This is where the entrepreneurs will be working hard in the near future.
