We rely on combined heat and power (CHP) with a gas-fired combined heat and power plant (MICRO-CHP) & storage tank.
What, How and Why?
There are many methods of converting the primary energies oil and gas into electricity, heating and cooling.
In order to conserve the dwindling oil and gas resources, it is a top priority to use them as economically as possible. One efficient method is conversion in a combined heat and power unit. In a combined heat and power unit, electricity and heat are generated simultaneously with an efficiency of up to over 90%.
This relieves the environment and noticeably reduces energy costs.
The special feature of this proven method is:
The heat generated during power generation is usable for you and is not released into the environment with climate-damaging consequences. This is why combined heat and power is rightly regarded as the sustainable energy generation of the future. It is an active contribution to environmental protection. This is why this process is welcomed by environmental associations and supported by the federal government.
In conventional power plants, losses during the conversion of fuel into electricity amount to over 60%. This loss consists mainly of the corresponding heat being discharged unused into the atmosphere or bodies of water. Why is this heat not used? Conventional power plants produce electricity far away from the consumer. This great distance makes it economically impossible to bring the waste heat into residential areas and use it sensibly. This distance has another disadvantage: the electricity produced in the power plant has to be brought to the consumer. Transmission losses occur on the kilometre-long way there.
With cogeneration, electricity is produced directly at the location where it is needed.
This reduces grid costs and eliminates transmission losses. The heat generated at the same time is used up to 90%.
What is the advantage of our CHP system?
Quality does not have to be expensive:
For this reason, we have constructed our CHP for the Power4you system from the most commonly used components in automotive engineering. Our individual parts are therefore produced en masse on a daily basis and have already proven themselves in terms of quality and over the long term.
The „acquisition costs“ for our CHP are worthwhile because our CHP is just as cheap as other conventional heating devices (oil heating, gas boiler, …) and yet it can do more, i.e. generate „additional“ electricity!
Advantage: Use additional storage:
In addition, it basically produces the electricity and heat only according to your needs, no more and no less! With the additional use of storage for electricity and hot water, the highest savings and the best economic efficiency can be achieved in this way.
A unique selling point worldwide is that the electricity generated by our CHP can be stored and is not fed into the public grid!
This allows you to retire to your island completely independently, missing nothing in the process and free from taxes.
In the event of a blackout in the public grid, the lights will still be on in your home.
What is the difference to other CHPs?
With CHP, combined heat and power, the efficient heat generators today not only provide heat for heating and hot water, but also electricity, which can either be consumed by the homeowner or fed into the public grid.
With our micro power generation system, you produce „exclusively“ the amount of energy you need and can store yourself!
None of this is a new invention, but a clear improvement of old and proven systems. Simply made better. It should be a win-win situation for everyone involved.
In contrast to large power plants, which usually only generate electricity, the units achieve a significantly higher degree of efficiency. CHP units are generally available in different output classes. Special units have been developed to supply small units such as detached houses or apartment buildings.
With our system, you create an „island solution“ and are independent of the public power grid, but could use it!
Micro „also“ because it takes up little space…
365 days of meaningful operation
The challenge here, however, is that the CHP electricity can only be generated if the heat produced also finds a buyer at the same time. In the hot summer days, you don’t need heating, but with an additional unit, the heat can also be converted into cold.
*** The waste heat can therefore be used all year round ***
Our CHP unit can be operated with all types of gas. We have chosen gas as the primary energy and combined it with state-of-the-art flue gas technology. This guarantees clean combustion. Even conventional gas boilers emit dirty exhaust gas!
Just as the infrastructure exists for the logistics of even cleaner primary energy, such as methanol or hydrogen, you can also run our CHP with it to be even more environmentally friendly.
With our system you become more and more green!
The CHP units usually produce electricity and heat in a ratio of one to three. This means that with one kilowatt of electrical output, CHP units simultaneously produce heat with an output of about three kilowatts. Special nano or micro CHP units have been developed for use in typical single-family homes, which cover the basic heat load in a building with a thermal output of three kilowatts. In order to always be able to provide sufficient heating despite the small output, the CHP units are usually operated together with a gas or oil heating system.
With our Power4you system, you don’t need „any“ other heating systems thanks to the corresponding storage tanks!
Our small CHP as Home Edition produces 3 KWh of electricity and 7-10 KWh of heat per hour, i.e. up to 72 KWh of electricity and up to 168 KWh of heat per day…
For comparison: On average, you need about 10 KWh of electricity a day in your single-family home
At any time of the day or year, this sufficiently covers the energy needs of your home! You don’t need anything else through our Power4You system!
- The Power4You CHP – Home Edition – generates 3 KWh of electrical + up to 10 KWh of thermal power, per hour!
- The Power4You CHP – Business Edition – for SMEs generates 6 KWh of electrical + 12 KWh of thermal energy, per hour!
- If this output is not enough for you, you can connect several of our CHP units and storage media together – all systems are expandable and can even be supplemented with gas boilers or solar systems, for example.
- The power4you system doesn’t even cost you as much to buy as a comparable oil heating system … and it’s not just a stove, it also generates electricity!
- There is also no CHP unit in the world that costs so little. We guarantee that.
Sogar niedrige Installationskosten
- Installation in your existing building services is simple. Every heating engineer and electrician can set it up without any further specialist knowledge
- Installation in new buildings or addition to your old heating system, both possible and cost-saving
- For God’s sake, don’t go to the trouble of removing your old oil heating system! Keep the old oil heating as long as you can before you have to shell out money again to uninstall and dispose of the old technology
- The CHP is small, the size of a refrigerator, and can be easily installed in front of your heating system with a bypass. You still have the space in the cellar
- The battery storage is exactly the same size and is placed on top of each other, which makes it even more space-saving
- Extending your home’s electrics with it is a cinch for the local electrician.
- If you still don’t have room in the cellar, or don’t have a cellar, simply build the system outside on the house with an enclosure – your bins are also in an enclosure outside
So once again the independence principle in a nutshell – become your own energy company:
Gase connection/liquid gas tank -> install CHP in parallel with your existing heating system -> build battery storage and water storage in between -> finished!

Start the future with us
In future you can use your old oil tank to store hydrogen! Resourceful colleagues from Nuremberg have invented a system in which hydrogen can be transported and stored „safely“ in a fuel oil tanker. We will be happy to inform you about this on request.
*** Our CHP runs on all types of gas, methanol and hydrogen ***
Then your power4you system is environmentally friendly, through and through!
Good to know:
Your own electricity production is your greatest savings potential
- You are no longer dependent on the public grid, you also do not feed electricity into it, which is why you do not need another meter, nor do you need permission to do so.
- When the blackout in the public grid threatens, the light is on at your end. You no longer overload the grid with your own demand and thus do not burden the general public.
- They also don’t let you look at their cards, no one has access to your data and consumption.
- …If you want to drive an e-car in the future or afford your own sauna, you are the group boss in your own house, simply independent.
Heating costs are just as cheap as producing your own electricity!
- However, you can also save heating costs by using a hot water storage tank. A stratified tank provides you with hot heating water and hot domestic water. You also save money here because the hot water storage tank covers peak loads. That is efficient energy management.
- A hot water tank, if you don’t already have one, can be connected in between with a simple bypass. Your local heating engineer can do this easily.
And by the way:
The envy of your neighbours is guaranteed!
- …because your investment in the in-house energy system finances your property, not the energy company.
- …You are now consciously greener behind the ears and have a better conscience towards yourself, your environment and your children.
- …You will be significantly less burdened by your energy costs and have more money in your pocket. Off on holiday?
