About us
From the gravel pit to High Voltage Energy Storage
Made in Austria
The battery energy storage company xelectrix Power GmbH was grounded in 2016 by brothers Alexander and Dominik Hartl and Christian Deutschbauer. The initial idea of Hybrization of diesel generators was born out of first-hand experience that diesel generators are often operating very uneconomically and increasing operating costs dramatically. This led to the concept and subsequent production of Energy Storage Systems that leads to fuel reduction, maintenance cost savings and emissions reduction. The product has now developed to provide solution in both on- and off- Grid industries.
