As part of the “Analysis of Market Potentials”, the Reiner Lemoine Institute was commissioned to prepare a corresponding study over a period of February to August 2012. On the basis of literature research, the implementation of models adapted to the question and a large number of expert interviews, an insight into market potentials and business models was gained. This document provides an overview of key findings of the study.

One of the focal points of the cdw Stiftungsverbund gGmbH is the development and promotion of concepts and business models for the spread of PV-based off-grid grids. The Reiner Lemoine Institut gGmbH focuses on the scientific support of the energy transition from a systemic point of view, both locally and globally.
