About the Company

VREY

Turnkey communal solar energy for buildings

VREY (RE Joule GmbH) is a Berlin PropTech firm that provides solar power solutions for multi-family buildings. It plans, installs, and operates photovoltaic systems and runs the administrative side through a digital platform that automates billing to tenants under §42b EnWG, acting as a metering point operator. Landlords can sell solar power directly to tenants, while the platform handles contracts with energy providers for any remaining electricity, reducing supplier obligations and potentially lowering tenant costs and increasing property value. The goal is to expand communal solar use, support building decarbonization, and grow the value of rental properties by enabling tenant-verified clean energy.
