We are excited to announce our pre-seed investment in Renset, a clean energy company revolutionizing portable powers for construction sites, festivals, and remote locations.
Construction sites, NUTS companies, and festivals have traditionally relied on diesel and petrol generators for their power. These generators are noisy, inefficient, and emit harmful CO₂, impacting both the environment and the health of workers. A standard 5 kVA diesel generator, which is most common, produces around 50 kg of CO₂ emissions daily and operates at only 40% fuel-to-electricity efficiency. This inefficiency, coupled with the high maintenance costs associated with combustion engines, drives up operational expenses and creates dependency on fuel availability due to the need for extensive fuel storage and logistics.
Renset has developed a durable, waterproof, portable battery system specifically engineered for utility and construction sites. Unlike heavier alternatives, Renset’s battery weighs significantly less (50kg), making it easier to transport, install, and move between various sites, which is particularly advantageous for mobile operations that require frequent relocation of power sources. Designed as a high-output, emission-free solution, this battery system addresses the environmental and logistical limitations commonly associated with traditional fuel-based generators, such as CO₂ emissions, noise, and fuel dependency. A key innovation in Renset’s design is the modular, swappable battery packs, which enable a constant energy supply. When one battery is depleted, it can be quickly replaced with a fully charged unit, allowing for seamless transitions without any interruption in power. This approach provides continuous energy flow throughout the day, eliminating the need for on-site recharging infrastructure and reducing downtime.
At its core, the Renset system is modular, with four available slots for 1 kWh battery modules. This modularity allows users to adjust capacity as needed, with a maximum of 4 kWh when all four modules are in place. This is enough for an average working day in the life of a contractor who uses low to medium power tools. This design makes it highly adaptable, users can tailor the energy supply to match the specific requirements of the task at hand, scaling up or down as necessary. When one battery module is drained, it can be effortlessly removed and swapped for a fully charged module.
