Red Dot Award: Award ceremony in Berlin

Finally the time had come: last weekend, we were able to accept our award for the new KOSTAL Solar App in person as part of the official ceremony of the Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design 2019.

The award ceremony took place at the Designers‘ Night at ewerk Berlin among award-winning projects. In the exhibition 'Design on Stage“ which was shown exclusively for one night, guests were impressed by the excellent design quality of the best brands and the communication design projects of the year.

Our new KOSTAL Solar App impressed the jury with its high level of design quality, creative performance and intuitive handling. As well as offering holistic photovoltaic system monitoring, the app also contains a very special feature:

it uses a virtual battery to create a customised prognosis for PV systems that can't yet store the energy they generate to see how much self-consumption would be possible with a storage unit. And this helps to decide whether or not to invest in a battery.

You can easily see in our video what other advantages and functionalities the free KOSTAL Solar App offers you.

Watch and enjoy!

"With the Red Dot Award, we have received one of the most prestigious international awards for design quality and user experience. Of course, we're very proud of this. The award illustrates how important the customer experience is to us. Our app offers you a simple way of monitoring your system. It's intuitive, easy to use and visually appealing."
