German Energy Infrastructure I GmbH
What is the background to the takeover?
Greenfinch GmbH & Co. KG ("Greenfinch") has taken over the customer contracts and associated assets for solar rental systems previously held by Yello Solar GmbH, DZ-4 Betriebsgesellschaft I mbH and DZ-4 Betriebsgesellschaft II mbH. Greenfinch specializes in investments in renewable energies and thus ensures the long-term maintenance of all acquired solar rental contracts.
From a legal point of view, all plants of Yello Solar GmbH, DZ-4 Betriebsgesellschaft I mbH and DZ-4 Betriebsgesellschaft II mbH were transferred by universal succession to the newly founded operating company, Deutsche Energie Infrastruktur I GmbH, which was acquired by Greenfinch in the course of the transaction.
Will my contract remain valid?
Yes, your solar rental contract and all contractual conditions remain unchanged. The amount of the solar rent will not change.
Has my contractual partner changed?
Yes, your contractual partner is now the newly founded Deutsche Energie Infrastruktur I GmbH. It has taken over your rental agreement with all associated rights and obligations.
Do I have to agree to the transfer of the contract?
No, consent is not required as all contracts were automatically transferred to Deutsche Energie Infrastruktur I GmbH (statutory universal succession).
Do I have a special right of termination as a result of the takeover?
No, there is no special right of termination, as neither a contractual nor a statutory special right of termination applies in this case.
Is a new SEPA mandate now required?
No, we do not need a new SEPA mandate from you.
Will anything else change?
We strive for a seamless transition of all services so that as little as possible changes for you.
Your automatic rent collection will continue to take place on the same date each month as usual and from November 2025 will simply be collected into a different target account. We have informed you of the new target account separately by e-mail and letter.
Due to different booking systems between your old and new contractual partner, in individual cases the amount collected may be 1 cent higher or lower than before due to rounding.
If you transfer your rent yourself, the target account will also change here. Please transfer your monthly rent from November 2025 to the new target account that we have notified you of by e-mail and letter. You are also welcome to switch to SEPA direct debit if you send us a short message (see contact details above).
What happens to my personal data?
Your personal data required for the fulfillment of your contractual relationship (e.g. name, address, bank details, system data) has been securely transferred to Deutsche Energie Infrastruktur I GmbH within the framework of the statutory universal succession. The protection of your data is our top priority. All data will of course be treated strictly in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Your previous contact for services, Bullfinch Asset AG, will remain active as a contracted service provider under an order processing agreement and will also have access to the data required to provide the service.
What happens to the guarantees and warranty for my system (e.g. for modules, inverters)?
All existing manufacturer's warranties and statutory warranty claims are transferred unchanged to Deutsche Energie Infrastruktur I GmbH. Should a component of your system fail, we will take care of repair or replacement as usual within the scope of the contractual conditions.
What happens if I have a problem with my solar system? Who can I contact?
You are welcome to continue to contact us with your concerns. We, Bullfinch Asset AG, are still in charge of all services related to your solar installation.
As described above in the general section, you can ask our chatbot for immediate assistance, browse our helpdesk articles, create a service ticket or contact us by phone.
Wattcontrol app
How can I install and use the WattControl app?
It only takes a few minutes to switch to the new app:
- Download the app: Download the free WattControl app from Google Play or the App Store:
- Simply register: On the changeover day, which we have announced to you by letter and e-mail, we will send you a link to your personal dial-in page in the app, where you can then assign your new password using the "Forgot password" function.
- Get started right away: Immediately after logging in, you will see your solar system with all devices. You don't need to configure anything else. Your generation and consumption history is automatically transferred for you.
You do not need to make any adjustments to your system or the meter cupboard. A visit from a technician is not necessary.
Is there a user manual for the app?
Yes, you can find the operating instructions under this link.
Will the new app change anything about my solar contract or the costs?
No. The WattControl app is and will remain completely free of charge for you as part of your existing solar contract. Nothing will change in your contract.
Will anything change for me when using my system? Do I have to do anything?
The function of your system will not change. To keep an eye on your system performance, install the new WattControl app at the earliest on the changeover date notified by letter and e-mail. The way to the app is explained above in question 1. You do not need to make any settings or changes to your system. A visit from a technician is not necessary. Your system just needs to be online and the internet connection needs to be as reliable as possible.
Why are you switching to a new solution?
Your previous app has not been developed further by the manufacturer for some time and will be discontinued by 2026 at the latest. It is therefore necessary to switch to the future-proof WattControl app - and it will bring you numerous benefits such as better performance and more control options.
Will my solar system continue to run normally during the changeover?
Yes, your solar system is completely unaffected by the app changeover. It will continue to produce and store electricity as usual during the entire conversion phase. The changeover only affects the visualization of the data on your smartphone.
Will my previous data be retained?
Yes, we securely transfer your previous generation and consumption data to the new WattControl app.
What happens if I register with WattControl before the changeover date?
You can already install the app now. However, you cannot log in yet, not even with the "Forgot password" function. This function will only be activated on the changeover date.
What happens if I register with WattControl after the changeover date?
This is not a problem. During the period from the changeover date until your registration, you simply have no visibility of your solar system's performance data.
What happens if I don't switch from the previous app to the new WattControl app?
Without the changeover, you will no longer be able to view the performance data of your solar system, as the previous app will be switched off for you. The basic operation of your solar system will continue, i.e. your system will produce electricity and, in the case of a battery storage system, continue to charge and discharge electricity.
What are the system requirements for the new app? Will it run on my smartphone?
The new WattControl app is optimized for modern smartphones and runs on all Apple iPhone 11 and newer models and on almost all Android devices from version Android 10. You can find the exact requirements directly in the respective app store.
What can I do if I do not receive or have not received the login link on the changeover day?
In this case, please download the new WattControl app from the relevant app store and use the "Forgot password" function there with the e-mail address of your previous app. If you no longer know this e-mail address, please contact Bullfinch support: info@bullfinch.com and 069-950648670 (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm). Please have your contract number ready.
How can I change the e-mail address used for login?
After registering with your previous e-mail address via the login link, you can create a new user with your new e-mail address in the WattControl app and delete your previous user account with the old e-mail address. If you have not received the login link and no longer know your previous e-mail address, please contact Bullfinch Support with your new preferred e-mail address: info@bullfinch.com and 069-950648670 (Mon-Fri 9 am-5 pm). Please have your contract number ready.
What happens if one of my devices is no longer recognized, e.g. my heating element?
In such exceptional cases, please first try restarting the system and the app. If this does not solve the problem, please contact Bullfinch support: info@bullfinch.com and 069-950648670 (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm). Please have your contract number ready.
What happens to the Energybase EnergyManager Box in my meter cupboard?
The WattControl app continues to use the Energybase energy manager box. At the update time, the box receives a software update via an automatic update. No changes to the meter cabinet are necessary.
My system is offline or my Internet connection is unstable. What can I do?
If your system is unintentionally offline, please contact Bullfinch support. If there have been problems with the stability of the Internet connection in the past (e.g. when using Devolo or dLAN Powerline communication), we recommend temporarily connecting the Energybase Energy Manager Box to the router via LAN cable. To do this, connect the network socket on the front of the Energybase EnergyManager Box in your switch cabinet to a free connection on your Internet router using a suitable network cable.
Can I also use WattControl for other solar systems?
WattControl has been specially adapted to your existing solar system managed by Bullfinch. Use for other solar systems is currently not possible.
What is "WattControl" and which provider is behind it? Is my data safe there?
We have developed WattControl for you together with a leading European provider of energy management software. The protection of your data is a top priority for us and our partner. Data processing is of course carried out strictly in accordance with the GDPR guidelines on servers in Europe.
