Olvondo Technology was established in 2016 as the two main owners, Olvondo Industries and LOS Gruppen acquired the assets and operation from former Single-Phase Power.
The company Single-Phase Power had over a period of ten years developed the Stirling based renewable energy technology known as SPP HighLift heatpump and SPP HeatPower engine. At the takeover the SPP technology was mature with more than 30.000 operational hours from commercial services.
The SPP technology are unique in its ability to provide high temperature lifts i.e., above 100oC, meaning it can recycle low temperature energy sources to high value process heat.
