Smarter Working = Smarter Selling (Part 4)

From individual appliances to one Smart Energy System

We're seeing it more and more: customers have solar panels, a charging point, a heat pump, and are considering a home battery. Individually, these are great investments, but they truly become powerful when they work together. With an energy management system, you can connect everything into one smart energy system. This is the ultimate way to get the most out of the installation. Read on!

What does an Energy Management System do in such a connected system?

An energy management system functions as the energy regulator in a home or business. It determines which appliance receives energy at what time, harmonises generation and consumption, and ensures that the battery, charging point, and heat pump don't counteract each other. It also prevents peak loads (and thus higher costs) and anticipates weather forecasts and electricity prices. It's an indispensable and intelligent system that thinks ahead and adjusts based on data.

What are the tangible benefits?

While such a system is certainly impressive, the benefits for your customer are paramount. And there are quite a few. Take a look:

• More efficient energy consumption: no waste, no unnecessary grid export

• Reduced grid load: important with limited capacity or grid congestion

• Lower costs: smart switching = smarter consumption

• More comfort: everything works smoothly together without manual settings

This way, your customer always has a firm grip on their energy consumption, preventing many surprises after the fact.
