Uncertainty about the balancing scheme, feed-in fines and grid congestion put a brake on the use of solar energy. This is why various parties are working to ensure that you use solar energy as efficiently as possible yourself without having to feed it back. Solarwatt, in cooperation with BMW, is also now launching an integrated solution for private and small business users, which always provides the lowest energy costs.
Solarwatt's solution consists of a combination of five system components: glass-glass solar panels, an economical charging station (Charger Vision), a battery system (Battery Vision), a new inverter (Inverter Vision) and a smart energy manager (Energy Manager Flex). If you use only Solarwatt components, you take full advantage of the system. But Solarwatt emphasizes that this solution has an open protocol, allowing you to integrate components from other brands as well.
Intelligent control
Energy Manager Flex is an energy management system that can automatically turn connected devices, such as a charging station and heat pump, on or off. In addition, this controller can also dynamically charge by automatically switching between charging a home battery, charging station or heat pump, for example. This ensures optimal use of solar energy. It is also possible to prioritize, for example by setting that the electric car is always full or that the heat pump is supplied with energy first as soon as the sun shines. Furthermore, Energy Manager Flex enables the installer to provide remote support.
Always the cheapest electricity
Battery Vision optimizes energy costs, increases energy independence and improves the stability and reliability of energy use. Developed in cooperation with BMW, this new modular home battery always automatically chooses the cheapest power source (solar or grid) to charge from. This can be a surplus of solar energy, but also electricity from the grid when the tariff is low, for example at night or during off-peak hours. Thus, the user always has energy stored during periods of lower cost. He can then use this energy himself (or feed it back to the grid) when electricity prices are high. An additional advantage of the battery is that it can act as a backup in the event of a power failure
The complete system integration will be available from mid-January 2025.
