Our optimization focuses on self-consumption, especially in the context of a ZEV. The system provides electricity meters that, among other things, measure surplus production from the PV system and distribute it to targeted consumers. An interface to PV systems is not necessary. We monitor the plant. The system enables connection to e-boilers as well as e-charging stations. The system, certified for ZEV, enables load shifting as well as electricity tariffs within the interconnection. The company has existed since 2018 and has already implemented around 595 homes in various installations in Switzerland. Since 2022 we also offer load management for AC- charging stations (up to 100 parking spaces) and DC charging station (up to 360 kW).
