Consolinno's Energy Management Solutions optimise and flexibilise any energy system. The highly innovative Consolinno Leaflet consists of in-house hardware and software and can monitor energy flows, optimise self-consumption, use electricity price dynamics, realise grid efficiency and create intelligent networking - for maximum added value.
With self-learning, AI-based algorithms, the solutions are used across all sectors: as a home energy management system, for digitalisation, control, regulation and forecast-based optimisation in industry, commerce, neighbourhoods, heating grids and tenant electricity properties, right through to use by energy suppliers with CLS function for grid-serving control.

Costs
Costs at building level
These are rough estimates. An offer must be requested for exact cost information.
The following use case was assumed for the cost estimate:
1 Multi-party residential building with the following components (excluding commercial):
- Measuring units: 20 electricity meters, 20 heat meters, 20 water meters (hot & cold)
- 1 photovoltaic system (with 1 inverter)
- 1 heat pump (SG-Ready)
- 1 hot water boiler
- 20 parking spaces, 5 of which are fully equipped with charging stations
-
Of these, the following functions can be fulfilled:
Measure electricity meterMeasure heat meterMeasure water meterIntegration PV systemControl heat pumpControl water boilerDynamic load managementData delivery consumption charging stations for billing (without collection)Implementation ZEV (pure data delivery - no collection) -
Of these, the following functions cannot be fulfilled:
| One-time hardware costs | EUR1,500 EMS plus control cabinet, plus marginal amount of cable material, |
| One-time software costs | EUR2,300 EMS: 1300 EUR (PV surplus heating and multi charging point mgmt for 5 charging points). Billing solutions (ZSV and E Mobility): Portal activation 1000 EUR (500 EUR each/portal for first customer activation - each additional property free of charge). |
| Total of one-time costs | EUR3,800 |
| Project management costs | EUR480 |
| Annual costs | EUR438 E Mobility billing: 2,50€/charge point per month - in the example (5 charge points) 12,50€/mtl. ZVS & metering: 1,20€/residential unit/month in the example (20 residential units) = 24€ /mtl. dyn. load and Lademgmt: included in one-time price. EMS: (PV excess heating, PV excess charging, PV opt. heating and charging, etc.) included in one-time price. |
| Deviation/discounts for portfolio with 100 buildings (per building) | -30% |
