A smart control system, or EMS (Energy Management System), is a technology that helps optimise your home’s energy usage. The EMS ensures your energy consumption is smartly aligned with your needs. In addition, your energy sources – such as your solar panels, home battery, air conditioner or charging point – work efficiently together. This can lower your energy costs and, at the same time, contribute to a more sustainable future.
EMS uses intelligent software and sensors that collect real-time data about your energy usage. The system can, for instance, track precisely how much energy your solar panels produce, how much your home battery stores or when your charging point is used. EMS analyses this data and adjusts your energy consumption so that you always use or store energy at the right time. Lower costs on your energy bill are a welcome result of this.
During winter, an EMS monitors electricity prices and can purchase power at cheaper times and possibly sell surplus power at more expensive moments. This leads to a faster return on investment.
