Energy Management for Photovoltaic Systems – How it Works
Why energy management is important for photovoltaics
Photovoltaic systems produce electricity depending on solar radiation.
Often, there is a surplus of solar power at noon, while less electricity is generated in the mornings or evenings.
Energy management helps to optimally utilize this electricity.
Increase self-consumption
An important factor for the economic viability of a PV system is self-consumption.
The more solar power is used directly, the less electricity needs to be purchased from the grid.
Intelligent device control
An energy management system can automatically control devices, for example:
• Heat pumps
• Wallboxes
• Battery storage systems
This ensures optimal use of surplus solar power.
HEMS PRO and photovoltaics
An energy management system like HEMS PRO connects photovoltaics,
battery storage, and household consumers. The system ensures
that as much solar power as possible is used directly.
