Frequently asked questions
- What exactly is an EMS?
- An EMS or energy management system is a control that aligns your generation, your consumption and, if applicable, your battery with each other. It decides when your appliances are best run, so that you use as much of your own energy as possible.
- Do I need solar panels for an EMS?
- An EMS works best if you generate your own power, because then there is a lot to control. Even without panels, control can be useful to shift consumption to more advantageous moments. We look at what suits you during a site visit.
- Which appliances can an EMS control?
- Especially appliances where the timing matters little, such as a heat pump, a boiler, an EV charger or large household appliances. Which ones we connect depends on your installation and your habits.
- Do I have to operate the system myself?
- No. The whole idea of an EMS is that the control happens automatically. You do not have to keep an eye on when the sun is shining or when power is more advantageous.
