If the SMA energy management system Sunny Home Manager 2.0 takes over the intelligent control of the consumers, around half of the self-generated electricity can be used. Through the additional retrofitting with battery storage, solar power is also available after sunset, and power consumption from the public grid is further reduced. With the AC-coupled SMA battery inverters, storage integration is very simple and possible without major intervention in the existing system.
The increase in self-consumption is particularly efficient and ecological if an electric car is also charged with the solar power that is generated. For example, with the SMA EV Charger charging solution. The integration of a heat pump further makes it possible to heat with sustainable solar power and thereby save on heating costs. (mfo)
