If the SMA Energy Manager Sunny Home Manager 2.0 takes over the intelligent control of the loads, around half of the self-generated electricity can be used. Through 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 simple and possible without intervention in the existing system. The increase in self-consumption is particularly efficient if an electric vehicle is also charged with its own solar power or heated with solar power by integrating a heat pump. (mfo)
