𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 🔦🌟 𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘹 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘚𝘰𝘭𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 3 BIG NEWS as EET - Efficient Energy Technology GmbH launches Solmate 3, in close collaboration with E.ON Group Innovation and enviaM-Gruppe! 💡Solmate 3 was built for maximum compatibility and includes an innovative virtual smart meter which is key for the German market, where smart meter penetration levels are significantly below other European countries. 🕵Through its state-of-the-art 'net-detection' technology, Solmate 3 is able to detect a home's electricity consumption by simply plugging into a power socket. So it knows exactly when to discharge to power the home. 📉In combination with the specially designed tariff provided by enviaM-Gruppe, the device can charge power from the grid whenever prices are low and use the stored energy to power the home later, when grid prices are higher. “We are bringing together this innovative technology from the startup world with the commercial force of a provider like enviaM to create a new benchmark for plug and play battery solutions that act as a grid-supportive player”, explains Markus Grote, Vice President of Consumer Innovation at E.ON Group Innovation. Thoralf Ehnert, Vice President Commodity and Energy Econonomics at enviaM-Gruppe adds: "What makes this solution truly special, is that it enables everyone, including tenants, to participate in the energy transition and take advantage of flexibility – simply by plugging in.” Link to can be found in the comments of the original post 👇 #FlexForAll #Collaboration #EnergyEfficiency #Balcony
