Optimising self-generated energy with the Smappee energy system

To improve its energy efficiency, a business zone chose to combine solar production, smart consumption management, and EV charging through the Smappee energy system. This integrated approach prioritises self-generated energy, reduces reliance on the grid, and keeps daily costs under control.

Project details

• Technology used: Smappee energy system
• Energy sources: solar panels + grid import
• Key features: real-time monitoring, smart automation, optimised power factor (Cos Phi)
• Applications: lighting, heating/cooling, EV charging infrastructure

Site specifics

The business zone faced several challenges:

• Outdated, energy-hungry HQI lighting
• Heating and cooling systems running continuously
• Unpredictable, poorly optimised consumption patterns

With the growth of electric mobility, it also needed to integrate EV chargers without overloading its internal network.

Our response

With Smappee’s smart sensors and real-time analytics, the site is now able to:

• Priorise and optimise use of self-generated energy
• Supplement consumption with the lowest-cost grid energy
• Detect and correct inefficiencies
• Drastically reduce usage by switching to LED lighting
• Improve heating and cooling performance through automated control
• Manage EV charging without overloading the system, by intelligently distributing available power

This transformation delivers a more sustainable environment and precise energy management, making the business zone a concrete example of smart transition. Smappee becomes a true performance driver — a key tool for reducing environmental impact while keeping energy costs in check.
