Electric vehicle charging at home: smart & green

Integrate Smart Charging with Home Energy Management to unlock financial and environmental benefits

The number of electric vehicles is growing fast, and every day, new solar PV systems are added to rooftops. This saves costs for end customers and reduces emissions. Connecting and optimising home energy flows between PV and electric vehicle charging opens up Smart Charging possibilities.

Services that enable the automated and optimised use of dynamic tariff structures and dynamic grid capacity management may help reduce potential financial burdens, for example. In addition, the demand flexibility of electric vehicles can be aggregated and marketed to the wholesale or ancillary service markets, thus actively supporting grid stability and security of supply.

With GreenCom Networks’ Smart Charging Solution, all these functionalities can be implemented easily, realising benefits for providers and end customers.

Benefit from a clever combination: Smart Charging and Home Energy Management

Smart Charging providers are plenty. So are Home Energy Management solutions. However, an integrated solution optimising the charging of electric vehicles and all other assets in the house is exceptional – as are the benefits from such an integrated solution.

Lower costs, fewer emissions

Save money and help nature – financial and environmental benefits from energy savings help everyone.

Fully integrated EVs

No more switching apps or fiddling with different values – an electric charging experience fully integrated with the home energy system makes it a seamless experience.

Smart optimisation

Expect high optimisation impact – double the share of self-utilised PV and cut charging costs by 50% or use dynamic electricity tariffs for savings of up to 20% on charging costs. Grid capacity constraints cal also be fulfilled.

Future-proof

Never settle for the status quo – once installed, GreenCom’s future-proof infrastructure makes new value creation easy, even including VPP extension opportunities.

Smart Charging within the home

Connect seamlessly with the home energy system

GreenCom’s deep integration with distributed home assets and the energy management potential allows for the seamless incorporation of the electric vehicle and charging station into the home energy system. Its ability to connect to all distributed assets lays the foundation for high optimisation impact – be it via Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP), Modbus or GreenCom’s custom API.

Optimise & charge electric vehicles

GreenCom’s platform delivers optimisation for a variety of use cases: Solar charging uses energy from roof-mounted solar PV to charge electric vehicles and may double the share of self-consumed PV energy – significantly minimising CO2 emissions and electricity costs for the end customer. Following time-of-use tariffs or grid capacity objectives keeps costs and peak usage low while avoiding grid penalties. Of course, all within the local regulatory framework.

Save costs and create engagement

GreenCom’s optimisation provides a holistic charging experience and delivers concrete added value, such as increased self-consumption and avoided grid cost. This charging experience fully reflects customer mobility preferences, such as departure times, and smoothly interacts with other energy assets in the household. Customer engagement is boosted, costs are cut and CO2 emissions are reduced – all in one go.
