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. However, connecting and optimising home energy flows between PV and electric vehicle charging opens up Smart Charging possibilities.

For example, services that enable the automated and optimised use of dynamic tariff structures and dynamic grid capacity management may help reduce potential financial burdens. 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 and benefits for providers and end customers realised.

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, just like the benefits from such an integrated solution.

Cost and emissions savings

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

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 utilise dynamic electricity tariffs leading up to 20% less charging costs. Also possible: fulfilling grid capacity constraints.

Future-ready

Never settle for the status quo – once installed, GreenCom’s future-ready 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 seamlessly incorporating the electric vehicle and the charging station into the home energy system. Its capability to connect to all distributed assets lays the foundation for high optimisation impact – be it via 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 solar energy from the roof to charge electric vehicles and may double the share of self-consumed PV energy – thus minimising CO2 emissions and costs. 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. What is more, this charging experience fully reflects customer mobility preferences, such as departure times, and smoothly interacts with other energy assets in the household. This boosts customer engagement, saves costs and decreases the CO2 footprint at the same time.
