Invested in solar panels? Great news for a carbon-neutral future, and your wallet.
Solar panels pay off especially when the sun is shining, i.e. around noon.
For a typical family, self-consumption is 28%*. The average injection rates for the period Jan- May ‘24 were 2.87c€/kWh where the average consumption rates were still 28c€/kWh, 10-fold!
So by increasing your self-consumption, by storing locally produced energy in your home battery, an electric boiler, or the electric car, you can firmly increase your self-consumption and save heavily on your bill!
And with Synkee, this is literally one button away from you.
We squeeze the last drop of energy out of your solar panels.
If your charging station allows it, Synkee makes sure charging is done at lower power levels, allowing you to store even more of your production in your EV.
That way, the charging session can be started earlier, and ended later. And will charge anyway even when the sun is less bright.
Another penny for your wallet, you're welcome!
And in 2025, we will go even further...
Synkee will also work predictively and adjust the charging schedule so that the maximum solar output goes to your car. So you can be sure that you are always charging in the greenest and cheapest way possible.
If the weather turns out to be unpredictable, no problem, because Synkee constantly monitors the weather forecast and adjusts the schedule accordingly.
And if you have a dynamic energy contract, and your solar inverter allows you to change its yield curve, Synkee makes sure that no injections are made into the grid at times when prices are negative. That's how you save again.
Yes, we know, sorry about the ‘lost’ green energy but rest assured there will be enough green power on the grid and by not putting it on the grid, you have just helped keep it in balance.
