Energy management system · Solar panels
Large solar panel installations generate a lot of sustainable energy, but without smart control, that energy is often used or returned at the wrong times. The consequences: peak load, negative feed-in tariffs and loss of revenue due to curtailment, the forced limitation of generation to avoid costs or grid problems.
Solar panels
The solution? Smartbox: a smart energy management system (EMS) that automatically controls solar panel installations for maximum efficiency. Discover the possibilities of Smartbox and offer this innovative system to your customers.
Explanation
An energy management system is a smart device that ensures that the energy generated by solar panel installations is used, stored or returned at the right time.
An EMS for solar panels analyzes energy consumption, market prices and grid load in real time, and automatically controls batteries, inverters and other assets. It not only prevents waste and feed-in losses, but also generates additional income through smart trading on energy markets.
Without EMS, you supply electricity when the price is low or even negative. That costs money instead of yielding anything.
An EMS distributes energy consumption intelligently throughout the day, smoothing out peaks and preventing unnecessary costs.
The system knows exactly when to charge or discharge the battery for maximum financial benefit.
Smartbox
Smartbox is more than an energy monitoring system: it is the brain behind an efficient and profitable solar panel installation.
The system analyzes energy consumption and storage capacity in real time, and automatically adjusts the charging and discharging time of batteries to current electricity prices and the consumption profile. This means that electricity is stored fully automatically when it is cheap and used at times of high yield.
The system takes advantage of opportunities for peak smoothing and energy transactions. End users not only use their own generation optimally, but also generate additional income through smart energy management.
This makes the energy supply more stable and profitable for business users.
Smartbox is an innovative energy management system for much more than just solar panel installations. The system also controls wind turbines, charging stations, battery storage, generators and cooling.
Thanks to this flexibility, the system is a total solution for advanced energy management, regardless of the size or composition of the installation.
Smartbox
Smartbox Lite is the smart start for business small consumption (3×63 / 3×80 A): it controls solar, battery and generator at the EPEX price, is ready for after settlement and supports up to approx. 10 assets.
Smartbox Regular (up to approx. 50 assets) and Smartbox Pro (50+ assets) also market the flexibility of the installation on balancing markets (FCR, aFRR) via aggregators and also control wind and cooling. Pro is intended for large-scale consumption, industry, agriculture and multi-site, with a customized management strategy and asset insight down to cell and string level.

Smartbox Portal
Truly smart energy management starts with insight. The Smartbox Portal on my.smartboxpower.com and the Smartbox app (iOS and Android) offer installers, energy companies and end users a real-time overview of energy consumption, storage and feed-in. All relevant data, such as EPEX prices, grid consumption, battery status and yield from solar panels or wind turbines, is clearly arranged.
Installers and energy companies manage all their projects from one central environment, including detailed performance and system information per customer. Users can immediately see how much they save or earn, with predictions and comparisons based on their profile.
The Smartbox is compatible with radiation meters and weather stations, allowing you to make targeted predictions. This way, installers and energy companies can not only measure, but also think ahead and proactively advise their customers on the smart use of energy.

Smartbox Power
The energy market is changing rapidly. Feed-in tariffs are becoming uncertain, peak loads are increasing and more and more companies are manually switching off their solar panel installations to avoid costs.
That can and must be done faster. That's why we founded Smartbox Power, with a team of experts in energy, automation and software development. Our mission? Providing a smart, fully automatic solution that allows installers and energy companies to help their customers get the most out of sustainable energy.
Our own software is the heart of Smartbox. From the Netherlands, our R&D team continuously develops new functions and integrations so that installers and energy companies can get more out of their solar energy projects.
