From France
Maturity stage TRL 9 / CRI 2 - Commercial Trial Small Scale

Our smart solar router is plugged to your home appliances, and monitors the excess solar power generated by your PV panels. When there is enough excess to turn on your appliances (water heater, heat pump, EV charger ...), it will do so automatically : without having to think about it, all your big appliances will run on free, clean energy.

The Environmental Benefits

  • Households with solar panels use only 30–40% of their production, losing 100–500 €/year by selling the surplus at a low price
  • Because everyone injects electricity at the same time, the grid is saturated and often forces large solar farms to shut down, wasting clean energy
  • Meanwhile, we still burn fossil fuels in the evening to heat water — energy we could’ve used for free during the day
  • The solution ensures that you use a maximum of the green energy produced by your PV panels (with a 0 gCO2/kWh marginal carbon emission), instead of using electricity in the evening, produced by gas power plant (500gCO2/kWh) or worse
  • By using solar electricity during the day instead of the evening, we help flatten the peaks in electricity demand. This means fewer fossil fuel plants need to stay on standby just for a few high-demand hours, increasing reliance on renewables

The Financial Benefits

  • In France, from the 1st of October 2025, any PV installation with a solution such as ours will have a reduced V.A.T. (from 20% to 5,5%). This makes our solution cheaper than the alternative on day 1 !
  • By shifting your appliances to run when your PV panels produce, we allow you to self-consume electricity, instead of selling it for cheap to the grid and buying it back, usually 5x more expensive, in the evening. This leads to savings of about €200/year
