You have invested in a photovoltaic system: a smart choice to reduce your reliance on the grid and make your home more sustainable.
But do you know how much energy you are producing right now? How much you are using, how much you are sending to the grid, and how much more you could use directly?
Many homeowners have solar panels but no simple, complete view of what is actually happening throughout the day.

Solar panels alone are not enough
Imagine a sunny day: your system is producing energy, but the washing machine, dishwasher, and other appliances are mostly used in the evening.
During the day, part of your solar production is exported to the grid. After sunset, your home starts drawing electricity from the grid again.
Without clear monitoring, it is difficult to know:
how much energy your photovoltaic system produces;
how much energy your home consumes;
when peak consumption occurs;
how much electricity is drawn from the grid;
how much solar energy is exported;
which habits could be improved.
Your photovoltaic system produces energy. Ekonex helps you understand it and use it more effectively.
Ekonex makes energy management intelligent
Ekonex integrates energy monitoring into your home automation system.
From a single interface, you can view:
photovoltaic energy production;
total household consumption;
energy drawn from the grid;
energy exported to the grid;
consumption trends;
your self-consumption level.
You no longer have to wait for your electricity bill to understand how you are using energy. You can see what is happening in real time and make better-informed decisions.

More self-consumption, less waste
The value of a photovoltaic system depends not only on how much energy it produces, but also on how much of that energy you can use directly.
By knowing when production is highest, you can schedule appliances and home systems more effectively.
When the technical configuration allows it, Ekonex can automatically coordinate loads such as:
washing machine and dishwasher;
heat pump;
heating and cooling;
domestic hot-water production;
electric vehicle charging;
other programmable devices.
Your home can use the available solar energy at the most convenient time, reducing its reliance on the grid.

Solar power and home automation working together
Ekonex does more than display numbers and charts.
Energy monitoring can work together with lighting, heating and cooling, solar shading, and other home systems. Production, consumption, and automation become parts of one integrated project.
The result is a more energy-aware, efficient home that is easier to manage.
Make every watt count
Do not leave the potential of your photovoltaic system unused.
With Ekonex, you can monitor your energy, understand consumption, and increase self-consumption through coordinated home management.
