External Factors for System Optimization

External factors are used to make more effective decisions, creating new possibilities.

Buying and selling energy at favorable times based on the current kWh price

To engage in energy trading, a dynamic energy contract is required. A dynamic contract has a different price for each hour of each day. On the EPEX Day-Ahead market, all parties interested in buying and selling energy can view the daily (hourly) prices and trading volumes. Through an Application Programming Interface (API) connection, the SolarGateway can communicate with an energy trading entity to automate this process.

Use of weather forecasts

The SolarGateway can make decisions in controlling consumers based on the weather forecasts. Using our API, the SolarGateway can communicate with the OpenWeather platform to retrieve current weather data, forecasts, and historical information.

Grid Congestion

Due to the growth of sustainable energy generation, the maximum capacity of the power grid has been reached. As a result, companies are no longer allowed to supply energy back to the grid, which is referred to as grid congestion. If a company wishes to pursue sustainability or reduce energy costs with solar panels, they can do so with the SolarGateway. the generated energy is first distributed as efficiently as possible and devices are controlled as smartly as possible before the SolarGateway dynamically reduces inverters when there is more generation than consumption. This helps align energy supply and demand more effectively.

Simple energy management through the online portal.

Through an advanced online portal, the installation can be configured and monitored from anywhere in the world. This makes the system entirely plug and play, allowing end-users to accurately track consumption and yields and enabling installers to remotely manage their systems.

In addition to the standard functionalities, the SolarGateway also offers custom solutions. This includes collaborations with grid operators or the control of specific (heavy) appliances and machines. The possibilities are endless.

System Safety

There are many more possibilities in the field of system safety.

Integration with Building Management System

By connecting the SolarGatewayPRO to the building management system, comfort or climate systems in a building can also be controlled. This integrates all technical installations into a single system, simplifying control.

Temperature Monitoring in Distribution Panel

A distribution panel for a PV installation can generate two to three times more heat, causing internal temperatures to rise to unsafe levels. The SolarGatewayPRO can measure temperature using temperature sensors and take action based on the readings.

Optimal Safety with the New Generation Arc Fault Detection – AADU

Recent incident studies have shown that fires in PV installations and energy storage systems are caused by electrical arcs. Poorly connected plug connections and exposure of plugs to the elements are among the causes of these arcs. The AADU arc fault detector is the solution to prevent arcs in PV installations and energy storage systems. AADU works in most applications and is brand-independent. It detects every arc and minimizes false alarms in any DC system. The SolarGatewayPRO makes this arc fault detection even smarter and ensures that the system is disconnected upon detection.

FAQs

Who is the SolarGateway suitable for?

The SolarGateway is suitable for anyone who wants to use their generated energy as efficiently as possible. Whether it's a residential home with a heat pump, solar panels, and an electric vehicle charging station, an office with solar panels and multiple charging stations, a factory with several large energy consumers, or a farm looking to use excess energy to heat their water for later use. The SolarGateway can also be used to limit consumption or generation in an installation if the connection capacity is not sufficient. It is also highly suitable for providing insight into energy consumption.

How can I implement the SolarGateway in my building?

In fact, the SolarGateway is almost plug-and-play. Connect the inverters of your PV installation, your charging stations, kWh meters, and any other devices to be controlled to the SolarGateway, and then you can set up all the controls yourself through the simple templates via HUB.

Where does the SolarGateway come from?

The SolarGateway is a Dutch product from Embion BV. This means that everything is produced in the Netherlands and all data is stored within the EU.

Who can install the SolarGateway?

Any (DC) installer can install the SolarGatewa.

Who has access to my data?

By default, no external individuals have access to the data. The owner can decide who may potentially have access. Data* in the HUB can be used for analysis and optimization. *Note: Non-sensitive data, such as plant data, can have customer details and names detached for privacy.

What is a Modbus protocol?

Modbus is a communication protocol that can be established over both TCP/IP and a dedicated connection. Because manufacturers release certain features of their devices, the SolarGatewaypro can connect to the device via the standardized Modbus protocol.

How does the SolarGateway determine which consumers are allowed to use power?

The control happens entirely automatically based on the available power and set preferences. External factors, such as energy buying and selling, are also used to optimize the system and make more effective decisions.

If there is network congestion at my location, can I still install solar panels?

Even in the case of network congestion, the SolarGateway is an ideal solution. The inverter(s) can be dynamically reduced to limit or minimize the feed-in to the grid when more energy is generated than consumed. This way, energy supply and demand will be better aligned.
