Coming soon: Autarco Energy Management
Autarco has been dedicated to providing complete solar solutions to PV installers for over 12 years. With the rapid acceleration of the energy transition and the increasing electrification of homes and businesses our understanding of a "complete solution" has evolved. We recognize that achieving the full potential of our solar systems means not only maximizing energy production, but also unlocking the full potential of savings for your and your customers. Especially now, with more grid congestion and increased occurrence of negative prices posing a potential cost for PV owners who feed their excess solar energy back to the grid.
In response to these challenges and expanding on Autarco’s experience in providing complete grid tied PV systems, Autarco introduces a seamlessly integrated solar solution that combines solar PV systems, battery storage and an advanced Energy Management System (EMS). This offer addresses and capitalizes on grid imbalances and ensures financial viability for consumers. The solutions are scalable, allowing consumers to start with a basic solar PV system and expand to include a battery, switch to dynamic pricing and use our energy management functions whenever they want.
Despite changing market conditions, these solutions demonstrate significant financial benefits. Autarco's seamless solutions, integrating hardware and software, offer consumers the most effective way to manage their energy production and consumption, allowing them to take charge in the evolving energy market. We strive to achieve €0 energy bills for homes and businesses everywhere, by delivering renewable energy technologies and seamless services.
Dynamic pricing is now more important than ever
Variable or dynamic pricing is a model where electricity prices fluctuate based on supply and demand. While many customers are accustomed to fixed energy price contracts, switching to dynamic pricing can yield significant savings for PV owners who incur costs for exporting to the grid, especially during times of negative energy prices. By responding to these price changes, you can lower your energy bills and get the most out of your solar energy investment. Autarco Energy Management ensures that you can effortlessly take advantage of these market dynamics.
Negative Price Response
We are pleased to unveil the first of many features in our upcoming Autarco Energy Management: the automatic Negative Price Response (NPR). When electricity prices become negative, instead of feeding your excess solar energy back into the grid and incurring a cost, the system will automatically stop energy feedback, saving you money and maximizing the efficiency of your Autarco solar energy system. Our software determines how much limitation is required based on your system’s generation and your consumption. At this moment, the NPR feature is live for a selected group of beta-testers, already creating savings and will be widely available soon.
Autarco Energy Management is simple
Autarco’s EMS solution doesn't require additional hardware, technical installations or dealing with new apps or suppliers. Activating the Autarco Energy Management will happen in your online MyAutarco environment. When market energy prices drop below zero, our Negative Price Response solution automatically kicks in to help you save money – no extra effort required on your part.
