SMA Commercial Energy Solution

Manage and distribute solar energy

Systematic and intelligent energy management

Supply your operational loads with solar power, charge your electric vehicles in a climate-friendly way and manage your heat supply in a PV-optimized manner. With the SMA Commercial Energy Solution, you can even partially automate these processes if desired. Intelligent energy management allows you to use your valuable solar energy with maximum efficiency.

Optimally coordinate all energy flows

Get the most out of your energy system with the SMA Commercial Energy Solutions. Rule-based energy management lets you use the maximum possible amount of your own electricity, charge your electric vehicle fleet in a climate-friendly way, cap expensive load peaks and benefit from affordable solar power.

Managing SMA Commercial Energy Solution optimally and avoiding load peaks

04:30
It is early in the morning and it is all go in the industrial bakery, where the ovens have to be fired up. The PV system is not yet supplying power. This means that a large amount of grid power has to be purchased in addition. A load peak is imminent – and that can become expensive.

Late in the morning, the PV system provides more solar power than is needed for operations. The surplus power is temporarily stored in the battery-storage systems for later use, rather than being fed into the grid.

18:30
It is all go once again in the evening. Lots of appliances – cooling systems, ventilation, lights and so on – are in operation and another load peak is imminent because the PV system is no longer providing sufficient power. But the battery-storage systems are fully charged and so can be used for powering the appliances. No power – or, at the very least, less power – has to be purchased. After all, it is still very expensive at this time.
