Synergi smart electricity platform now supports solar inverters and electric vehicles to give users holistic control of major electricity resources at home without additional hardware.
Helsinki (June 7th, 2023) – Synergi, a Finnish technology company accelerating the transition toward sustainable energy sources with smart software solutions for consumers and businesses, announces it has launched a new solar monitoring service that gives real-time visibility to residential solar panel owners on their production and a partnership with Atum to make the solar buying journey more seamless.
Earlier this year, Synergi launched its smart electricity platform to support European households and individuals to optimize their consumption from most major home electrical devices when it’s the cheapest and produced from sustainable energy sources. The service has already helped users with a spot price energy contract save on average 40% on their electric vehicle charging costs. In addition to supporting smart charging for 90% of EV brands, Synergi now offers a solar inverter integration for the most common brands, such as Sofar, SMA, Fronius, Huawei, and many others.
With Synergi solar monitoring, consumers can align high electricity-consuming activities with the period when their solar system produces the maximum power by tracking their production in real-time within the platform.
“Solar monitoring is a critical step in residential solar panel ownership because it allows consumers to use data to make better decisions daily. For instance, by aligning high electricity-consuming activities with peak solar power production, consumers maximize cost-savings, enhance self-consumption, increase system efficiency, and reduce their environmental impact,” says Antti Hämmäinen, CEO and Co-Founder of Synergi.
Synergi also wants to enhance its smart electricity ecosystem with reseller and installer partners to serve its users as a one-stop-shop for consumers looking to smart up their consumption. The company has partnered with Atum, a Finnish solar installer that recognizes the solar buying experience for consumers is complex and fragmented.
“It is essential to build alliances with other players to deliver a smoother customer experience, especially post-installation, ” says Kalle Kaasinen, CEO & Co-founder at Atum. “It is challenging to find software solutions suited to the diverse needs of the modern smart electricity consumer. For instance, 30% of our existing solar panel customers also have electric vehicles, and most of them have already asked about better monitoring solutions and even EV solar charging,” says Kalle Kaasinen, CEO & Co-founder at Atum.
“We are excited to be working with Atum and seeing how our smart electricity platform complements their customer journey so users can benefit the most of their investment, ” says Hämmainen. “We look forward to building more partnerships in Finland and Europe and developing new core functionalities in our platform. For instance, we are also developing solar charging for EVs and support for heat pumps to help households to make the most out of their own, emission-free electricity.”
“Building this collaboration with Synergi already gives our customers immediate access to relevant data they can use daily, be happier with their investment, and encourage their neighbours to go solar too,” adds Kaasinen.
Synergi solar monitoring is live and free to use in Finnish and English for households and individuals in most European countries: Austria, Belgium, Estonia, France, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, and the UK.
