Frequently Asked Questions
In which way are smart charger installation solutions better?
Our intelligent solutions enable efficient power control, ensuring reliable operation of the chargers without a negative impact on the grid. The biggest drawback tends to be the lack of power. Charging electric cars puts a massive load on the grid, which cannot cope with the strain if not properly designed. With our solutions we can efficiently regulate the power that is used for the main activity and charging. By storing the energy produced by photovoltaics in batteries, we optimize the use of the total power and use only the unconsumed part for the purpose of charging the batteries.
How to choose a suitable charger?
When choosing a charger, it is necessary to consider its performance. This depends on the energy consumption of the vehicles being charged. The choice between AC and DC depends on the charging time and investment costs. The ability to provide information is also an important factor. Most chargers can display and send information about the charging status. Some chargers can also communicate with each other and regulate the power available.
Which chargers are suitable for larger fleets?
For this purpose, we recommend homogeneous, interconnected AC chargers capable of communicating with each other. However, a number of factors need to be considered in the selection, including car downtime, fast charging requirements and grid power available.
What is performance management and why is it necessary?
Power management is the control of power as required. High power chargers or a larger number of systems puts a huge load on the grid that exceeds its capacity. That is why we only provide chargers with power that does not compromise the network and the operation of the main activity.
Using one complex system can streamline your entire operation and minimalise your electricity bills. Ensuring that energy production, consumption and storage are all in one place allows for higher efficiency. Thus, under ideal conditions, it is possible to become independent from the energy provider or at least to limit the purchase of energy.
Planning is the basis for a safe operation. By setting up a plan, you can optimise consumption and reduce costs.
Battery storage stores energy produced or bought cheaply for later use. Thanks to this mindful management, operating costs can be significantly reduced.
