Managing Surplus Energy from Solar PV
Don’t Sell Your Energy Below Value. Use It Wisely.
Unused Solar Surplus Is Wasted Potential
If surplus electricity from solar PV isn’t managed, it often flows into the grid — and instead of generating profit, it can result in a loss. During negative SPOT price periods, producers may even have to pay to feed electricity into the grid. The core issue is that most facilities don’t know about surpluses in advance and therefore can’t respond in time. Without proper planning, the opportunity to use your own solar energy — through consumption shifts, storage, or community sharing — is lost. This leads not only to missed savings, but also to a longer return on investment for both solar PV and battery storage.
Keeping Surplus Under Control — Without Losses
Storing Surplus in Batteries or Other Technologies
FLOWBOX EMOS redirects excess solar generation to battery storage, electric boilers, cooling systems, hot water or compressed air units.
Sharing Surplus Within a Site or Energy Community
Extra energy can be used in other parts of the facility or shared with partners in a local energy community.
Investment Planning Based on Historical Data
FLOWBOX analyzes consumption and surplus trends and helps evaluate the ROI of storage technologies.
Forecasting Surplus and Planning Its Use
The system predicts when a surplus will occur and proposes how to best use it — before it's lost.
Result: Your Solar Power Works for You
With FLOWBOX EMOS, you can make full use of your solar surplus. By actively controlling consumption technologies, the system stores excess energy in various forms — including heat, cooling, water, or compressed air. This increases self-consumption, reduces energy waste, lowers operating costs, and shortens the payback period on your renewable energy investments.
