Homsphere offers an intelligent, IoT-based solution for sustainable living that enables residents to manage their energy consumption efficiently. The platform integrates solar panels, battery storage and home automation to optimize energy demand and reduce dependence on the public grid. With an intuitive app, users can monitor their energy usage and make savings while reducing their carbon footprint.
A combination of software and hardware makes it possible to significantly increase the proportion of solar energy consumed in the building. The PV energy generated on the roof is temporarily stored in various storage systems such as batteries, hot water systems or electric vehicles. These flexible storage options can increase the efficiency of energy utilization and significantly reduce the residents' energy costs.
In addition to the efficient use of energy within a building, the solution also enables the creation of virtual grids in which buildings can exchange stored energy with each other. Larger housing cooperatives in particular benefit from this technology, as they can organize and optimize electricity trading between the various residential units. This innovative method helps to drive forward the energy transition and maximize the consumption of renewable energy sources.
A central aim of this technology is the flexible use of surplus energy and its storage in order to draw on these reserves in times of high demand or low electricity generation. In Germany, the potential of electric vehicles as mobile energy storage systems is being emphasized. Thanks to bidirectional charging, these vehicles can be charged when there is a surplus of energy and discharged again when there is a shortage. This advanced solution makes a significant contribution to stabilizing the electricity grid and supports the successful implementation of the energy transition.
