E-SMART
The digital heart of your comprehensive energy solution
E-SMART integrates electricity, heating and mobility into a single intelligent system.
It collects all relevant system data – such as PV generation, surplus energy, grid consumption and self-consumption – controls the connected components and ensures the system operates in an optimally coordinated manner.
The aim is clear: to use as much self-generated energy as possible, reduce energy costs and maintain a clear overview at all times.
The system continuously records all relevant energy data from the connected components and displays it in real time. This provides a complete picture of energy generation and consumption.
Recording of PV generation
The current output of the solar panel system and the daily energy production are displayed. This means you can see at any time how much electricity is being generated.
Measurement of grid consumption and feed-in
The system indicates whether energy is being drawn from the public grid or fed into it. It also displays the daily figures for energy consumption and feed-in.
Calculation of self-consumption / self-sufficiency
The system calculates the figures and displays them, showing how efficiently electricity is being used in the building.
Display of battery storage status
It shows whether the battery is charging or discharging and what the current charge level is.
Real-time energy flow visualisation
The dashboard displays a graphical representation of the current energy flow between the solar panel system, the storage unit, household consumption, the grid, the heat pump and the wallbox.
Historical analyses
Daily, monthly, annual and cumulative reports are available. These display energy trends and yield figures in graph form.
Alarm and status display
Active faults or events are displayed and can be acknowledged. A status log records relevant messages.
Your access to E-SMART
You can manage your energy easily and transparently via the E-SMART app or the M-TEC portal.
E-SMART App
The E-SMART app provides mobile access to the system. It displays energy flows, storage status and consumption data. Some devices can be controlled.
M-TEC Portal
The M-TEC Portal provides a system overview, load profile analysis, data evaluation and device configuration.
- Live View (accessed via the M-TEC Portal): Displays the current energy flow and detailed views of individual components. Historical data can be analysed. Devices can be switched manually.
Seamlessly integrated
heat pump
Generate heat when energy is available
E-SMART controls M-TEC heat pumps with stepless, modulating operation. Heat pumps from other manufacturers can also be integrated. (SG-Ready)
Use of surplus solar power
As soon as there is sufficient solar power available, the heat pump starts automatically or increases its output. Surplus energy is converted into heat and stored in the hot water tank or buffer tank. The output continuously adjusts to the available energy. If the surplus decreases, the system reduces the output or stops running. In this way, solar power is efficiently converted into stored heat.
- Extension with the Energy Cloud
When used in conjunction with the Energy Cloud, the system is also adjusted to variable electricity prices. The heat pump operates primarily during periods of low-cost electricity. During periods of high prices, the output is reduced without noticeably affecting living comfort. This automatically reduces running costs.
Supplementary heating for the heat pump
The add-on module allows a continuously variable heating element to be integrated into the heating system. When there is sufficient solar power, the heat pump activates the heating element. The output is precisely adjusted to the available energy. In this way, every surplus ray of sunshine is stored as heat. This requires an M-TEC heat pump and a compatible heating element controller, such as the Energy-Heater.
photovoltaic system
Your own rooftop energy source
The photovoltaic module tracks generation, grid consumption and self-consumption. E-SMART automatically prioritises all connected loads. First, the current demand in the home is met. Next, the battery storage system is charged. Finally, flexible loads are supplied. The heat pump can be given priority for drawing energy during surplus generation.
Battery storage
Storing electricity and using it where it’s needed
The battery storage module stores surplus solar power and makes it available again when needed. The stored electricity powers the home, the heat pump or the energy charger. This significantly reduces the amount of electricity drawn from the grid.
- Expansion with the Energy Cloud (currently in the beta testing phase)
In conjunction with variable electricity tariffs, the battery storage system automatically charges when prices are low and discharges energy when prices are high.
This means the storage system serves not only as a backup but also as an active factor in improving cost-effectiveness.
Energy-Charger
Solar power becomes traction power
E-SMART intelligently controls the Energy Charger according to the selected mode.
Photovoltaic-optimised charging
The electric vehicle is preferably charged using self-generated solar power.
Fast charging
The vehicle is charged at maximum power. Electricity is supplied from the grid and, optionally, from the battery storage system. After a set period of time, the system automatically switches back to photovoltaic mode.
Additional features
- Use of the battery storage system for charging can be enabled or disabled
- Customisable charging times
- Automatic switching between single-phase and three-phase charging
This ensures flexible and cost-effective charging of the electric vehicle.
Expansion with the Energy Cloud
- The Energy Cloud’s mobility module schedules charging processes based on electricity price forecasts and individual settings. The vehicle is charged at the desired time. Charging takes place when the electricity price is at its lowest.
Monitoring a second electric vehicle
E-SMART records all charging data. Power, energy consumption and the charging history can be viewed in the app at any time.
Energy-Heater
Hot water powered by solar energy
The Energy Heater uses surplus energy from the photovoltaic system to heat water. The desired target temperature is set in the E-SMART configuration. The heating element is only activated when there is sufficient energy available. Optionally, a minimum temperature can be set at which mains or storage electricity is also used. This ensures that hot water is produced in a targeted and economical manner.
The principle behind E-SMART
E-SMART views energy as an integrated system.
Electricity is stored, converted into heat or used for transport. The system automatically decides what makes the most sense at any given moment.
The result is a connected, cost-effective and future-proof integrated energy solution.
More self-consumption. More independence. Clear control over your energy.
