Smart Home DC Network: The Control Paradox A case study from our flagship installation The Trap Almost Everyone Falls Into Imagine this scenario: You're on vacation. 500 kilometers from home. Your phone shows a notification: Firmware update available for your inverter. Security patch. Should be installed promptly. You open the VPN, connect to your home
Autarky Autarky, Robustness and Resilience – Three Pillars of Future-Proof Housing Why Think About This at All? Recent years have shown that supply infrastructures are more vulnerable than assumed. Large-scale power outages, gas supply shortages, overloaded grids. These are no longer hypothetical scenarios but documented events. Anyone planning or renovating a house today faces a fundamental question: How dependent do I
Autarky Featured Experimental System J1 Prague Where there's a will, there's a way. Without regard for losses, there's even more.
battery Battery Design Batteries may not be the heart or brain of a system, but try running the heart or brain without an energy storage (glucose)!
Smart Home Dynamic load In our country, electricity comes from the socket. But how does it get to the socket and what does it cost?
HowTo Dimensioning for the winter Anyone can generate electricity from PV systems in summer. We tell you what you need to pay attention to in order to achieve relevant yields even in winter.
Energy Solar yield variability Let there be light! Unless you live above a polar circle, you can count on one thing: Tomorrow is another day.
Autarky PV generator design If you know a lot about PV generator design, your solar power plant can provide electricity even when others have given up long ago.
Off-Grid What is PV oversizing? PV oversizing is a design principle whereby the installed PV peak power is deliberately not fully utilized. This allows reasonable yields to be achieved in low-yield periods.
Energy Fill up the roof! It's not your needs that determine the size of the plant - it's the other way around. But don't worry, you don't have to limit yourself - on the contrary.
basics Battery Practicability Time is money. The best battery is of little use if you have to constantly take care of it, or - worse - hire a caretaker.
battery Battery Lifespan Longevity is a matter of the battery chemistry chosen, but also of the overall design.
Energy Know Your Consumption Detailed knowledge of one's own consumption helps to size a power plant correctly - even if one's own consumption looks quite different after its commissioning.
Energy Energy surplus - what now? There is no such thing as too much energy. Energy generation can be throttled or the energy can be used for other purposes.
