“Without intelligent energy management, the enormous potential of photovoltaics cannot be exploited,” explained SMA CEO Pierre-Pascal Urbon. “SMA invested in software developments at an early stage and has already connected more than a quarter of a million PV systems worldwide with our Sunny Portal.” With our Sunny Home Manager 2.0, private operators of small to medium-sized PV systems can already optimize their system and use even more solar power for their own consumption. At the end of the year, our new energy management platform ennexOS will provide commercial customers with the opportunity to connect PV systems with air conditioning and storage systems, for example, in order to use as much solar power as possible directly at the production location. In this context, we are of course delighted that the performance of our energy management solutions has also been recognized by Navigant Research in its recent study.”
The following criteria were included in Navigant Research’s analysis of the 15 leading providers of monitoring and energy management systems: vision; go-to market strategy; partners; technology; geographic reach; sales, marketing, and distribution; product performance; product portfolio and ecosystem; and staying power. A summary of the results is available on the Internet at https://www.navigantresearch.com/research/navigant-research-leaderboard-residential-solar-monitoring-and-hems.
