Can I See the Electricity Flow in My Home in Real Time?

Yes, with a solar panel system from EcoRay and our intelligent energy management, developed in collaboration with our skilled installers and partners, you can get a full overview of your electricity flow directly on your phone. Our system makes it easy and transparent to track your solar production, consumption, savings, and sold electricity – all in real time. Using advanced technology, including machine learning, we optimize your system so you get the most out of your solar energy. Here we explain how it works and why it's a gamechanger for your home.

Live View of Electricity Flow on Your Phone

Our intelligent energy management system, which we develop in collaboration with our installers and partners, gives you a clear picture of what is happening with the electricity in your home: Real-time data on the app: Via a user-friendly app on your iOS or Android phone, you can see exactly how much electricity your solar panels are producing, what your home is using, and what is being sent to or drawn from the grid. Data is updated every 10 seconds, so you are always up to date. What can you see? Production: How much electricity your solar panel system (e.g., a 12 kWp system producing 9,750–12,870 kWh/year) is currently making and over time. Consumption: How much electricity your home is using, e.g., for a heat pump, electric car, or household appliances. Savings: How much you save by using your own electricity instead of buying from the grid (up to DKK 14,000–16,800/year for a 12 kWp system with 10,000–12,000 kWh consumption). Sold electricity: How much surplus electricity you sell to the grid (e.g., 3,097–4,020 kWh/year, yielding DKK 3,097–6,030/year at DKK 1.00–1.50/kWh). Visual graphs: The app shows daily, weekly, and monthly overviews, so you can easily spot patterns and optimize your consumption.

Intelligent Control with Machine Learning

Our system uses machine learning to make your solar panel system smarter, in close collaboration with our installers and partners who ensure a seamless setup: Consumption optimization: Algorithms analyze weather data, electricity prices, and your consumption pattern to prioritize when you use solar energy, store it in the battery, or sell it to the grid. For example, the system charges your electric car with surplus electricity (up to 5,500 W if the system produces 6,000 W and the home uses 500 W), so you save as much as possible. Battery management: If you have a battery, the system ensures that electricity is stored when production is high or when electricity prices are low, and uses it when prices are high (e.g., during peak load periods). Grid balancing: The system decides when it is most economical to sell surplus electricity based on electricity prices and weather forecasts, so you maximize your income.

Why EcoRay Makes It Easy and Transparent

EcoRay acts as your partner and mediates the entire process, so you get a transparent and user-friendly experience: Collaboration with installers and partners: Our qualified installers and technology partners set up the system correctly and integrate it with the app, so you get a live view without hassle. Transparency: We provide clear reports on production, savings, and sold electricity, so you always know what your system is performing. For example, a 12 kWp system can cover 60–75% of a 10,000–12,000 kWh consumption, save you DKK 14,000–16,800/year, and earn DKK 3,097–6,030/year from sales. User-friendly app: The app is designed to be intuitive, so you can easily control and monitor your system, e.g., prioritize electric car charging or underfloor heating with surplus electricity. Machine learning in the background: Our system works automatically to optimize your consumption and income, so you don't have to think about it.

Example: This Is What It Looks Like with a 12 kWp System

With a 12 kWp system, you get: Production: 9,750–12,870 kWh/year, thanks to our panels' 30% higher yield. Self-sufficiency: With a battery, you use 5,850–9,653 kWh yourself, saving you DKK 14,000–16,800/year (at DKK 2/kWh). Sold electricity: Surplus of 3,097–4,020 kWh is sold for DKK 3,097–6,030/year (at DKK 1.00–1.50/kWh). Live view: The app shows in real time, e.g., that your system is producing 6,000 W, the home is using 500 W, the electric car is charging with 5,500 W, and the battery is storing the surplus.
