Cost-optimized charging of your own vehicle fleet: SMA and coneva integrate generation and utilization of climate-friendly energy

“This solution is closing the gap between production and consumption. It is a crucial step to meet the rising demands of companies for sustainable and efficient mobility,” said Jochen Schneider, coneva general manager. “coneva has already gained extensive experience in load control for vehicle fleets and is now combining this with SMA’s decades of experience in energy solutions and electric charging. Together, we can offer customized solutions to meet our customer’s requirements.”

“Integrating coneva’s dynamic load control and billing management into the  SMA Commercial eMobility Solution will make it even more cost-effective for businesses to operate and manage their electric fleets,” explained Nikolaus Morbach, Executive Vice President Commercial & Industrial Solutions at SMA. “Moreover, we make it easier for solar power professionals to set up the charging infrastructure through perfectly coordinated hardware components and a comprehensive, integrated service package.”

Using charging stations simultaneously for even more efficient energy utilization coneva load control optimizes loading times and costs by intelligently distributing the available energy, thereby avoiding peak loads. This enables the simultaneous and efficient use of multiple charging stations with integrated photovoltaics and battery systems, without compromising grid stability. Vehicles can be optimally charged, ensuring maximum availability. The dynamic electricity tariff coneva Flex for battery storage systems and charging stations provides additional benefits by sourcing low-cost electric current from the utility grid.
