Sustainable Energy Solutions
The world of energy supply is in a state of upheaval. Companies are increasingly looking for environmentally friendly solutions to reduce their ecological footprint. Sustainable energy solutions and energy management can help to increase efficiency and save costs. But what are energy solutions? And which intelligent products contribute to sustainable energy management?
What are energy solutions?
There is no clear definition of the term energy solutions. Often, it is used to refer to the entire building technology that generates energy or is intended to reduce or optimize energy consumption.
Basically, energy solutions include all types of heating systems, but also energy generators such as wind power and photovoltaic systems. Furthermore, building standards such as passive houses, energy-saving ventilation systems, efficient electricity storage systems, insulation and smart home systems are also considered sustainable energy solutions. Energy monitoring and management are also an important component.
Intelligent products for sustainable energy solutions
In addition to sustainable heat and power generation with heat pumps, solar or wind energy, smart energy monitoring is essential. The Shelly brand specializes in these intelligent and user-friendly solutions in the field of automation and energy management.
The high-quality products impress with their reliability and can be easily integrated into existing systems – from intelligent energy measurement and integrated thermal management to holistic smart home technologies. In addition to classic smart homes, the products are also suitable for use in industrial and commercial environments.
Intelligent energy measurement for the future with Shelly Pro 3EM
The Shelly Pro 3EM is ahead of its time. The innovative energy meter makes it possible to measure energy consumption in both directions. The device measures both the energy that is consumed and the energy that is produced.
For example, if the PV system produces more electricity than is currently being consumed, the heat pump automatically switches on to increase consumption. In this way, the energy produced is used efficiently. The Shelly energy meter provides significant data to maximize energy efficiency in various projects and areas of application, thereby minimizing costs – whether in private households or industrial plants.
Intelligent thermal management from Shelly
Efficient resource management is a priority in private households as well as in commercial and industrial environments and can take different forms. Can intelligent lighting management save energy, for example?
With the smart Shelly Plus 2PM flush-mounted relay, shades, for example, can be controlled automatically to regulate the room temperature when there is a lot of light. At the same time, opening the shades and measuring the brightness with light sensors can automatically switch off unnecessary light sources that would otherwise consume additional electricity.
Thanks to the precise control, the option for time schedules and the monitoring of power consumption, the control system not only helps to optimize energy consumption, but also contributes to a pleasant working environment with optimum light and heat conditions.
Smart home made easy with plug & play devices from Shelly
Smart home technologies can quickly become complex. Shelly’s Plug & Play devices, such as the practical Plus Plug S adapter plug, are designed to make the smart home approach accessible to everyone. The Plug & Play device requires no previous electrical knowledge and is simply plugged into the socket. This means that appliances and lamps, for example, can be controlled remotely.
A highlight of the adapter plugs: they become their own electricity meters and can therefore detect energy-intensive appliances or electronic products that are no longer fully functional, are already faulty or are simply not working as efficiently as they should.
The future of sustainable energy solutions
From smart lighting and control of appliances, doors, garage doors or shades to intelligent heating and air conditioning – with automation solutions from Shelly, sustainable energy management in the commercial and private sectors can be achieved without great effort. The comprehensive portfolio of energy-saving devices enables a process automation solution based on accurate energy analysis. Further advantages of Shelly products are
- No hub required
- Highly compatible with most home automation platforms, protocols and voice assistants
- No cloud required
