Problem
Households and small businesses face high electricity costs and complex management of multiple renewable energy components such as solar panels, batteries, heat pumps, and electric-vehicle chargers. Integrating these devices and optimizing their operation to use cheap, clean electricity requires specialized expertise and continuous monitoring.
Solution
1KOMMA5° offers a turnkey, AI-driven energy management platform that connects photovoltaic systems, storage units, heat pumps, and wallboxes into a single, self-optimizing network. The Heartbeat AI continuously monitors production, consumption, and real-time market prices, automatically shifting loads to periods of low or renewable electricity and maximizing self-consumption. Users receive a unified hardware package, professional installation by local certified partners, and a free mobile app for monitoring and manual overrides. The system also enables participation in dynamic electricity tariffs, turning residential assets into a virtual power plant that contributes to grid stability while reducing the owner's energy bill.
Target Audience
The primary customers are residential homeowners and small commercial property owners in Germany and Europe who want to combine solar generation, storage, heat pumps, and EV charging into an automated, cost-saving solution.
Features
- Heartbeat AI engine that aggregates data from PV, battery, heat pump, and EV charger and runs real-time optimization algorithms
- Automatic load shifting to the cheapest grid price periods and prioritization of self-generated solar power
- Seamless integration with dynamic electricity tariffs (e.g., Dynamic Pulse) for cost-effective grid purchases, with electricity purchased at the spot market when prices are lowest and excess sold back when prices are highest
- Cloud-based software updates and AI model improvements without user intervention
- Local certified partner network handling design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance
- Free 1KOMMA5° mobile app for real-time monitoring, priority setting, and comfort preferences
- Compatibility with major inverter and battery brands, including KOSTAL, through open APIs
- Virtual power plant capability, currently controlling over 500 megawatts of flexibility capacity across residential systems
