Energostatby JETPARTNER

Use at home what would otherwise go to waste.

Energostat is a small box for your solar system. When the panels produce more than the house uses, it sends the surplus to your car, water heater, pool or heat pump.

For systems with Victron Energy equipment.
Developed and installed by JETPARTNER.

What Energostat is doing nowThe sun's out and there's energy to spare. I'm sending it to the car and water heater.

Why

Today, your rooftop surplus flows into the grid for next to nothing.

For power exported at midday you get only a fraction of what you pay for grid electricity in the evening. Off-grid, the surplus is wasted altogether. Energostat sends it where you can use it at home.

How it works

Three steps, over and over.

  1. Measures the surplus

    The box is connected to your Victron equipment. It always knows how much the panels are producing, how much the house is drawing and how full the battery is.

  2. Decides

    It picks the appliance that gets the surplus according to your priorities, while keeping an eye on the battery reserve and the main breaker.

  3. Sends the energy on

    It charges the car smoothly, adding and trimming power with the sun. The water heater, pool and heat pump are switched via contactors.

What it controls

Car, water heater, pool, heat pump.

  • Electric car

    Adjusts the charging current smoothly to match the surplus. It can also charge to a target, say 80% by 7:00.

  • Water heater

    Switched on via a contactor when there's enough surplus. It heats water with energy that would otherwise flow away.

  • Pool

    Filtration and heating are switched on via a contactor when there's energy to spare.

  • Heat pump

    Started via a contactor when there's enough sun.

  • Other appliances

    We connect them via a contactor. Each appliance has its own priority.

Safeguards

Won't drain the house. Won't trip the breaker. Doesn't need the internet.

  • Battery reserve

    The home battery keeps a reserve for the night, 30% by default. Below it, appliances are never powered from the battery.

  • Breaker and phases

    It watches every phase. Switch on the oven and it cuts back, then raises the power again once you've finished cooking.

  • Decides on site

    Control runs in the box in your home. If the internet goes down, it keeps working. If it has no data from the inverter, it stops.

App

See what's running and why.

  • One screen: surplus, home battery and what's charging right now.
  • When something isn't running, the app tells you why. For example, there isn't enough sun or the car is full.
  • Set a target, say 80% by 7:00. It uses solar power until the last moment and tops up the rest another way.
  • Switch modes with a single tap.

Who it's for

Who Energostat is for.

FAQ

What people ask us most.

Which solar systems does Energostat work with?

Energostat is designed for systems with Victron Energy equipment. Have something else? Get in touch.

Why Energostat when Victron has Opportunity Loads?

Opportunity Loads is a new, free feature of the Victron system and may be enough for simpler installations. Energostat can also charge your car by a time you set, say 80% by 7:00. Opportunity Loads can't do that. It also watches the main breaker and every phase, switches appliances via contactors and makes its decisions on site, without the internet. Installation and servicing come from one company.

Will it drain my battery?

No. The home battery keeps a reserve for the night, 30% by default. Below it, Energostat doesn't power appliances from the battery.

What if I switch on the oven and the washing machine at the same time?

Energostat watches the breaker and every phase. It reduces the power going to appliances so nothing is overloaded, then raises it again once they're off.

Does it need the internet?

Not for control. The box in your home makes the decisions. If it has no data from the inverter, it stops, to be on the safe side.

Can I see why the car isn't charging?

Yes. The app always shows the reason. For example, there isn't enough sun, the home battery isn't charged enough yet, or the car is already full.

Can I charge the car quickly even when the sun isn't shining?

Yes. Set a target, say 80% by 7:00, and Energostat uses solar power until the last moment. It tops up the shortfall another way. Or choose Full mode.
