Your battery earns money when HEMS runs it

Automatically decides when to charge the battery and when to power your home. It looks at electricity prices, your tariff and the solar forecast. It controls on site, in your home, and shows the profit in the app.

See the profit from smart control in the dashboard. Tomorrow’s plan too.

The summary shows what the battery earned, separately for solar and for the battery with EMS. The battery plan for today and tomorrow is set by the sunvibe AI Planner, and the dashboard shows what it will do in the coming hours.

Compliant with the PME2 subsidy

Poland’s Home Energy Storage programme (NFOŚiGW) requires an EMS. sunvibe meets every point.

up to PLN 19,000 subsidy per connection point
  • 30% of costs, max PLN 800 per 1 kWh of capacity
  • up to PLN 16,000 for the battery (net-billing)
  • +PLN 2,000 for an EU-made inverter or battery

Condition: an EMS that meets the programme rules.

  • Controls renewable energy flows by prioritiesHome load, battery, grid
  • Controls battery charging and dischargingThe planner controls both
  • Operates by time profilesA plan in 15-minute steps
  • Analyses weather and economic dataProduction forecast, prices, tariff
  • Cybersecurity: NIS2, CRA, RED DA, ETSI EN 303 645Manufacturer’s declaration of conformity
  • Island-mode capabilityVia the inverter, with an energy reserve

The EMS cost is not an eligible cost. The installer enters the EMS name, type and functionality in the acceptance protocol; we provide the description.

Connected in one day

  1. 01

    The installer connects the controller

    It goes to the inverter and the battery.

  2. 02

    You pick your tariff

    In the app you set the tariff and the outage reserve.

  3. 03

    In the morning you see the plan

    From then on the battery runs by itself.

EMS for home batteries: frequently asked questions

What is an EMS for a home battery?

An EMS (energy management system, also called HEMS at home) decides when your battery charges and when it powers your home. It takes into account energy prices, your tariff, the solar production forecast and your household consumption. Without an EMS a battery just stores surplus energy. With one, it starts to pay for itself.

Do I need an EMS for the PME2 battery subsidy?

Yes. Poland’s Home Energy Storage programme (part 2, NFOŚiGW) requires an EMS that controls charging and discharging by time profiles and analyses weather or economic data. A monitoring app alone is not enough. sunvibe meets these requirements; the breakdown is higher on this page. The EMS cost is not an eligible cost. Check current terms on the programme page.

Does an EMS pay off with a dynamic tariff?

A dynamic tariff changes the price every hour, so the biggest savings go to those who shift consumption to cheap hours. The EMS does this automatically: it charges the battery when power is cheap or negatively priced and powers your home from the battery during the evening peak.

Does sunvibe work without internet?

You need internet once a day to download energy prices and the weather forecast. Then sunvibe runs by the plan. A constant cloud connection is not required.

How is a home EMS different from an EMS for solar farms?

In scale. The technology is the same one sunvibe uses to run PV farms above 1 MW and storage above 1 MWh.

Will sunvibe work with my inverter and battery?

The list of brands is higher on this page. If your model is not there, ask in the form and we’ll check.

Who installs sunvibe?

A solar installer connects the system, ideally the one who installed your PV system. If they don’t work with us yet, they can join our partner programme. If you don’t have an installer, get in touch.
