Is an energy converter better than feeding solar energy back into the grid?

Many solar panel owners feed a large proportion of the energy they generate back into the grid. With changing feed-in tariffs, local use is becoming increasingly attractive. The myenergi eddi responds to this trend.

What happens when you feed electricity back into the grid?

When feeding back into the grid, surplus solar energy is fed into the grid. Later, electricity is often purchased again, sometimes at higher rates. This reduces the return on solar panels.

How Eddi solves this

• Direct local use: surplus is used for hot water or heating.
• Stepless power control: every available watt is utilized.
• Load balancing: safe operation without peak loads.
• Monitoring: insight into consumption by specific groups.

What are the benefits?

By using solar energy directly, self-consumption increases significantly and dependence on the grid decreases.

“We hardly feed anything back anymore — the eddi uses almost everything itself.”

Next Step

Want to feed less back into the grid and use more of your own energy? Then eddi is a smart addition to solar panels.
