⚡️🎶 An energy management system is to the PV industry what Taylor Swift is to the music industry – the key to growth despite a downward trend. ☀️📉 The PV power installed in Germany (for systems below 10 kWp) from January to May was 32% lower in 2024 (1,039 MWp) than it was in the same period in 2023. In May alone, 41.4% less PV power was installed this year. 🌞 📈 But the number of newly installed power by gridX customers in Germany continued to grow throughout the year to reach a 147% increase in May 2024 compared to May 2023. 🕶 Installing a PV system together with other assets and a holistic EMS is therefore the equivalent of Taylor Swift's ability to reach audiences in new ways and constantly break new records e.g. releasing the first album to reach one billion Spotify streams in one week while touring the highest-grossing concert of all time. ❓ Want to buck the trend like Tay Tay by holistically and intelligently managing assets and offering users more value?

💪 The energy transition is a team sport and the clean energy team needs even more power. 🤝 We understand the importance of networking, discussing challenges with peers and sharing gridX’s vision for the future. That’s why we started our event series, EnergyX, aka. the new leading networking event in the energytech space. 🍻 40 external participants joined us in Munich for our first event, forging new connections over drinks, food, vibrant conversations and insightful presentations. 💡 Our Sales Director Nicolas Gehring set the tone for the evening with an inspiring welcoming speech, followed by a compelling keynote from our DACH Sales Team Lead, Darius Chaman Ara: “Fighting the climate crisis: Energytech as the key to a healthy planet.” 👉 If you want to join industry leaders at the next networking event, sign up for our employer branding newsletter to stay in the know: //hubs.li/Q02GVw0v0 #gridXlife #EnergyX #CleanTech #Innovation #EnergyTech #Networking

🎙️Tune in to the final episode of our first podcast season! ⚡️🚗 For our final episode, we asked EV travel hacker Felix Hamer (aka Electric Felix) “watt’s up?” with his take on European charging infrastructure. 🎧 Listen and hear him explain: 🔌How governments can push the electric transition forward. 🔌Why consumers shouldn’t be scared of an EV’s price tag. 🔌How a Renault competes with (and maybe even out performs) a Jaguar. 🔌Which country is “charging” ahead. 🔌Where is (in Felix’s opinion) the best place to charge. 👂Stream the episode now: https://hubs.li/Q02F0h0k0 Stay tuned for our next season starting on July 30! #podcast #energynews #energytransition #energymanagement #cleantech #EV #EVcharging #electriccharging #moreplugs

🇪🇸⚽️🏆 While Spain may have the best football team in Europe, their charging infrastructure sits below the European average. But just like superstar teenager Lamine Yamal, it shows huge potential in the coming years. 🔌🚗 Spain has a lower than average number of charge points, BEVs and capacity per capita, yet its increase in charging capacity from 2022 to 2023 was above the European average (just like Rodri's incredible capacity to read the game, which earned him Best Player of EURO 2024). ⚡️The country also has a higher than average share of fast chargers (just like Nico Williams' fast footwork) and DC chargers rose more rapidly ( 44%) than AC chargers ( 34%) in 2023. 🏆 Iberdrola, Endesa and Tesla hold the top three spots for charge points and capacity in the country, followed by EDP and Wenea. 🚀 See which countries are kicking e-mobility goals and which are choking under the pressure in our 2024 Charging Report: https://hubs.li/Q02s3C6J0 #EVcharging #smartcharging #charginginfrastructure #emobility #EVs #recargadevehículoseléctricos #recargainteligente #movilidadeléctrica #EURO2024 #euros #europeanchampionships

🇸🇪🔋 As of last week, batteries used for purposes beyond storing self-produced energy in Sweden are also eligible for the green tax reduction. This opens up the potential of more advanced use cases in home energy management to maximize value for end users. 🤖 But as gridX CTO and Managing Director, Tobias Mitter, points out: "Batteries are only as flexible as the energy management system behind them." 🥞 Learn about the importance of value stacking with an advanced EMS below or check out our recent blog for more info: https://hubs.li/Q02G9bSY0 #sweden #batteries #energystorage #FCR #HEMS #greentaxreduction

🇵🇹 When compared to the rest of Europe, Portuguese charging infrastructure struggles to keep up, yet, of the southern countries, it ranks in the top of most metrics. ⬆️ In 2023, it experienced only the 24th highest increase in charge points. 🚙 For share of new car sales, it ranked 13th (18%). 🔌 They have the fifth highest share of fast chargers, but land at 27 for ultra fast. ⚡️ The southern regions of the Algarve and Alentejo have the best distribution of charge points per capita, followed by the capital, Lisbon. 🚗 When looking at the top operators in the country, Portugal is one of the few in our report to not include Tesla. Instead, the top five operators are: EDP, Galp, Powerdot, Atlante and KLC. 👉 Learn more when you download our latest Charging Report 2024: https://hubs.li/Q02s3C6J0 #EVcharging #smartcharging #charginginfrastructure #emobility #EVs #electriccars

🤷 Are you often stumped by the measurements used for electric vehicle charging, battery capacity or energy consumption? Do you know the difference between power and energy? 💡 In our latest glossary, we go back to basics to look at the difference between kilowatt, kilowatt hour and kilowatt peak. ☀️🔋🚗 These are crucial to understand the interactions between devices that produce, consume or store electricity, and to understand the intricacies of your (or your sites' energy bill) and how it can be reduced with features like peak shaving. 👉 Check it out: https://hubs.li/Q02FS8XS0 #solarpower #energy #electricity #kilowatt #kilowatthour #peakshaving #energybill #EVcharging #energystorage #glossary

📈 On June 26, Germany broke a record for reaching its highest hourly electricity price in history – do you know how these price fluctuations can translate to real savings for end users with time of use tariffs? 🏠🚗🕓 Luckily we can tell you. In XENON, we calculated how much a real German end user could have saved if their electric vehicle (EV) charging was automatically shifted from the evening immediately after being plugged in (without EMS) to the early morning (with EMS). 🤑 This equates to over €25 in savings in one charging session with no loss of comfort. Without time of use tariffs, the price peak contributed to a 64% increase in the average weekly electricity price in Germany compared to the week prior. 👉 Get in touch if you want to enable your customers to leverage price fluctuattions rather than suffer from them: https://hubs.li/Q02FCGsS0 #timeofuse #dynamictariffs #ToU #EMS #energymanagement
