EMSwise

A battery stores. An EMS decides.

We design and install your complete system: solar panels, inverter and battery, with inspection and registration with the grid operator. And we connect everything that asks for energy to it, so water heater, heat pump, charge point and pool work together under one control layer.

Start a conversationWhat is an EMS?

Installing a battery is layers 1 to 4. Running the house is layer 5.

A home battery has five layers. The first four are in every offer. The fifth decides what your installation actually does, and that is usually where the offer stops.

  1. EMS: energy management

    Decides who gets power and when: battery, grid, sun and every device in the house.

  2. ESS: Energy Storage System

    Battery and inverter working together for self-consumption and grid interaction.

  3. Inverter

    Converts direct current into alternating current for house and grid, and back.

  4. BMS: battery management

    Watches voltage, temperature and charge limits. Protects the cells.

  5. Battery

    Cells, modules, rack. The storage itself.

What layer 5 controls

  • Hot water

    The water heater runs when power is cheap or the sun is in surplus.

  • Heating

    Heat pump and buffer tank as flexible storage, in the form of heat.

  • Cooling

    Pre-cooling during sunny hours instead of at the evening peak.

  • Charge point

    Charges on surplus and pauses as soon as the monthly peak comes into view.

  • Swimming pool

    Filter pump and pool heat pump run on solar surplus.

  • Switchable circuits

    Any device with a contact: relay, Shelly, dry switching.

What we do

We deliver the whole installation and the control layer on top of it. One party, from the first conversation to the inspection.

Design on your figures

We calculate on your annual statement and your quarter-hour data. Capacity, power and phasing follow from that, not from a list of packages.

Installing the complete system

Solar panels, inverter, battery, cabling and cabinet. If you already have panels or a battery, we build on what is there.

Inspection and registration

We arrange inspection by an accredited body and register your installation with the grid operator. You receive the file.

Control that grows with you

On top of that comes the energy management, where it makes sense. If your situation changes, the control logic changes with it.

Why those connections make the difference

A 10 kWh battery is limited. A house full of controllable devices is not.

A lower monthly peak

Devices give way to each other, so your peak, and with it your capacity tariff, comes down.

Heat as storage

Water heater, buffer tank and pool store cheap energy as heat, far cheaper than extra kWh of battery.

Shifted consumption

On a dynamic contract, consumption moves to the hours when power is cheap or even negatively priced.

Comfort stays comfort

Control within limits you set yourself: water hot, house warm, car charged when you need it.

The difference from a standard home battery

How we work

Design first, size second. Not the other way round.

  1. Conversation

    What do you want: a lower bill, certainty during an outage, more autonomy? That choice drives every other one.

  2. Analysis

    We read your annual statement and the quarter-hour data from your digital meter. That holds your real profile, not an estimate.

  3. Design

    Capacity, power, phasing, backup circuits and which devices become controllable, with the limits stated honestly.

  4. Build, inspection and registration

    Assembly and commissioning, an inspection with a checklist and a thermal image, the statutory inspection by an accredited body and registration with the grid operator. The file is yours.

  5. Adjustment

    Tariffs, devices and habits change. The control logic changes with them.

Why EMSwise

Engineering, not sales

We write the control logic ourselves and read the measurements ourselves. One technical owner across hardware, software and execution.

Tested on our own systems first

Whatever ends up at your home has already run for weeks on our own installations.

Inspection with thermography

Every installation is checked before handover, including a thermal image of the connections.

Open technology

Documented interfaces, local operation where feasible, integration with Home Assistant and other open platforms.
