A simple home solution for smart charging of electric vehicles and energy storage
Enable homeowners a simple solution to charge the car and energy storage with eg. 100% solar or when the spot price for electricity is at its lowest!
Self-produced energy is the most environmentally friendly and cheapest energy you can get, use it well!
Charge when the spot price is at its lowest and do not contribute to power spikes that require less environmentally friendly energy sources!
Checks the weather forecast for tomorrow and predicts whether the energy will be sold at peak cost or saved for later use.
Save main fuse by enable power output from energy storage while consumption exceeds the limit of the main fuse.
Now we have finally got our energy storage installed about 2 months ago, and we are very satisfied so far!

The whole summer has come and past since my last update đŸ˜…
In short, this is what I'm been up to the last year regarding this project ...
Can you predict production during the day and how much?
In recent days, I have been fetching spot prices from Nord Pool. With focus on today's prices and, if available, also tomorrow's prices.
The project now runs on my 9 years old Raspberry Pi!
Now I'm really up and running with my little home project. We'll see what happens, but right now it's really fun and educational!
The project's goal is to enable homeowners a simple solution for charging the car and energy storage with, for example, 100% solar or when the spot price for electricity is at its lowest!
