🤖 Every technology evolves over time. The gateway to our smart energy management system, the gridBox,  is no exception. Which is why it recently received an eco-friendly facelift. What does this mean? 📍♻️ Reduced CO2 footprint: Switching to a local OEM shortened our supply chain and a more material-efficient case allows immediate recycling of plastic waste in the manufacturing process, aligning more with our mission of minimizing emissions. 🔧⚙️ Boosting production: The new gridBox design reduces the number of small parts and enables a faster assembly process with a plug-in system. This efficiency is crucial for our ambitious growth targets and ensures the rising demand in the HEMS and e-mobility sectors can be met. 🚀 “The gridBox facelift allows gridX to scale and provides partners with the ability to ramp up their smart energy management solutions based on XENON and the gridBox,” says Tim Steinmetz, Managing Director and Chief Growth Officer at gridX. 👀 Learn more in our latest press release: https://hubs.li/Q02HV-_50 #smartenergy #sustainability #innovation #HEMS #emobility #IoT #greentech #cleantech #growth #gridX

⚡️ You’ve probably heard of Paragraph 14a of Germany’s Energy Industry Act (EnWG), and you may know that it involves temporarily dimming controllable energy-consuming assets to prevent grid overloads, in exchange for reduced grid fees. 🤔 But do you know the technical details of how control signals can be integrated in front-of-the-meter and behind-the-meter? Or the benefits of managing control signals via a digital interface rather than an analog one? 🧑⚖️❤️🤖 Learn this and why §14a and an advanced EMS make the perfect pair – by optimizing consumption and compensating for grid signals locally and providing full transparency to end users – in our latest blog: https://hubs.li/Q02HM1lk0 #14a #EnWG #energymanagement #EMS #energyoptimization

💄 Our gridBox is not only beautiful on the outside, but the inside, as well. 🏃🔐 With a super fast reaction time and a fail-safe operation, our local gateway is an essential part of our energy management system (EMS). By optimizing locally every 100 milliseconds, it ensures the best result when it comes to energy use. This also allows it to use less data and require less interaction with the cloud layer, thus saving time and money. ⚡️ In the rare instance that internet connectivity is lost, the gridBox continues operating thanks to its flash storage and offline capabilities, which ensure a stable operation. ☁️🏋️♂️ So while we do rely on our cloud layer to do the heavy lifting in terms of running complex algorithms (e.g., for optimization based on dynamic tariffs), the gridBox itself is integral part to guaranteeing a fast and stable operation on the ground for the asset owner. 👉 Learn more about our gridBox and its benefits here: https://hubs.li/Q02HBZBh0 #energymanagment #EMS #gridBox #smartenergy 

💔 "There is a lack of standardisation across the energy market," says Philipp Schockenhoff, Team Lead Sales Expansion Markets at gridX. Most know this, but many aren't sure how to resolve it. 🪢 gridX's new collaboration model with OEMs 'Ready for gridX' means that, "we cooperate to provide the best end-to-end product to end user brands," Philipp explained in an interview with Mobility Portal Group. 🚀 "The more complex the use case in the future, the more critical it will be to have a reliable cooperation between hardware manufacturers and energy management," he says. 🕸 Learn how greater interoperability is crucial for players in e-mobility and home energy management to scale more quickly and effectively, while simultaneously increasing value for end users, in the article: https://hubs.li/Q02HB8kk0

🏡 HEMS is more than just energy management. It's the key to continually unlock future value in the energy space - for companies, end users and the grid. 🛠 As gridX Managing Director and CGO Tim Steinmetz points out, an advanced HEMS with the right toolset will constantly grow with your business. 💡 Learn more in our latest free 30-page report on the current trends and future outlook of home energy management systems in Europe: https://hubs.li/Q02Hphvd0 #HEMS #homeenergymanagement #smartenergymanagement

⚡️🎶 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?

👏 HEMS reduces the break-even point of asset purchases by up to one year. 📖 E.ON Deutschland, RWTH Aachen University, gridX and other partners conducted a detailed simulation study to showcase the customer benefits of combining heat pumps and PV with the added value of HEMS. 🏡 The simulations took place from August 2023 until March 2024 for a range of houses in both Essen and Munich. Here we showcase some of major savings potential enabled by smart energy management. 🤑🌱⚡️ 👀 Check out our HEMS Report to learn about the long-term benefits of an advanced HEMS and the markets' future trajectory: https://hubs.li/Q02GWZJS0 🧪 Find the original E.ON study here: https://hubs.li/Q02GWZk60 #hems #solarpower #solarheating #smartheating #electricheating #energymanagement #study #breakeven

💪 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
