Photovoltaics covers electricity generation, but more and more customers are expecting Comprehensive energy solutions. Air conditioning systems are a useful addition to the PV system, as they utilise surplus solar power in a targeted manner - precisely when the sun is at its strongest. This creates additional convenience and a new area of business for you.
Why solar engineers should think about air conditioning now - and how AKKU SYS can support you.
Photovoltaics is just the beginning - air conditioning systems round off the concept
Components such as storage systems and an energy management system (EMS) that control generation and consumption are needed to ensure that the PV electricity produced is utilised efficiently.
Heat pumps are already established in many specialised companies. Air conditioning systems are also becoming more important. This is because the need for cooling increases, especially in summer, when the PV system delivers the highest yields.
Your customers benefit in several ways:
- Higher self-consumption rate through direct utilisation of solar power
- Cost-efficient air conditioning with self-generated energy
- Noticeable increase in comfort without a guilty conscience when it comes to energy consumption
Legal situation and grid fees: Why solar power should be used directly
Legal changes are strengthening the trend towards self-consumption:
- Solar Peak Law 2025: Systems from 2 kWp without an intelligent metering system may only feed in 60 % of their output. Direct consumption prevents losses. Read more More about the Solar Peak Law.
- Time-variable grid charges: From 2025, electricity consumption at unfavourable times will become more expensive. Those who place loads such as cooling in favourable time windows will save money. Learn more More about variable grid charges in our Youtube video.
A new business segment with prospects
Many companies still see air conditioning systems as an HVAC issue. However, modern appliances can be easily integrated into PV concepts - independently or with partners. The effort is manageable, the benefits great.
The expansion of your portfolio creates clear advantages:
- Positioning as a system provider
- Serving growing customer needs
- Additional sales potential
It is crucial to recognise the issue at an early stage and actively bring it up in discussions with customers.
