Photovoltaics covers electricity generation, but more and more customers expect comprehensive energy solutions. Air conditioning systems complement the PV system perfectly, as they make targeted use of surplus solar power – precisely when the sun is shining most strongly. This creates additional comfort and opens up a new business area for you.
Why solar technicians should now consider the issue of air conditioning – and how AKKU SYS Supports you in this.
Photovoltaics is just the beginning – air conditioning systems round off the concept
In order to use the PV electricity produced efficiently, components such as storage systems and an energy management system (EMS) are needed to control generation and consumption.
Heat pumps are already well established in many specialist companies. Air conditioning systems are also becoming more important. This is because, especially in summer, when the PV system delivers the highest yields, the need for cooling also increases.
Your customers benefit in several ways:
- Higher self-consumption rate through direct use of solar power
- Cost-effective air conditioning with self-generated energy
- Noticeable increase in comfort without feeling guilty about energy consumption
Legal situation and grid fees: Why solar power should be used directly
Legal changes reinforce the trend towards self-consumption:
- Solar Peak Act 2025: Systems from 2 kWp without an intelligent metering system may only feed 60% of their output into the grid. Direct consumption prevents losses. Read more more about the Solar Peak Act.
- Time-variable network charges: From 2025 onwards, electricity consumption at unfavourable times will become more expensive. Those who shift loads such as cooling to favourable time slots will save money. Find out more more about variable network charges in our YouTube video.
A new business area with prospects
Many companies still view air conditioning systems as a matter for HVAC specialists. However, modern devices can be easily integrated into PV concepts – either independently or with partners. The effort involved is manageable, and the benefits are considerable.
Expanding your portfolio offers clear advantages:
- Positioning as a system provider
- Meeting growing customer needs
- Additional sales potential
It is crucial to identify the issue at an early stage and actively bring it up in discussions with customers.
