Charging with own solar energy
Directly use locally generated electricity for electric vehicles.
Charging on solar
With the Maxem Energy Cloud, solar generation is linked to charging infrastructure in real time. As a result, vehicles automatically charge more when the sun shines and less when generation decreases. This maximizes your own energy use, reduces your energy costs, and increases the return on your solar installation.
Less dependent on the grid
Reduce the use of expensive grid power and avoid unnecessary feed-in.
Higher yield from solar panels
Increase the self-consumption of your solar installation
Extra profit via EREs
Generate more value from demonstrably green charging
The challenge: solar panels and charging stations often operate independently of each other
For many organizations, solar energy charging seems obvious. The reality is often different.
A standard charging station charges based on a preset capacity and does not take into account the current solar generation. As a result, energy from the grid is used while solar energy is simultaneously available on the roof.
The result is that generated energy is fed back to the grid or insufficiently utilized, while electricity is simultaneously purchased for charging vehicles.
This is a waste of both energy and the return on the installation. After all, the cheapest energy is the energy you generate and use directly.
The solution: real-time charging based on solar generation
With Maxem, charging stations are actively controlled based on the available solar energy.
The Maxem Energy Cloud reads in real time how much energy the solar panels produce and combines this information with current consumption and available grid capacity.
Based on this, the charging power is automatically adjusted. Is there a lot of solar generation available? Then vehicles receive more charging power. Does generation decrease or building consumption rise? Then Maxem automatically adjusts.
This way, available solar energy is put to immediate use where it yields the most value.
You determine how smartly charging is done
Not every organization has the same charging strategy.
Some locations want to charge exclusively with solar energy. Other organizations always want to guarantee a minimum charging speed, regardless of weather conditions.
With Maxem, you determine the balance between solar generation, grid power, and charging performance.
As a result, you can choose for maximum use of solar energy, maximum vehicle availability, or a smart combination of both.
Extra benefit with the ERE scheme
Since 2026, organizations can achieve extra revenues through the ERE scheme (Emission Reduction Units).
The origin of the energy used plays an important role. When charging demonstrably with own solar energy, this yields significantly more EREs than charging with regular grid power.
The Maxem Energy Cloud records the necessary energy data and supports the measurements needed to make the source of the charging power transparent.
This makes solar charging not only more sustainable but also more financially attractive.
Even smarter with battery storage
Does a location have a battery system? Then the value of solar energy is further increased.
When more solar energy is available than is immediately needed for charging, it can be stored in a battery. Later, that energy can still be used for vehicles or other energy consumers.
As a result, more locally generated energy remains available for own use, and dependence on the electricity grid is further reduced.
