Optimize your energy consumption with virtual batteries

A solar self-consumption installation can allow you to reduce your bills by 30 to 40%¹. Have you switched to solar self-consumption and want to take full advantage of your installation? Find out how the mylight150 virtual battery can help you maximize your savings and optimize your photovoltaic panels.

Why switch to solar self-consumption?

Going solar is an excellent initiative, but what is even more beneficial is to optimize your consumption for use the energy produced directly. The cheapest kWh is the one you consume instantly, without going through the network!

By increasing the self-consumption portion of your solar production, you can reduce the cost per kWh and increase your savings. Result? A significant reduction in your energy bills and real autonomy!

mySmartBattery: the mylight150 virtual battery: an innovative solution.

The virtual battery: how does it work?

The mySmartBattery virtual battery works on the same principle as a physical battery. Your excess production is recorded and injected directly into your battery within the limit of the retained capacity. We then deduct this electricity in real time as soon as you need it. MySmartBattery is the only real-time battery that allows you to save 100% of the value of your stored kWhs.

In summary, My Smart Battery is an offer that is easy to understand.

- During the day/summer, my solar surplus is stored on MySmartBattery

-At night/in winter I consume the energy stored on MySmartBattery

The mylight150 virtual battery offers a storage capacity ranging from 100 to 10000 kWh. The principle is simple: 1 kWh stored is equivalent to 1 kWh saved.

This flexibility allows you to adapt your storage capacity and allows you to increase your self-consumption rate.

The benefits of mySmartBattery

En storing energy produced in summer for use in winter or at night, you can cover a significant portion of your energy needs, even during periods of low production. This ensures optimal use of the solar energy produced.

The virtual battery is particularly useful for homes heated by electricity, with heating accounting for almost 62% of their energy expenditure.

By increasing the self-consumption rate, you gradually reduce the cost per kWh and make interesting savings.

Optimize your energy consumption

Simplified management of electrical devices

Mylight150 offers solutions for use your electrical devices more intelligently and run them on solar power. For example, heating water with your electric water heater costs you an average of €400 per year for 100 L. By taking advantage of solar energy during the day, you will significantly reduce this expense.

Likewise, the automatic management of your pumps, pools or hot tubs during the day allows you to save money without impacting your comfort.

Charging your electric car, requiring 41 kWh per charge, can also be optimized using solar energy.

Finally, connected sockets allow you to program the switching on and off of your home appliances to reduce their consumption.

The reduction of consumption peaks

The virtual battery helps you to smooth your energy consumption by covering your needs during the day and reducing the peak consumption in the evening.

By preheating your home in the afternoon, for example, and lowering the temperature at night, you can take advantage of your home's thermal inertia for additional savings.

Learn to consume better

A better understanding of your consumption per device can help you reduce your energy costs by up to 20%. Mylight150 supports you in this process and offers tools to inform you in real time about your energy consumption using sensors or sub-meters.

By identifying the most energy-consuming devices and adapting their use, you can easily improve the energy efficiency of your home.

In summary, using the mylight150 Virtual Battery means:

1- Maximize self-consumption to achieve up to 100% self-consumption, to accelerate the profitability of your installation

2- Up to -80% on electrical bills: significant, immediate savings, without time limits and without loss of storage efficiency as can be the case of a physical battery

3- Automatic and visible savings in real time via our application

By combining the use of virtual batteries and the optimization of your energy consumption, mylight150 allows you to amplify the benefits of your solar panels.

Investing in a mylight150 virtual battery is taking a step towards smarter and more economical management of your energy.
