Samsung has announced that it has signed a partnership with SolarEdge to promote Net Zero Home. SolarEdge is an Israeli company that offers products related to solar energy, such as solar panels, solar inverters, and energy generation monitoring tools. Net Zero Home is Samsung’s initiative which aims to help develop spaces that produce, store, manage, and consume energy without creating energy surplus or shortage. Samsung hasn’t revealed other details about the partnership, but we can certainly take a guess.
Samsung’s SmartThings platform has a service called SmartThings Energy. It can connect with products like solar inverters and show users the amount of solar energy that’s being generated right in the app. It can also connect with smart electricity meters and let users know how much energy is being used in their houses. It’s not hard to imagine SolarEdge working to integrate SmartThings Energy into its products. It will allow people using SolarEdge products to check energy statistics right in the SmartThings app.
SmartThings Energy and AI Saving Mode can help to reduce electricity consumption
Enabling users to monitor electricity generation/consumption with ease can help them reduce energy usage, getting them one step closer to helping nature. SmartThings Energy also has AI Saving Mode. It can automatically cut down the consumption of electricity by changing the settings of appliances (or turning them on/off) based on the lifestyle of the user. It can further help save energy. That being said, Samsung and SolarEdge might be working on something totally different apart from SmartThings Energy integration.
Samsung has also announced that it will display SmartThings Energy and Eco Heating System (EHS) energy-saving solutions with various partners at Intersolar, which is the world’s leading exhibition for the solar industry. This year, the event will take place in Munich, Germany, from June 14 to June 16, 2023. Samsung also revealed that it will soon start the Demand Response service, which provides incentives for local governments to voluntarily reduce energy use during peak power hours in California and New York.
