AlphaESS batteries store the electricity from your solar panels for use when you need it.
Use this energy at night or during peak hours, reducing reliance on the grid and lower bills.
You save more and get a faster return on investment!
We recommend combining AlphaESS batteries with the system developed by Climkit (Vevey):
Climkit makes it easier to manage your building with tools for metering, billing, visualization and optimization.
- Modular solutions tailored to your needs: electricity and RCP metering, charging stations, heating and water metering, laundry management, etc.
- Billing management: handling all financial flows: metering, billing, reminders, receiving and paying electricity supplier bills.
- Visualization and monitoring: Owners and residents can follow the evolution of consumption and production in real time, as well as the status of invoices via the online portal.
Determine the required capacity (kWh ) per day
Consumption analysis: Evaluate your daily energy consumption (in kWh): you will find it on your bills which generally indicate your monthly, quarterly or annual consumption).
Define the desired autonomy: How many hours/days should the system cover without input from the grid or direct solar power?
Discharge factor: You must take into account that AlphaESS lithium batteries can be discharged to approximately 90% of their usable capacity. In other words, you should avoid letting them fully discharge.
Example: If a house consumes 10 kWh/day and we want 1 day of autonomy, we will need a useful capacity of at least 10 kWh.
Yes , AlphaESS batteries, combined with their AlphaCloud energy management platform, are designed to optimize energy use and are ready for the dynamic tariffs planned in Switzerland from 2026.
The AlphaCloud platform, hosted in Europe, enables real-time monitoring and intelligent energy management, offering optimized responsiveness and monitoring of systems.
In addition, AlphaESS systems are compatible with virtual power plant (VPP) applications, enabling them to participate in demand management programs and respond to dynamic tariff signals.
For example, the SMILE-G3 series offers improved energy management through artificial intelligence technology, enabling efficient integration with dynamic tariff structures.
By combining these features, AlphaESS solutions are well positioned to help Swiss users maximize their savings and optimize their energy consumption in response to upcoming dynamic prices.

AlphaESS's electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, integrated with their energy storage systems, offer a complete solution to optimize the use of solar energy and reduce dependence on the grid.
By coupling these stations with AlphaESS batteries, users can recharge their electric vehicles directly with the stored energy, particularly during peak hours or in the event of a network failure, while maximizing self-consumption of solar energy.
This not only saves on energy costs, but also contributes to more sustainable mobility and intelligent energy management.
