Energy Solutions Triple Savings with Smart Chap Intelligent full solution for solar energy
Enter a smart future Efficient energy generation and economical consumption with Smart Chap from Sharp Smart Chap: A very apt name indeed for the intelligent energy manager from Sharp. It gives you independence from increasing energy prices – thanks to solar power and innovative battery solutions for maximum self-sufficiency. It also ensures you consume as little energy as possible, by managing your electric household appliances.

Profitable outlook for your photovoltaic system Seize every opportunity with Smart Chap Those who have purchased a photovoltaic system primarily sought to make gains with their solar power and sell it back to the grid for a high feed-in rate. However, this model has only had limited success due to the continuous decline in feed-in rates. This all changes with Smart Chap from Sharp.
Triple Savings with Smart Chap Comparison of annual balances (income, with expenses deducted) Calculation example for a 4-person household in Germany (4,500 kWh energy consumption per year) + Household surpluses + € 86 + € 154 - Household losses € 1,459 difference per year* - € 193 - € 1.305 Without PV system 1. + PV system 2. + PV system + Battery 3.
Maximum independence from the power grid Thanks to battery storage and energy control, an independence of 99% can be achieved on sunny days 6
The possibilities for selfsufficiency with solar energy were limited for a long time: more energy was produced during the day than necessary and no solar energy was available at night. Solar energy use over the course of a day Battery charge Battery consumption Previously: up to 30% Without a suitable storage solution, it was only possible to cover up to 30% of electricity needs with selfproduced solar power.
More options thanks to smart battery management Flexible battery charging and discharging puts your energy account into positive territory The Smart Chap energy manager can use forecasting to optimise battery charging and discharging: this is an option many other batterybased systems do not include. By considering weather forecasts and consumption prognoses based on the previous consumption profile, electricity generation needs can be predicted accurately.
Dashboard shows energy flows in real time Here is an example of how the dashboard could look at midday with a consumption of around 2 kW. Direct consumption amounts to 871 W and battery consumption to 1.1 kW. Comprehensive analysis feature All energy flows (generation, charge, discharge, direct consumption, total consumption, feed into grid, etc.) can easily be compared with one another.
Optimise energy use Integrate electrical appliances with the energy manager Smart Chap looks at your energy household in its entirety: from energy generation through to the energy consumed by electrical appliances in the home.
Example 1 Tank up on the sun How does it work? In future, it will be possible to use the Sharp energy manager to define the conditions for charging an electric vehicle. This way, you will be able to set whether the vehicle should only be charged during the day, for instance, when there is sufficient solar energy available. In order to ensure the vehicle is also ready for use in poor weather with less solar energy available, a minimum charge level can be selected with the help of schedules.
Example 2 Shower for free How does it work? Heat generation for heating and hot water typically represents the largest consumer of energy in the home. Heat pumps take heat from the environment for part of their supply but also need further energy sources to cover their needs. This additional power supply can now be met to a large extent by solar energy, thanks to Smart Chap. Where there is a PV surplus, the heat pump is switched on by the energy manager.
