The benefits of renewable energy integration in smart home systems

Integrating renewable energy sources into smart homes is a very logical trend (e.g. tracking energy consumption more efficiently thanks to smart meters), but it’s also a very beneficial one. In times of energy uncertainty, durable power sources offer homeowners more self-sufficiency, making them less reliant on the convenience of international power plants and providers. Let’s dive into more benefits of integrating your smart home with renewable energy.

Why are clean power sources and smart homes a perfect match?

Renewable or ‘clean’ energy is the future, and so is smart technology. Both trends seem to find their perfect match in smart homes. As the demand for solar panels and the interest in other alternative energy options grows year after year with homeowners, so does the need for accessible energy management and efficient energy storage. Appliances like smart meters, battery storage units and gateways between solar panels and the energy grid, are becoming staples in modern homes. Discover our KNX sustainable products.

Besides providing homeowners with devices and appliances that help them keep an eye on their energy consumption, a KNX ecosystem also ensures an integration with all other powered devices in your home. This way you can immediately and proactively adjust the settings and behavior of your devices, like lighting, heating and HVAC appliances. Learn how KNX is paving the way to a more sustainable future.

1. Energy independence for empowered homeowners

Advantages of producing your own energy for your household

Having more ownership of your energy sources as a homeowner offers several benefits. You, for one, are less susceptible to complicated international relations, where regular citizens all too often suffer the indirect consequences, like surging energy and gas prices. You’re an active player in the creation of a more sustainable future, as the supply chain literally starts and ends with you. Furthermore, excess electricity can be saved on the community grid in exchange for a small compensation, however, storing your energy for (literally) a rainy day is a lot more interesting.

A must: Smart energy storage solutions

Saving your energy efficiently is just as important as generating it in the first place. Anticipate cloudy days by equipping your property with sufficient battery storage. The SonnenKNX Module is a prime example of a battery unit that elevates your energy management.

2. Become a pioneer in clean energy and future housing

By integrating sustainable energy sources into your home set up, you have a direct, positive impact on our planet. By adding smart technology to your home, you can even increase that impact. By cutting back on energy-heavy devices, you make sure you only use the required amount of electricity or gas, and as a bonus you’ll also save significantly on your next energy bill.

3. Increase the value of your property

Nowadays, residential properties are graded upon their durability. Is the house fully renovated? Are there any ventilation holes? Are the windows double glazed? Each feature elevates the economy of the property, and so does smart energy technology. Solar panels, connected to a smart meter, have incredible added value for the future homeowners, as it will save them money along the way (making the investment 100% worth it).
