Smart energy control starts with data, but ends with insight

At Covolt, we control renewable energy installations:
solar panels, batteries and soon charging stations. The goal is to get maximum
efficiency from energy. We do this with smart algorithms that run
in the cloud and communicate with local Electric Control Units (ECUs). These
ECUs run on site at the installation
