Reduce your peak load
with
Power Control
Business growth, electrification, and sustainability efforts are placing higher peak loads on your connection. Power Control gives you control through peak shaving, smart management, and optimizing self-consumption , you can make the most of your existing energy infrastructure and avoid unnecessary grid costs.
Get the most out of your PV system and battery with peak shaving and smart power management
Covolt's Power Control optimizes your self-consumption and protects your connection capacity. This allows you to use as much of your own generated electricity as possible and save on transmission costs and energy taxes.
Your solar panels generate plenty of energy during the day. But what if your business doesn’t use that electricity right away? Without smart management, your surplus energy is fed into the grid, often at unfavorable rates. And in the meantime, you’re buying expensive electricity in the evening.
Power Control puts you back in control. Our Covolt Horizon Energy Management System manages your PV, battery, and EV charging infrastructure in real time: instead of feeding power back into the grid, it charges when there’s a surplus, discharges when your consumption is high, and performs load balancing when multiple cars are charging but you also need your generated power for other business processes. It also performs load shifting when charging can easily be done at a different time. The result? Lower costs—including reduced transmission costs—savings on energy taxes, and maximum utilization of your own green power.
Higher peak load on your connection? Power Control keeps it under control: by peak shaving, smart control, and self-consumption optimization , you’ll save on grid costs and make the most of your Covolt Horizon EMS to its fullest potential.

Where are the savings?
Saving 1: Transport costs
Reduced grid consumption directly translates to lower transmission costs. Every kWh you consume yourself instead of purchasing saves you money.
Saving 2: Energy tax & grid tariff surcharges/reductions
If your battery is included in the same contract as your solar panels and electricity usage, you’ll benefit from discounts on energy taxes and the storage/discharge component.
Saving 3: kWmax costs (Peak Shaving)
If your monthly peak load is actually reduced through smart battery use, you’ll save on the capacity charged on your grid operators bill.
Choose the strategy that best suits your situation
At the heart of Power Control is self-consumption optimization: ensuring that you use as much of the electricity you generate yourself as possible. In addition, you can opt for the Flex Trading add-on to streamline your energy purchases and generate additional revenue on the energy market.
