Soly launches Copilot to empower homeowners to optimise energy and cut costs
Amsterdam, February 27, 2025 – An innovative feature helps households gain insight into their energy consumption and make targeted savings. The system, released by Soly, one of the market leaders in solar energy, offers approximately one hundred personalised recommendations such as washing at a lower temperature, replacing an old dryer, defrosting the freezer, or installing a smart thermostat. The recommendations can lead to an average energy saving of 6 to 7 percent, which has an immediate positive impact on the energy bill.
The solar energy market is shifting from installation to management
Many households with solar panels know how much energy they generate, but have less insight into how that energy is used.
“With Soly Copilot, we not only want to give consumers more insight, but also help them get the most out of their generated solar power,” explains Milan van der Meulen, Co-Founder of Soly.
“By shifting consumption to when solar energy is generated, users can increase their self-consumption and reduce feed-in costs.”
More than 100 practical recommendations
The system analyses energy consumption and categorises it into components such as heating, cooling, and energy consumption. Based on these insights, users receive personalised tips. Van der Meulen: “We have formulated more than 100 concrete recommendations, from simple adjustments such as defrosting a freezer to larger steps such as purchasing a more efficient dryer. This makes energy saving accessible and achievable for everyone.”
A step forward without expensive investments
Although a home battery can be a good solution for better utilising generated solar energy, it is too expensive for many households. With Soly Copilot, Soly offers an affordable and effective alternative that helps customers manage energy more intelligently without major investments.
With this new feature, Soly responds to the need for more efficient energy management and supports households in their transition to more sustainable energy consumption.
