The Ferroamp system
With dynamic phase and load balancing, you get an even and fast charging while protecting the main fuse and avoiding power peaks.
In the Ferroamp system, you get an intelligent inverter with minimal conversion losses. The DC-grid provides maximal ability to control how the solar energy is being used.
Take full advantage of the electricity system by evening out imbalances over all three phases. Avoid overloading while charging an EV or reduce the size of the main fuse to cut costs.
A modular system that can be expanded as needed and is updated online with new features.
Through Ferroamp’s control, batteries can be charged with solar power or from the grid when electricity is cheap and used when electricity is expensive or during consumption peaks.

Through Ferroamp’s control, batteries can be charged with solar power or from the grid when electricity is cheap and used when electricity is expensive or during consumption peaks.
The Ferroamp system represents a new way of thinking about electricity in properties. Instead of looking at each function separately, we provide the property with a flexible and controllable infrastructure that can handle both today's and tomorrow's needs.
With a DC-based microgrid, you can connect both production and batteries that you monitor in real-time and control in a cloud service. In this way, you gain control over the grid connection and make the property an active node in the electrical system.
Fewer conversion losses
Since both solar cells and energy storage run on DC, conversion losses are reduced. Other loads, such as electric vehicles and LED lighting, also use DC. They can eventually be connected directly to the DC network and integrated into the open system.
The brain of the system is EnergyHub, which connects solar string optimizers and batteries via the DC grid. EnergyHub corresponds to the router in a data network and collects the control of electrical components in the property in one place. EnergyHub acts as an inverter for both solar cells and batteries. Since the conversion and control take place in the same location, conversion losses are minimized and functional and economic benefits are maximized.
More efficient electricity use
Through its unique phase balancing, EnergyHub enables more efficient use of electricity.
This makes it possible, for example, to install electric vehicle chargers that can charge safely and efficiently without disturbing other activities in the property’s electrical system. It can also make it possible to choose a lower main fuse to reduce the fee to the grid owner.
Ready for the future
The system can easily be adapted to all power needs, from residential houses to large commercial properties. The Ferroamp system can easily expand through its modular structure with more solar panels or increased storage capacity. The system’s functionality is also continuously updated online in the same way as a smartphone. The electricity market is constantly changing. Business models are being developed where properties can contribute stabilizing services to the grid, electric vehicle charging can be made more efficient with direct current technology, and the electric vehicle can also be used as a mobile energy storage.
Ferroamp provides you, as a property owner, with a unified system where you can integrate new functions and gain complete control over your grid connection. It also creates a more sustainable electrical system where each property becomes an active part and can control electricity production and consumption. This makes the system more redundant and enables the transition to a fossil-free energy system.
The different parts
of the system
01
Solar String Optimizer
Ferroamp's solar string optimizer is used to connect solar panels to the Ferroamp system and is market leading in terms of performance in terms of efficiency and safety. The model with independent SSOs for connection gives the system flexibility so that you can easily expand and integrate more solar panels into the system if needed.
02
EnergyHub
EnergyHub is the brain of the system and acts as an inverter for both solar cells and battery. EnergyHub measures and controls when solar electricity should be used in the house, when excess production should charge the battery and when it should be exported to the electricity grid. It is bidirectional and also acts as a rectifier so that the battery can be charged from the mains when electricity prices are low.
03
The DC Grid
By utilizing the direct current grid, the Ferroamp system avoids conversion losses between solar cells and battery that otherwise occur when the solar electricity must be converted to alternating current and back to direct current in the battery. It is the direct current technology that makes the system flexible, controllable and scalable.
04
Phase balancing
Phase balancing handles imbalances in the property's electrical system by automatically moving current between the phases. It enables a more efficient use of electricity so that you do not need to have a higher main fuse, and there with higher network costs, than necessary.
05
Battery
With Ferroamp's smart control, the battery becomes a flexible tool in the electrical system that gives you both functional and financial benefit. It gives you control over your electricity connection and helps relieve the strain on the heavily strained electricity grid.
06
EnergyCloud
In the cloud-based EnergyCloud portal, you get high-resolution real-time data that provides an overview and insights into how your electricity usage looks. Here you also set up and adapt the system to your needs. With open APIs, the Ferroamp system can be integrated with other services so that you as a customer can take advantage of the opportunities created in the new electricity grid that is now emerging.
07
Electric vehicle charging
By Integrating the charging box with the Ferroamp system, you can control the electric car charging from EnergyCloud and utilize dynamic load balancing and phase balancing to protect the main fuse, cut power peaks and charge when electricity is cheapest or only when there is excess solar power.

”At Ferroamp, we develop solutions that give property owners power in the new energy landscape. When consumers gain control over their grid connection, the load on the grid also decreases, and the pace of electrification can increase.”
