About the system
With the Ferroamp system, you can cut electricity costs while relieving the local electrical grid. The scalable system connects solar panels, property batteries, and electric vehicle charging with a DC grid that gives you complete control over the electricity in the building.
Whether you own or are about to build residential properties, commercial premises, industrial properties, or agriculture, Ferroamp has energy optimization solutions. By reducing the load on the electrical grid and enabling more renewable energy in the grid, the property also becomes part of the energy transition.
More profitable solar panels
The Ferroamp system gives you an intelligent inverter for your solar panels. The DC-technology provides fewer conversion losses, and the controllability makes it possible to utilize the property’s production more instead of selling it to the grid. With increased control over exported electricity it will be possible to install more solar energy production in the same area without risking an overload.
Limit grid connection and cut power peaks
Ferroamp’s unique phase balancing utilizes the space in the electrical system more efficiently, and with intelligent control of battery for energy storage, power peaks can also be cut. Together, this allows new loads in the form of, for example, electric vehicle charging without raising the fuse level or reinforcing the grid connection. This can mean significant savings in time, money, and materials.
A flexible system ready to scale up
The system is modular, which means that if there is a need for a larger solar installation or higher energy storage capacity, the system can be easily expanded to meet new demands. The system is also continuously updated, and with open API:s, it can be integrated with other equipment.
Control, measure, and evaluate
With the EnergyCloud web portal, you get an overview of electricity consumption so you can control and optimize processes. It also provides a basis for further investments and the ability to take control in a volatile electricity market.
Connect multiple buildings with PowerShare
By connecting multiple Ferroamp systems with our patented PowerShare, buildings with the best conditions for solar panels can be utilized regardless of in which building the produced electricity is to be used. Increased self-consumption improves the economic calculation for solar panels and also contributes to the possibility of installing more solar panels in an area without risking overloading the electrical grid.

FAQ
Almost all electronics in our homes are powered by direct current. LED lighting, fans, refrigerators, TVs, computers, etc. In these devices, small rectifiers convert the alternating current (AC) in our wall outlets to the direct current (DC) needed to power the devices. Solar panels produce direct current and batteries in both our homes and cars are powered by direct current. By building a DC infrastructure, we reduce energy losses between solar cells and batteries and enable the future connection of more DC components directly to the DC network. This will enable significantly reduced energy losses and more efficient and smarter energy usage. DC technology also offers greater controllability than AC, providing a more flexible system.
PowerShare is Ferroamp’s patented technology for sharing electricity between buildings. PowerShare builds on Ferroamp’s direct current technology and DC network, but in addition to connecting solar panels and batteries to the DC network, additional Ferroamp systems with their own EnergyHubs are connected to their own grid connections. This allows you to share electricity from the solar panels and storage capacity in the batteries between multiple buildings. The distribution of electricity can then be intelligently controlled in the DC network based on the measurement data we collect from each grid connection with the current transformers connected to each EnergyHub
You do not need to replace your installation to use the Ferroamp system. You can supplement your installation with an EnergyHub to access dynamic phase balancing, smart measurement of import, export, energy usage, etc., as well as to control and act as a load guard/power guard for electric vehicle charging stations. You can also connect one or more batteries to control consumption and storage. If you want to connect the solar panels to the Ferroamp system, you can do so by adding solar string optimizers to integrate the solar electricity production into the system.
The Ferroamp system has three open APIs that can be used for integrations with other control and visualization systems. These are a CloudAPI, a Modbus TCP API, and what we call the Ext-API, which is an MQTT client API. The Ferroamp system also has integrations with several charging stations through the OCPP 1.6-J communication protocol. See which charging stations we support here. The Ferroamp system also has an API integration with CTEK charging stations that access measurement data on the property’s available currents based on consumption and main fuse level, as well as an integration with SolarFox for visualization of production and measurement data.
