About the system
Take control of your grid connection and reduce electricity costs for both the tenant-owner association and your members. Ferroamp’s intelligent microgrid connects solar panels, property batteries, and electric vehicle charging with maximum controllability and minimal energy losses.
In a unified system, you get an overview and insights into the property’s electricity use and the ability to act according to new needs and conditions in a changing electricity market.
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. Supplement with a battery to use solar power when needed most.
More efficient electricity usage and lower main fuse with phase balancing
The patented phase balancing provides a more even load on the three phases in the property’s electrical system, creating space for more loads. This allows, for example, charging multiple electric vehicles simultaneously or at higher power without disturbing other electricity usage in the property. You can choose a lower main fuse and you will not have to use as thick cables when power requirements increase.
Smart use of battery as energy storage
With the Ferroamp system, battery storage becomes a flexible tool in the property. In addition to optimizing the use of solar power production, it can be used to avoid costly power peaks or to charge from the grid when electricity is cheapest and discharge when it is most expensive.
Efficient and cheaper electric vehicle charging
The active phase balancing frees up space for hassle-free electric vehicle charging. By integrating the chargers with the system, you can also control the charging dynamically and load balance to avoid power peaks. You can also choose to charge only when there is an excess of solar power.
Connect multiple buildings with PowerShare
By connecting multiple Ferroamp systems with our patented PowerShare, the roofs in the association with the best conditions for solar panels can be utilized, regardless of in which building the produced electricity will be used.
This will improve the calculations for the solar panel installation since a larger share of the electricity can be used within the property.

FAQ
Almost all electronics in our homes are powered by direct current. LED lighting, fans, refrigerators, TVs, computers, etc. In the devices, there are small rectifiers that convert the alternating current in our wall outlets to the direct current 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 direct current infrastructure, we reduce energy losses between solar cells and batteries and enable the future connection of more direct current components directly to the direct current network. This will enable significantly reduced energy losses and more efficient and intelligent energy use. Direct current technology also offers greater controllability than alternating current, resulting in a more flexible system.
PowerShare is Ferroamp’s patented technology for sharing electricity between buildings. A PowerShare connects the EnergyHub units in several different Ferroamp systems with their own grid connections in a network. This gives you the opportunity to share electricity from the solar panels and the storage capacity of the batteries between several buildings. We can then control the distribution of electricity smartly in the DC grid based on the measurement values we collect from each grid connection.
You do not need to replace your photovoltaic system to install the Ferroamp system. You can supplement your facility with an EnergyHub to get access to dynamic phase balancing, smart metering of imports, exports, energy use, etc. and to control and act as a load guard / power monitor for charging boxes for electric cars. You can also connect one or more batteries to control consumption and storage. If you also want to connect the solar cells to the Ferroamp system, you can supplement with solar string optimizers, connect the solar electricity production to the system.
A battery gives you as a user a number of possibilities and freedoms. You can increase the self-consumption of solar power by charging the battery during the day and discharging it when the solar panels stop producing. The battery can also be charged from the grid at night when electricity prices are generally lower to be discharged during the morning when prices are higher. You can also keep the power output from the grid down by cutting the power peaks and discharging when consumption in the property is at its highest. With a battery, it is also possible to participate in the frequency regulation market through aggregators. This means that some of the battery’s capacity is made available to help keep the frequency on the grid, which can be lucrative.
Ferroamp EnergyHub should be installed in a weather-protected space free from condensation. Since it is powered by a fan with roughly the same noise level as a desktop computer and generates some heat load, it can be advantageously installed in, for example, a garage, basement, attic, or storage room to avoid disturbing noise.
