A ‘Copilot’ at home to help you save energy step by step  

 

The solar energy market shifts from installation to management  

Amsterdam, February 27, 2025 – An innovative feature helps households gain insight into their energy  consumption and save energy in a targeted way. The system, launched by Soly, one of the market  leaders in solar energy, offers around one hundred personalised recommendations, such as washing  at a lower temperature, replacing an old dryer, defrosting the freezer, or installing a smart  thermostat. On average, users can achieve a 6.4% reduction in their energy costs, directly lowering energy bills. 

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 want to not only provide consumers with more  insight but also help them maximize the benefits of their generated solar power," explains Milan van  der Meulen, co-founder of Soly. "By shifting consumption to times when solar energy is being  produced, users can increase their self-consumption and reduce costs.”  

More than 100 actionable insights 
The system analyses energy consumption and categorizes it into areas such as heating, cooling, and  standby power. Based on these insights, users receive personalized tips. Van der Meulen explains:  "We have formulated more than 100 concrete recommendations, ranging from simple actions like  defrosting a freezer to larger steps such as purchasing a more efficient dryer. This makes energy  savings accessible and achievable for everyone."  

A step forward without expensive investments
With Soly Copilot, Soly offers an affordable and effective  alternative that helps customers use energy smarter without requiring large investments. With this new feature, Soly addresses the need for more efficient energy management and supports households in their transition towardmore sustainable energy consumption.
