Energy Solutions Introduces New Solar Management System

In the evolving landscape of the energy sector, Energy Solutions Co. is taking a significant step forward with the launch of their new EMS (Energy Management System) service, Solar Monitor FIP. Set to become available from October 1, 2025, this innovative service is designed specifically for solar power plants operating under the FIP system and those with integrated energy storage, or batteries.

This service aims to seamlessly monitor and control solar generation equipment alongside battery storage, responding effectively to directives from electric companies and aggregators to enhance operational stability and maximize profits.

Background and Market Environment

As demand for electricity control from companies such as Kyushu Electric has surged, traditional FIT (Feed-in Tariff) systems face profitability challenges. In response, there is a growing focus on the integration of FIP conversion and battery storage solutions. This dual approach not only aims to improve revenue but also enhances the resale value of power plants once their 20-year FIT period concludes.

Recognizing these market dynamics, Energy Solutions Co. embarked on the development and launch of the Solar Monitor FIP service, which is quickly gaining traction. Within just one month of its introduction, over 100 installations and prospective deployments have been recorded, reflecting a strong demand consistent with the expansion of power plants adhering to the FIP system.

Key Features of Solar Monitor FIP

1. Versatile Integration with Various PV and Battery Systems
The Solar Monitor FIP allows for the integration and control of multiple types of PV PCS (Photovoltaic Power Conditioning Systems) alongside battery PCS, all managed through a single interface, catering to different manufacturers’ combinations.

2. Response to Aggregator Charging and Discharging Control
This service receives instructions for charging and discharging via the cloud through API integration with aggregators, ensuring efficient management based on market dynamics while sending prompts to local EMS controllers.

3. Compliance with Electric Company Specifications
The system ensures compliance with electric company regulations, such as preventing reverse power flows during output control and managing the output according to contracted power limits with minimal delays (under 2 seconds). This includes optional controls for avoiding charges from the grid.

Management Features for Solar Power and Storage Systems

The Solar Monitor FIP service goes beyond basic monitoring; it provides a comprehensive management site that allows users to not only oversee their solar and battery installations but also utilize AI for forecasting energy production.

1. Bulk Management Capability
Users can manage multiple solar power systems from a single dashboard, enabling oversight of real-time performance and generating specific production plans leveraging AI insights. By selecting individual plants, users can easily access in-depth information.

2. Intuitive Diagnostic Displays
The service includes graphical displays that showcase production metrics and forecasts based on weather data, accessible via browsers, ensuring adaptability across various device types, including large screens, tablets, and smartphones.
