EcoPhi introduces EMS Compact for simpler C&I energy management applications EcoPhi is introducing EMS Compact, a streamlined energy management solution for simpler commercial and industrial energy applications. The new product is designed for C&I projects that require reliable monitoring and essential control functionality, but do not need the complexity of a fully customized energy management system. EMS Compact is already available with the EcoPhi Basic Controller, enabling system integrators, EPCs, battery system providers and energy solution companies to implement a compact EMS setup for standardized applications. With EMS Compact, EcoPhi is expanding its portfolio between monitoring-only solutions and more advanced, project-specific EMS configurations. The product is intended for applications such as C&I PV and battery systems, self-consumption optimization, basic control

New office for further growth At the turn of the year, we relocated to new office premises within Karlsruhe. Our previous office supported an important phase of company development and provided a solid environment for building and advancing our hardware and software solutions. As projects and collaboration requirements continued to grow, a change of location became necessary. The new office offers more space and improved conditions for focused development work, technical coordination and structured project execution. In particular, it better supports collaboration across software, hardware and system-related topics. The relocation represents an organisational step aligned with the company’s ongoing development. It provides a stable foundation for future projects and supports the continued expansion of our flexible energy monitoring, energy management

Successful completion of dena RES Programme South Africa As part of the dena Renewable Energy Solutions (RES) programme in South Africa, project activities focusing on energy system integration and practical EMS applications have been successfully concluded. The programme supports the deployment of sustainable and reliable energy solutions in markets facing structural grid challenges and evolving regulatory frameworks. Within this context, the focus was on energy management approaches that enable stable operation under variable grid conditions, including decentralised generation, battery storage and fluctuating supply scenarios. In particular, the South African market highlights the importance of flexible control strategies, transparent system monitoring and adaptable EMS architectures. The completion of the dena RES activities underlines the relevance of configurable and manufacturer-independent energy management

Solar Solutions Amsterdam 2025 – Energy Monitoring and Management with Self-Consumption Optimization From 11 to 13 March 2025, Solar Solutions Amsterdam brought together renewable energy professionals at Expo Greater Amsterdam to discuss and demonstrate the latest industry developments in solar technology, storage, smart energy systems and related solutions. At the event, our focus was on energy monitoring and energy management, particularly in the context of self-consumption optimisation and integration with dynamic electricity pricing. The discussions highlighted practical challenges in managing photovoltaic generation, load profiles and storage in environments where tariff signals and consumption patterns vary throughout the day. Clear and reliable energy monitoring is a prerequisite for informed decision-making and effective control strategies, while enhanced EMS functionality supports optimisation of

Press release: Innovative PV Monitoring and Control Solution from Karlsruhe Expands to the Netherlands Karlsruhe, Germany – The Germany-based startup EcoPhi is setting new standards in PV monitoring and control.

Launch of the New EcoPhi Platform – Modular, Flexible and Manufacturer-Independent The EcoPhi platform has been fully redesigned and restructured. This release represents a fundamental architectural update rather than an incremental iteration, with the goal of improving usability, extensibility and long-term scalability across diverse energy system environments. A key focus of the new platform is improved visualisation, navigation and user guidance. Data views, system states and control options have been reworked to provide clearer context and reduce complexity for users managing heterogeneous energy systems. The revised navigation structure supports faster access to relevant functions and a more consistent workflow across monitoring, analysis and control features. From a technical perspective, the new platform establishes a solid foundation for manufacturer-independent integration of
