Flex EMS

Your PV system reacts to the electricity price. Automatically.

Flex EMS follows the Swiss spot price for every quarter hour. When it drops below zero, Flex EMS limits your system's feed-in through the manufacturer's cloud and releases it again as soon as the price rises. No device on site.

The Swiss electricity market

On the day-ahead market, electricity is traded for every hour of the next day. On sunny days with low consumption, the price drops below zero more and more often. Electricity flowing into the grid then has a negative value.

2024 292 hours with a negative price on 60 days, lowest price −428 EUR/MWh
2025 303 hours with a negative price on 70 days, lowest price −262 EUR/MWh

13 % of Swiss solar power was produced in these hours in 2024, 17 % in 2025.

How much does your system feed in at negative prices?

kWp
1,490 kWh per year in hours with a negative price

Based on the negative-price hours of 2024 and 2025. Assumptions: 1,000 kWh yearly yield per kWp and the same daily profile as all Swiss solar power, without self-consumption. With self-consumption, correspondingly less flows into the grid.
