Tobias Mitterexplains how retrofitting existing home energy systems – like PVs, batteries and heat pumps – adds intelligence without replacing hardware, making energy systems more sustainable and cost-efficient.
Learn how energy management systems connect older assets and optimize performance through solar charging, price-based consumption and load balancing.
From fragmented device protocols to complex German regulations like §14a and EEG §9, discover what makes retrofitting such a complicated, but necessary, task.
Tobias Mitter discusses how gridX supports both installers and manufacturers through initiatives like the “Ready for gridX” program to accelerate smart retrofits.
Tobias Mitter forecasts a future where grid pressure, consumer demand for unified apps and OEMs’ upselling strategies make retrofitting a central part of energy transition strategies.
“People don’t want four apps – they want one. Retrofitting enables that unified smart home experience.”
“With energy systems, the challenge isn’t just coding – it’s about working with real hardware, in real homes, under real conditions.”
“Our ‘Ready for gridX’ program helps OEMs accelerate integration. That’s where the future of retrofitting lies: collaboration.”
