De nieuwe Zelfstroom app geeft een uniek inzicht in de stroom die je thuis verbruikt. De app combineert de gegevens van de slimme meter met de actuele stroomopbrengst van je zonnepanelen. Zon-der dat je naar de meterkast of de omvormer op zolder hoeft te lopen, zie je op één plek, in de app precies je stroomverbruik. Andere slimme functies zijn: Met de zon-grafiek weet je wanneer de opbrengst van je zonnepanelen het grootst is. Handig om te bepalen wanneer je de wasmachine laat draaien. Zie direct hoeveel je nog moet betalen aan de energie-leverancier. Geen verrassingen achteraf. Bekijk en vergelijk je verbruik en opbrengst door de tijd, dankzij heldere grafieken en overzichten. Zo wordt zelf stroom maken echt een sport! Met de vriendenfunctie nodig je eenvoudig vrienden uit om ook zelf stroom te maken en te profiteren van Vriendenvoordeel.
