Sledujte v reálném čase cenu elektřiny. Jak aktuální hodinu, tak příštích až 31 hodin. Díky naší aplikaci můžete začít šetřit ihned –⁠ chytrý ukazatel ceny elektrické energie, který vám zobrazí cenu elektřiny v reálném čase, a dokonce i cenu energie v příštích až 31 hodinách. Co víc, v přehledu také zobrazí, z jakých zdrojů se právě energie vyrábí. Tím, že uvidíte cenu elektřiny dopředu, vám energetické hodiny pomohou s rozhodnutím: ● jak nastavit odložený start domácích spotřebičů, jako je například myčka, pračka či sušička, ● na kterou hodinu nastavit ohřev teplé vody elektrickým bojlerem či tepelným čerpadlem, ● při nabíjení elektromobilů, kdy dochází k opravdu výrazné ekonomické úspoře výběrem nejlevnější hodiny a dne, ● jak v zimě výhodně topit a využít akumulaci energie (platí pro elektrické vytápění). Věděli jste například, že rozdíl ceny elektřiny v průběhu dne je až 80%, a to především z důvodů zapojení obnovitelných zdrojů? Nejen na to vás ELIS upozorní. Cílem přístroje je zjednodušit pravidelné sledování cen energií a seznámit širokou veřejnost s možnostmi využití. Jedná se o celoevropské řešení, které v daných jazykových mutacích přináší cenu a energetické mixy pro každý národní trh s obnovitelnými energiemi zvlášť. Ruku v ruce pak následuje integrace dat do různých zařízení, která tak mohou šetřit náklady nejen domácnosti.
