Smart home energy technology manufacturer, myenergi, has officially launched its eddi solar energy diverter in France. This development aligns with myenergi’s strategic growth ambitions and marks a pivotal moment in its European expansion.
France, one of Europe’s largest residential energy markets, boasts over 38 million households. Approximately 39% of these are equipped with electric hot water tanks. Notably, the export tariff for domestic solar installations under 9kW has recently decreased from €0.12 to €0.04/kWh, spurring a growing demand for self-consumption technologies.
The eddi diverter is engineered to optimise the use of surplus self-generated energy for water heating. By directing electricity to areas of highest demand, the device aids homeowners in reducing energy bills, decreasing grid dependency, and enhancing green energy consumption.
Eddi is fully compatible with major European energy tariffs, including Base, Heures Creuses, and Tempo, enabling households to maximise renewable energy utilisation. Andrew Clint, Group CEO of myenergi, highlighted France’s strategic importance due to its developed energy infrastructure and rising domestic solar adoption rates. Clint stated, “Launching eddi into France will see us bring proven technology to European households, building on our existing presence in Ireland, The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany to support the global transition towards a more decentralised energy system.”
The introduction of eddi in France is part of myenergi’s broader European strategy to develop an integrated smart home energy ecosystem. Future additions to the platform, including battery storage and EV charging technology, will enhance connectivity, optimisation, and automation.
