Weiter einkaufenIn an era of rising energy costs and regulatory requirements like zero feed-in, Ecotracker offers a smart solution for precise monitoring and optimization of electricity consumption. This device from Everhome enables real-time data analysis directly at the smart meter, increasing the self-consumption of solar energy by up to 30 percent. DRBO Greenenergy seamlessly integrates Ecotracker into its balcony power plants and storage solutions to offer customers maximum efficiency and cost savings.
What is the current state of the energy industry?
The energy industry in Germany is struggling with volatile electricity prices and declining feed-in tariffs. According to the Federal Ministry for the Environment, electricity costs for private households rose by 12 percent in 2025 to an average of 42 cents per kWh. At the same time, the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) amendment promotes self-consumption optimization as grid feed-in is limited. Many households with balcony power plants only use 40 percent of the energy they generate themselves.
This development creates massive pain points: High dependence on grid electricity unnecessarily increases expenses. Consumption remains opaque, leading to inefficient production. DRBO Greenenergy addresses this with compatible systems such as plug-and-play balcony solutions.
What are the practical pain points?
Households lose hundreds of euros annually due to inaccurate consumption data. A study by Fraunhofer ISE shows that 60 percent of PV users operate their system suboptimally due to a lack of real-time insights. Particularly tenants with balcony power plants feed surplus electricity into the grid instead of storing it or using it specifically.
Grid operators demand zero feed-in, which is complicated without smart control. Many systems require expensive electrician installations. DRBO Greenenergy solves this with energy management systems that support Ecotracker and drive the decentralized energy transition.
Why do traditional solutions fail?
Traditional electricity meters offer no real-time data and no remote control. Smart meters from grid operators are often inaccessible or require monthly fees starting from 5 euros. These systems lack integration with inverters like Hoymiles or Deye from DRBO Greenenergy.
Paper-based analyses or simple apps only show historical values, not dynamic adjustment. This reduces the self-consumption rate to below 50 percent. In comparison, Ecotracker optimizes with 1-watt precision and a 3-second response time.
What is DRBO Greenenergy's Ecotracker solution?
Ecotracker is an IR reader magnetically attached to the smart meter that records consumption in real time. It communicates wirelessly with the free Everhome app and inverters to adjust power. DRBO Greenenergy offers it as an accessory to balcony electricity storage units and micro-inverters.
Core functions include zero feed-in, storage control, and consumer automation. Compatible with Zendure, Hoymiles, and AP Systems, it reaches up to 2400 watts of solar power. The app provides forecasts, CO2 balance, and export for tax reports.
