NEW: ZEV with emergency power systems
You can now use an alternative tariff setup for emergency power systems.
Since there is often no space for the solar meter, you can now simply set up tariffs using the building connection and total consumption, without having to go to the trouble of adding the solar meter.
To do this, select the solar tariff incl. vZEV (Solartarif inkl. vZEV): - Reference meter: Consumption and balance (Referenzzähler: Verbrauch und Bilanz)
The tariffs are now calculated correctly without a solar meter, saving you cumbersome installations and conversions.
Note: If it is possible to install a solar power meter, please do not hesitate to do so. Complete coverage of the metering concept can compensate for incorrect data caused by meter defects, whereas systematically leaving meters out removes this possibility.
Small update on the SolarManager from August 2026
With the new SolarManager update, Picos are no longer controlled via the serial number but via the ID of the load management level 1 group.
In this short video, I show you step by step how this works so that you can make the correct settings on the smart-me side.
This is great to know: the update makes single-phase charging at 6 A (approx. 1.4 kW) possible, which is ideal for smaller PV surpluses. You can find out how to configure this in the SolarManager documentation.
