The demands placed on modern energy systems are increasing: Today's end customers not only expect a reliable PV system, but also maximum transparency and clever control options. Installers, in turn, need partners who can help them fulfil precisely these requirements. The new compatibility between KOSTAL inverters and the Tibber app now creates precisely this connection: Hardware "Made in Germany" meets smart energy management from Scandinavia.

KOSTAL has stood for innovation in the field of inverters for decades. With the PLENTICORE series, KOSTAL has developed a real all-rounder: PV, storage, wallbox - everything can be flexibly combined. This is exactly where Tibber comes in: The app connects to the inverter and displays all energy flows in real time.

The special feature: End customers can see at a glance

• how much electricity the PV system is currently producing
• how high the self-consumption is
• what quantities are being fed into the grid
• and how the storage system is being charged or discharged

This creates transparency that goes beyond traditional monitoring.

The HEMS (Home Energy Management System) bridge comes into play to ensure that KOSTAL and Tibber work together seamlessly. This small interface ensures that the inverter is connected to Tibber via the Modbus protocol. For end customers, set-up is extremely simple: connect the bridge, open the app, connect - done.

The result: an intelligent energy system that reacts flexibly to consumption, generation and prices. And best of all: the system grows with you. Whether an additional battery, electric car or heat pump - Tibber can integrate further consumers and thus control the energy flows even more precisely.

The combination of KOSTAL and Tibber offers several advantages for end customers:

• Transparency: Energy flows are visible in real time
• Cost optimisation: Tibber offers dynamic electricity prices - in conjunction with storage and inverters, favourable time windows can be used optimally
• Smart charging: The electric car can be charged precisely when there is a PV surplus or when electricity is cheapest
• Future-proof: whether new consumers or changing tariffs - the system remains flexible

For many households, this is the next logical step: not only generating solar power, but also utilising it as cleverly as possible.

The integration also brings advantages for specialist partners. Those who install KOSTAL inverters will be able to offer an even more attractive overall package in future. Tibber and the app are a strong sales argument in consultations:

• Demonstrate added value for the customer
• Additional business through storage and wallbox integration
• Customer loyalty through innovative solutions

At the same time, setup is straightforward as KOSTAL and Tibber rely on standardised interfaces. This saves time during installation and increases customer satisfaction.

What does the whole thing look like in reality? A typical day with KOSTAL & Tibber could look like this:

• In the morning: the sun rises, the PV system starts up. The app shows the increasing production in real time
• Midday: Surplus electricity is used to charge the battery and connect the electric car. Tibber automatically regulates that only surplus electricity flows
• Evening: The storage system covers household requirements, while Tibber indicates that grid electricity is currently expensive
• At night: Tibber recognises favourable electricity prices on the spot market and - if desired - charges the battery additionally

The result: maximum cost efficiency and a good feeling of being truly sustainable.

The partnership between KOSTAL and Tibber is just the beginning. Further functions such as integration into the Virtual Power Plant (VPP) or extended automation are already on the roadmap. The aim is not only to make households more independent, but also to make them an active part of the energy system.

This creates a win-win scenario: customers save money and increase their independence, installers expand their range of services and the energy transition gathers pace.

KOSTAL and Tibber show what the future of energy looks like: Technology and digital solutions merge to form a system that not only generates electricity, but also utilises it optimally. For end customers, this means more control and lower costs. For installers: new business opportunities and satisfied customers.
