Panel size
The installed size of your solar system.
Product · Plan
Use your own sun and storage first
Energy you generate or have stored is the cheapest energy on site. The plan sends it to the vehicles first and leaves room for midday output instead of reacting to it.
How the plan uses it
Forecast, use, store, release
- 01
Forecast the sun
RiDERgy predicts when the sun will shine at your site, using the size, inclination and orientation of your panels.
- 02
Use it first
Charging is planned so that spare solar goes to the vehicles first, for maximum self-consumption and minimum curtailment.
- 03
Store the surplus
Stand-alone batteries are planned together with charging and solar, not on a separate schedule of their own.
- 04
Release when it counts
Stored energy is used when it helps most, within every fuse rating and without leaving vehicles short at departure.
On a summer day
Solar and charging, planned together
The same example depot on 17 June 2026. Generation is forecast, so the plan can use the sun while vehicles are parked and the cheap hours for the rest.
Example depot with a 95 kWp solar system, real day-ahead prices, one day from 12:00 to 12:00. Not a promise for every site.
What we need
A few facts about your panels and battery
Inclination and orientation
How the panels are tilted and which way they face, taken in during onboarding.
Battery
Whether you have a stand-alone battery, and how it connects to the site.
Meters
Where generation and storage are measured, so the plan can see them.
Vehicle batteries as storage Roadmap
Using vehicle batteries as storage is on the roadmap, with compatible vehicles and chargers.
Questions about solar and storage
What if we have a solar energy system?
Our software optimizes solar energy generation to ensure maximum self-consumption. We predict when the sun will shine, using the size, inclination and orientation of your panels, ensuring minimum curtailment and maximum savings. We also optimize stand-alone batteries.
Do I need solar or a battery to use RiDERgy?
No. The plan works without them. Where you have them, it plans them together with charging, building load and prices.
Can you plan a battery I have not bought yet?
The simulation can replay your site with and without one, on real prices, before you decide. Ask us about your setup.
