Be powered by the sun - Maximise your PV system potential when you charge your forklift fleet with green energy
Choosing to power your business by solar energy not only reduces energy bills, it also lowers CO2 emissions and offers tax relief incentives. But you could take your self-consumption up a level and further improve the ROI of your system by using your self-generated energy to charge your forklift fleet.
Operate your forklift fleet intelligently and sustainably
To ensure your forklift and AGV’s operate in a reliable and environmentally friendly manner, Fronius offer a solution to charge your fleet using intelligent charging hardware and software.
Fronius Selectiva 4.0 chargers already utilise a patented charging protocol, Ri, that can reduce your energy usage by up to 30% but, when this is coupled with PV Connect, the energy savings and ROI of a PV system can be further improved.
PV Connect is a feature available with Fronius’ cloud-based software, Charge & Connect. Instead of purchasing expensive energy from the grid, PV Connect uses accurate weather and PV yield forecasting which allows a fleet manager to plan and synchronise when a truck is charged inline with the PV systems peak generation hours.
Easy configuration
Activating PV Connect is easy – you just need a Fronius battery charger connected to your Charge & Connect account and a PV system.
When combined with the load balancing charging algorithm, you are able to adjust the charging processes based on the availability of PV energy and specify when the self-generated energy will be used. This also reduces load spikes and your reliance on energy providers.
