Reduce your operational energy costs, avoid high quarter-hourly peaks, and manage your charging stations, solar panels, and batteries all in one central platform with KingConnect Pro.
For many companies in Flanders, peak consumption periods are a major financial burden due to the capacity charge. At the same time, dynamic energy contracts and smart-controlled systems offer enormous opportunities.
KingConnect automates your entire energy management process:
Prevent sky-high grid costs with peak shaving. KingConnect monitors your business's energy consumption in real time and automatically activates the battery to avoid 15-minute peaks.
Dynamic Load Balancing prevents overloading when all electric vehicles start charging at the same time.
Based on weather forecasts, capacity is reserved in the battery for the solar energy generated.
Shift your energy usage to the cheapest times: store energy when it's cheap and discharge the battery when energy prices are at their highest.

To measure is to know. The KingConnect portal gives you detailed insight into your company’s energy flows 24/7.
KingConnect automatically manages your battery, charging infrastructure, and solar panel inverters at the times that are most advantageous both financially and in terms of energy efficiency.
A battery is only truly valuable if it charges and discharges at the right time. Our EMS controls your battery based on a number of factors.
During a peak in electricity consumption, the battery temporarily provides additional power to keep grid draw under control.
Based on day-ahead prices, the EMS determines when charging is inexpensive and when discharging is profitable.
Based on the weather forecast, the EMS knows in advance how much solar energy will be available the next day. This allows the battery to free up space in time to charge to its maximum capacity during the day using its own solar energy.
Solar panels provide the greatest value when you actually use the electricity they generate yourself. The EMS ensures that your system and your energy consumption are always in sync.
The more you use electricity while your solar panels are generating power, the less you pay. The EMS shifts consumption—for example, from your charging station and battery—to the times when production is highest.
Negative energy prices mean that you pay to feed electricity into the grid. The EMS prevents this by curtailing your solar energy in a timely manner. When prices are extremely negative, it goes a step further: it curtails solar production and actively draws energy from the grid to take advantage of that benefit.
Using multiple charging stations at the same time can put a heavy strain on your utility connection. The EMS distributes the available power while taking solar generation and current energy prices into account.
The available power is continuously distributed among all active charging points, without requiring you to upgrade your grid connection. Each vehicle charges as fast as the situation allows.
When the sun is generating enough power, the EMS prioritizes charging with your own solar energy. This way, your vehicles run as much as possible on the electricity you generate yourself, at the lowest possible cost.
Outside of daylight hours, the EMS schedules charging sessions for the cheapest times based on day-ahead prices.
Energy prices fluctuate significantly throughout the day and can even turn negative. The EMS closely monitors the market and automatically adjusts your consumption and storage.
Each 15-minute period has a different price on the day-ahead market. The EMS proactively schedules consumption and storage during the cheapest hours.
Unexpected discrepancies between expected and actual consumption lead to imbalances in the energy market. By carefully balancing your consumption and generation, you help keep the grid in balance and receive compensation for doing so.
Through our EMS, flex providers can control the battery and deploy it in flex markets, thereby generating additional revenue while supporting the power grid and reducing the load on it.
For small and medium-sized businesses with solar panels, a battery system, and a single charging station
For large companies with solar panels, a battery system, and about ten charging stations.
Yes, KingConnect is designed to be largely brand-independent. We integrate seamlessly with most leading brands of inverters (such as SMA or Sungrow), charging stations, and battery systems. During our energy scan, our engineers analyze your current setup and confirm compatibility.
No, a dynamic contract is not required to get started with our EMS. The EMS also works with fixed or variable contracts and delivers immediate value by balancing your consumption, storage, and generation.
Nevertheless, we strongly recommend a dynamic contract. Precisely because the EMS continuously adapts to fluctuating energy prices, a dynamic contract allows you to get the most out of your system. The combination of the two is where the greatest savings are realized.
In Belgium, as a business, you pay not only for the energy you consume, but also for the peak power you draw from the grid—something many business leaders are unaware of. The capacity charge is determined by your highest 15-minute reading each month and accounts for a significant portion of your energy bill, even if that peak occurs only once a month.
An EMS continuously monitors your energy consumption and automatically intervenes when a peak is imminent—for example, by activating the battery at that moment or temporarily limiting flexible consumption such as charging stations. This keeps your peak power under control, which directly translates into lower grid costs on your bill.
The payback period varies from situation to situation and depends on your system, your energy consumption, and the type of contract you have. What is certain, however, is that an EMS ensures that all your systems (solar panels, battery, and charging stations) work together more efficiently and waste less energy.
The cost of an EMS is relatively low compared to the savings it generates. In almost all cases, the annual savings far exceed the subscription cost, meaning the system pays for itself year after year.
Through our platform, we continuously monitor your system remotely. As soon as an anomaly or problem is detected, we are immediately notified and can take swift action.
By continuously monitoring your entire system, you gain insight into issues that previously went unnoticed. This helps prevent many problems before they even arise. In practice, an EMS therefore solves more problems than it causes.
