True Energy Autonomy for Ecovillas
InvestorsA smart energy system combining solar PV, reversible heat pump, and AI-managed hot/cold tanks...
ThermoPilot is a fully autonomous smart energy system that integrates:
| 🔧 Component | Function |
|---|---|
| ☀️ Solar PV Array | Generates renewable electricity to power the heat pump and building |
| ❄️ Cold Tank (5 m³) | Stores thermal energy for cooling; recharged by solar during daytime |
| 🔥 Hot Tank (1–3 m³) | Provides heating and domestic hot water via stored solar heat |
| ♻️ Reversible Heat Pump | Switches between heating and cooling modes to charge both tanks |
| 🧠 AI Energy Orchestrator | Manages PV production, tank charging, building load, and grid interaction |
☀️ During sunny hours, the system charges tanks directly using solar energy. 🌙 At night or cloudy times, stored energy is used for heating, cooling, and hot water — without any battery bank. ⚙️ The AI ensures optimal performance, maximum self-consumption, and zero grid draw in good conditions.
