On July 2, Samsung Electronics and Q CELLS introduced a brand new strategic partnership that may see the 2 corporations mix their technological experience to supply “zero energy home” options.
A zero power house is one which turns into power self-sufficient by solely using power that’s drawn from the house itself. This self-sufficiency is achieved by each producing power by means of renewables like photo voltaic, and decreasing power consumption by means of utilization of extra environment friendly units.
Under this new partnership, the 2 corporations will work in direction of establishing new options through which Samsung’s SmartThings Energy service is linked to Q CELLS’ photo voltaic modules and power storage methods (ESS). This resolution would permit householders to supply and retailer their very own power, then harness the SmartThings IoT platform to watch and robotically optimize power consumption of their dwelling home equipment and warmth pumps (EHS, Eco Heating System).
For occasion, the answer may robotically change dwelling home equipment which might be linked to the platform to energy-saving mode at evening or on cloudy days, when photo voltaic power seize ranges are low.
Speaking in regards to the new partnership, Jaeseung Lee, president and head of Samsung Electronics’ Digital Appliances Business, mentioned, “We look forward to our collaboration with Q CELLS expanding our presence and strengthening the Samsung brand in global markets. We anticipate great synergy between Samsung’s smart home appliances and SmartThings platform, and Q CELLS’ solar energy and storage solutions.”
Q CELLS CEO Hee Cheul (Charles) Kim added that, “We expect the partnership between these two Korean companies to provide our global customer base with even more competitive energy solutions. We are hopeful that synergizing with Samsung Electronics will help strengthen our leading position in the global residential energy market.”
