PV-OPTIM Dashboard

PV-OPTIM Dashboard: Home Energy Planning, Monitor and Control Assistant


PV-OPTIM Dashboard is an advanced Home Energy Management System developed as a free software solution for prosumers to forecast the power generated by the photovoltaic systems using weather predictions and to maximize the consumption from local solar generation.

If the solar energy is not available, it aims to minimize the electricity cost by finding the best time slots to optimally schedule the electric appliances.

The main functionalities of PV-OPTIM Dashboard are:

  • Forecast photovoltaic power using weather data and the configuration of the PV system
  • Manage electric appliances
  • Plan and optimize daily consumption
  • Analyze your daily cost, revenue and performance of the PV system
  • View weather forecast
  • Control appliances (only in the full version of the app – please send email)
