With smart meter data you have access to high-resolution insight into energy consumption. This means that you do not only see daily or monthly data, but real-time or very detailed data that helps to recognize patterns. Think of peak consumption or the effect of sustainable energy sources such as solar panels.
This enables energy suppliers to purchase smarter, provide personalized advice to customers, and help installers adjust systems optimally.

Dynamic load balancing for efficient energy use
Sparky, Chargee’s smart P1 meter, helps with load balancing by monitoring energy consumption in real-time. It ensures that your energy consumption is distributed more evenly, preventing peaks. This helps keep the electricity grid stable and reduces energy costs.
Can be combined with other dongles
One of the unique features of the Sparky P1 meter is the built-in splitter. This means that in addition to Sparky, other devices can also be connected to the P1 port of the smart meter.
Think of an EV charger such as Easee, Wallbox, EVBox, Volt Time for load balancing or a dongle from a dynamic energy supplier, which gives the consumer even more control over their energy flows.
With the built-in splitter, no compromises are made: multiple devices can be used simultaneously without this affecting the data quality or functionality.
