• gridX and SolaX Power unlock new market potential through the "Ready for gridX" cooperation model.

• Initially, three inverter product lines will be fully integrated and awarded the "Ready for gridX" label, with more products to follow.

• This partnership ensures SolaX customers gain access to innovative gridX functionalities, such as energy system control under §14a EnWG and dynamic tariffs.

Munich, 17 December 2024 – As the year comes to a close, gridX, Europe's leading smart energy company, announces a groundbreaking partnership under its "Ready for gridX" cooperation model with the Asian manufacturer SolaX Power (SolaX). This strategic cooperation caps off a successful year while marking the beginning of deeper collaboration within the energy sector. The goal of this latest "Ready for gridX" partnership is to unlock new market potential and develop innovative sales channels. At the same time, the two partners aim to elevate the interoperability between their products to a new level.

‍
In the initial phase, the certification and integration of three key SolaX product lines will be integrated into the "Ready for gridX" ecosystem. gridX first introduced "Ready for gridX" in early June. Through strategic partnerships with leading manufacturers (OEMs), the smart energy expert aims to reduce the complexity of interconnecting energy assets from different OEMs, ensure seamless integration in energy management and guarantee a cutting-edge, easy energy experience for installers and users. Specifically, the objective is to offer a plug-and-play installation without configuration effort and to ensure stable operation throughout the lifecycle of the assets. This stability allows users to benefit from the smooth integration of their home energy setup into the electricity market over the long term.

Close integration for optimal implementation

‍
The initial focus of the partnership is on the integration and "Ready for gridX" certification of the three SolaX series: X3 Hybrid G4, X3 Ultra and X1 IES. Future integrations of additional SolaX products, such as wallboxes or heat pumps, are planned. Collaboration with gridX ensures that SolaX customers can utilize all gridX use cases – including control under §14a of the Energy Industry Act (EnWG) and dynamic tariffs. The partner companies place particular emphasis on closely integrated processes during implementation and throughout the entire lifecycle management. This allows SolaX customers to benefit from smooth connectivity and optimized functionalities, increasing the effectiveness of their photovoltaic (PV) systems. "gridX is the leading pan-European specialist for HEMS. This gives us access to entirely new target groups and sales channels. Installers and technical planners will love the intended plug-and-play installation and the extensive combination possibilities with other devices that arise through the 'Ready for gridX' certification," explains Josef Guan, Country Manager of SolaX Power.
