A Complete EMS Solution
Most energy management software stops at monitoring. SolarEdge ONE For C&I goes further. Companies gain streamlined procurement with one vendor cutting the messy integration and time-consuming setups of multi-party vendors.
ONE Controller for C&I + Storage + EMS + Cloud delivers a single-vendor energy management system that runs optimisation strategies locally, in real time — even if the internet drops.
Why it matters:
- Autonomous on-site control (no cloud dependency for execution).
- One support path, one roadmap.
- Designed for real C&I tariffs, constraints, and incentives.
Core Energy Management System Capabilities
A single energy management system for optimising cost, compliance, and performance across your entire site.
Additional EMS Capabilities

See what your EMS is doing. Know it’s working. Change it remotely.
Complex or Third-Party Energy Control Requirements?
Our Enterprise Services Group and Professional Services team can work with your organization to design and implement customized energy management system (EMS) strategies tailored to specific site requirements, and operational goals.
From complex multi-strategy optimisation to unique grid, market, or incentive program requirements, our experts can help configure flexible solutions that go beyond standard deployments. Where needed, they can also enable broader asset connectivity, helping bring additional energy devices and systems into a unified energy management solution.
Global Professionals Services solutions include:
- IEC 104 - Integrate utility/SCADA control using IEC 60870-5-104 for PV and hybrid sites.
- Advanced Aggregated Metering - Create a virtual meter by aggregating multiple meters into one monitoring point.
- MET Sensor Modbus Server - Expose environmental sensor data through a read-only Modbus TCP server.
One Vendor. One Energy Management System.
SolarEdge ONE EMS is a fully integrated C&I energy management stack:
Storage + ONE Controller + EMS + Cloud
Why customers choose a single-vendor EMS:
- No third-party licensing or compatibility risk
- One support path, one accountable partner

- Future-ready platform - no re-integration later
Energy Management System FAQs
What is an energy management system (EMS)?
An energy management system is a combination of software and on-site control that monitors, optimizes, and automates how a site uses energy. For commercial and industrial sites, an EMS coordinates solar, battery storage, grid power, and tariffs to reduce costs, improve performance, and ensure compliance — automatically.
How does an energy management system reduce energy costs?
An EMS reduces costs by actively controlling when and how energy is used. It can prioritise self-consumption of solar energy, limit expensive demand peaks, shift consumption to off-peak tariff periods, and optimize battery usage — all without manual intervention.
What’s the difference between energy management software and an EMS?
Energy management software typically focuses on monitoring and reporting. A full energy management system goes further by executing control strategies in real time. With SolarEdge, optimization runs locally on the controller, while cloud software adds visibility, configuration, and performance tracking.
Do energy management systems work without an internet connection?
Yes — if they are designed for edge execution. The SolarEdge EMS runs optimization strategies directly on-site via the controller, so core functions like peak shaving, self-consumption, and import/export limits continue operating even if cloud connectivity is lost.
Who should use an energy management system?
Energy management solutions are ideal for:
-
Commercial and industrial asset owners looking to reduce energy spend
-
Energy managers managing complex tariffs and performance targets
-
EPCs and system integrators seeking simpler commissioning
-
O&M teams needing remote visibility and control
Any site with solar, battery storage, or demand-based tariffs can benefit.
Is a third-party EMS required for advanced optimization?
Not usually. SolarEdge delivers a single-vendor energy management system that includes storage, controller, EMS logic, and cloud visibility — with no third-party EMS required. This reduces integration risk, simplifies support, and ensures the system is optimized for the hardware it controls.
