Service

How does the smart meter service work with autarc?

You enter the details of the existing meter and select what your customer needs: a smart meter, HEMS and/or a dynamic electricity tariff. autarc transmits the order to the installation partner network, which handles appointment scheduling, the meter exchange and any further installation work with the end customer.

Record meter data: You enter the details of your customer's existing electricity meter directly into autarc.
Select requirements: You choose what you would like to order: smart meter, HEMS and/or a dynamic electricity tariff.
Coordinate installation: The autarc partner network handles the meter exchange and schedules appointments directly with the end customer.
Activate control: The smart meter provides consumption data immediately. If a HEMS has also been ordered, it automatically manages the photovoltaic system, battery storage, heat pump and wallbox – optimised for generation and electricity prices.

What features are included?

3D planning

3D model from photos

Upload multiple photos of a building and have a dimensionally accurate 3D model automatically created. The software automatically recognizes structures, surfaces and proportions and converts them into a digital image.

machining

Calculate roof areas and slopes

The software extracts relevant planning data such as roof area, slope and edge lengths directly from the model. This information is automatically incorporated into your module allocation and simulation.

HEMS steuert Photovoltaik mit 6,2 kW, Batteriespeicher mit 78 %, Wärmepumpe mit 1,8 kW und Wallbox mit 3,7 kW

SMART CONTROL

System control via HEMS

The Home Energy Management System automatically links your photovoltaic system, battery storage, heat pump and wallbox into a single integrated system. Consumption and generation are continuously balanced against each other.

function

Integrated into your planning

The created 3D model is directly connected to other modules such as checks, PV yield or shading analysis. This allows you to work on the basis of real geometry and avoid duplicate entries.

Benefits of smart meter planning with autarc

No need for your own electrician: The certified partner network handles the entire meter replacement process and scheduling with the end customer.
Compliance met: Since 1 January 2025, smart meter installation has been mandatory for households with an annual consumption of 6,000 kWh or more, PV systems over 7 kW, and controllable loads over 4.2 kW.
Smart solutions instead of individual units: HEMS optimally connects PV systems, storage, and heat pumps.
New business area: With frequent use, you can obtain your own certification as an installer via SpotmyEnergy.
No separate tool: Ordering is integrated into the familiar autarc quotation process, requiring no additional time.
Scheduled appointments: The partner network coordinates meter replacement and installation directly with the end customer, without requiring any input from your business.

Important information

Flexible building data collection

What is a smart meter and when is it mandatory?

A smart meter records electricity consumption digitally and transmits it securely via a gateway. As of 1 January 2025, installation is mandatory for households with an annual consumption of 6,000 kWh or more, PV systems over 7 kW, and controllable loads over 4.2 kW (e.g. heat pumps, wallboxes, battery storage). The phased rollout aims for a 20% coverage rate for mandatory cases by the end of 2025, rising to 90% by the end of 2032. Responsibility lies with the metering point operator, the local grid operator, or a competitive provider such as SpotmyEnergy.

What is a Home Energy Management System (HEMS)?

A HEMS automatically controls the energy flow between a PV system, storage, heat pump, and wallbox based on solar generation or low electricity prices. This increases self-consumption and reduces grid dependency. It can be booked as an optional extra with a smart meter, but requires an intelligent metering system.

‍

What role does the dynamic electricity tariff play?

Since 1 January 2025, electricity suppliers have been required to offer customers with smart meters dynamic tariffs based on hourly wholesale prices. A HEMS automatically shifts the operation of heat pumps, wallboxes, or storage systems to cheaper times, thereby reducing electricity costs. The tariff only requires a smart meter and can be booked independently of a HEMS.

‍

What are the requirements for installation and grid connection?

Since 1 January 2024, new heat pumps, wallboxes, and storage systems over 4.2 kW are classified as controllable loads under Section 14a of the Energy Industry Act (EnWG). In exchange for reduced grid charges, the grid operator can throttle them during periods of congestion; the smart meter forms the basis for this. The equipment registration is handled by the autarc grid connection service, independently of the smart meter service.
