Can a battery reduce my peak consumption in the store or supermarket?

Yes. A battery can buffer peaks when multiple consumers are active simultaneously (cooling, HVAC, ovens, charging stations). In combination with EMS you can better control peaks and use your capacity more efficiently.

Which charging solution best fits a supermarket parking lot?

Usually a combination works best: AC charging points for customers who stay a bit longer and compact fast chargers for short stops and rotation. With load balancing/EMS, cooling and building consumption can still get priority, and with PV/battery you can further control peaks and energy costs.

Are solar panels still profitable without subsidies?

Often yes, especially with a lot of daytime consumption. The return today mainly depends on self-consumption. With EMS (and possibly battery) you increase the own use of your PV power.

Retail & hospitality

At a supermarket car park, a restaurant or a hotel, charging is a service to your customer. Powerland combines charging infrastructure with smart energy management, battery storage and solar panels into one system that fits your location, your visitors and your commercial model.

Three user groups, three charging profiles

Customers: charging during their visit

Short parking duration (30 min to 2 hours)
Easy start via QR or payment solution, no charge card required
Availability is crucial — an occupied charging spot means lost service

Hotel guests and long-stay parkers

AC at lower power is sufficient: cost-effective and low grid load
Car is fully charged in the morning (overnight charging)
Access via reception, booking or room card

Staff and company vehicles

Staff cars, pool vehicles and service vehicles at fixed spaces
Access via RFID or charge card
Consumption per user or department
Time windows and limits prevent occupation of customer spaces

Charging infrastructure retail and hospitality

You decide who charges, when and on what terms.

Your commercial model: public or semi-public

How you offer charging depends on your location and target audience. At a retail car park, charging points are typically fully public: anyone can charge and pays per kWh via QR code or payment solution. At a hotel or B&B, semi-public charging works better: guests gain access as part of their stay, while the charging points are not open to passers-by.

Public or semi-public — configurable per charging point
Semi-public ideal for hotels and hospitality: access for guests, not for passers-by
Time limits and blocking tariffs to prevent charging point hogging at public points
Transparent rates and smooth payment experience
Central management, reporting and exports via the Powerland platform

Service and maintenance

A charging station that is out of service in your car park is immediately noticed by your customers. And if there is a commercial model behind it, downtime also costs you revenue directly. That is why Powerland monitors your charging infrastructure remotely and intervenes in the event of faults — remotely where possible, on-site when necessary.

Solar panels

Large roofs on shops, supermarkets and hotels deliver high PV yield. Continuous daytime consumption ensures strong self-consumption.

Battery storage

Buffers peaks from cooling, HVAC, kitchen installations and charging infrastructure. Reduces your capacity tariff and supports future expansion of charging points.

Energy management

One platform (EMS) that controls cooling, HVAC, lighting, charging infrastructure and battery storage together. Prioritises critical consumers and automatically distributes available power.
