Low-Cost Industrial Heat with P2H and Heat Storage

Smart use of PV, the grid, markets, and flexibility for low heat costs.

With Suncom, you convert electricity (from PV or the grid) into process heat using a P2H flowheater and store heat when it’s most cost-effective. This allows you to purchase electricity smartly, utilize available grid capacity, avoid price peaks, and structurally lower your Levelized Cost of Heat (LCOH).

How It Works

  • Sources – PV installation and/or grid (with available kVA)
  • Conversion – P2H flowheater efficiently converts electricity into heat (100–475 °C)
  • Storage – Thermal buffer for several hours up to multiple days
  • Delivery – Industry receives heat directly or from storage, depending on price and demand

Energy Markets That Unlock Value

  • Imbalance market: profit from negative or low prices during excess solar or wind generation
  • Intraday & Day-Ahead markets: buy electricity during off-peak hours and plan production at low-price periods
  • Congestion management / redispatch: receive compensation for providing flexibility when the grid requires it.

Control is managed by an Energy Management System (EMS) that combines price, demand, storage level, and grid availability to continuously select the most economical scenario.

Why P2H + Heat Storage?

  • Lower costs: produce heat during low or negative power prices; use storage for later delivery
  • Flexibility: deliver heat directly to the process or from storage, whichever is cheaper at the time
  • COâ‚‚ reduction: electrify heat using (own) renewable power
  • Robustness: reduce exposure to price volatility and peak tariffs
  • Monetize flexibility: earn from grid-balancing and congestion services
