Samsung Electronics announced on the 13th that it has formed a partnership with the world's number one solar smart inverter company, SolarEdge. The company plans to actively expand the futuristic residential model, 'Net Zero Home,' in the global market.

Net Zero Home is a system that reduces carbon emissions through Samsung SmartThings Energy service, which monitors power usage and uses AI saving mode to automatically conserve energy for appliances connected to the app.

Samsung Electronics stated that it began cooperation with Hanwha Q CELLS in 2021 and has partnered with solar companies such as SMA and Maxeon. With the recent contract with SolarEdge, it has laid the groundwork for expanding its business in Europe.

Starting at the end of this month, SmartThings Energy will newly provide hourly carbon intensity information. Consumers can check predicted carbon emissions data by product and participate in carbon reduction by operating products during times of low carbon intensity. Carbon intensity refers to the amount of carbon emissions generated per 1 kWh of electricity consumption.

The 'Resident Demand Response Service' will be expanded overseas following its domestic launch. This service provides incentives from local governments when residents voluntarily reduce energy usage during peak electricity consumption hours. Since March, Samsung Electronics has been offering the Resident Demand Response (DR) service in cooperation with Seoul City and Korea Electric Power Corporation, providing energy incentives. Last month, it collaborated with Naju City in Jeollanam-do. From the end of this month, DR services will be piloted in California and New York in the United States.

Samsung Electronics announced that it will showcase SmartThings Energy and EHS (Eco Heating System) energy-saving solutions to its partners at Intersolar, Europe's largest energy exhibition, held in Munich, Germany from the 14th to the 16th (local time).

Park Chan-woo, Vice President of Samsung Electronics' Home Appliance Business Division, said, "Through the SolarEdge partnership, we have laid the foundation for expanding 'Net Zero Home.' We will continue to collaborate with various companies to help users save energy more easily and conveniently and practice sustainability in their daily lives."
