Get more out of your depot’s power
Vialumina E-DEPOT controls solar panels, battery storage, charging and the grid connection at the vehicle depot – so your own solar power goes to the vehicles, the battery shaves peaks and electricity is bought when it is cheapest.
In brief
When a depot electrifies, the power demand rises sharply and the grid connection is often not enough. An on-site controller measures production and consumption and continuously decides where the electricity does the most good. Vialumina owns and maintains the controller, and control continues even if the connection is temporarily lost. Together with FLEET and CHARGE, vehicles, charging and energy live in the same system.

Suited for
- Vehicle depots and hauliers going electric
- Logistics and terminal facilities
- Sites with solar panels or battery storage
- Depots with limited grid capacity
What’s included in Vialumina E-DEPOT
Measure, optimise and control the depot’s energy – and fit more charging without waiting for the grid.
On-site controller (EMS)
Installed and owned by Vialumina – no hardware investment, and control runs locally.
Solar control
Your own solar power is used at the depot instead of being sold cheap and bought back expensive.
Battery control
The battery charges when power is cheap and discharges when demand or price is high.
Peak power control
The depot’s power draw is kept below your limit – lower capacity fees and more charge points on the same connection.
Coordinated with charging
Together with CHARGE, vehicle charging follows solar production, battery and electricity price.
Monitoring and reports
Production, self-consumption, peaks and battery in real time – with alarms and reports.
