Local EMS controller
EnergyPilot
The brain of your local system — an EMS controller with metering and edge computing. It measures at the grid connection and decides on site where every watt goes.

EnergyPilot
The brain of your local system
An EMS controller with metering and edge computing. EnergyPilot measures what your home uses and produces at the grid connection and decides on the device itself where every watt goes — battery, EV or grid.
Two models
Single-phase or three-phase.
VDG-EM-1
Single-phase
For single-phase homes and balcony or plug-in systems.
VDG-EM-3
Three-phase
For three-phase homes. Can also work as three single-phase measuring points.
Edge computing
The decisions happen in your home, not in the cloud.
EnergyPilot is an edge controller: it measures, decides and acts on the device itself. The cloud is for monitoring, history and remote settings, not for control.
- MeasureAt the grid connection, with clip-on CTs
- DecideEMS logic runs on the controller
- ActCommands go straight to the devices on site
Decides on site
Export limits, surplus routing and load balancing are worked out on the controller, inside the home network.
Reacts as things change
No round trip to a remote server, so control follows the home as loads switch on and off.
Keeps working offline
If the internet drops, control carries on. VIP Cloud catches up on history when the connection returns.
Cloud optional for control
Monitoring, history and remote settings come from VIP Cloud; the energy decisions do not depend on it.
Where it helps
Six jobs for one local controller.
Export limitation
Keeps feed-in at zero or a set limit, as your grid connection requires.
Surplus to battery or EV
Sends surplus solar to PowerCube, SolarHub or ChargeFlow before the grid.
See what you use and save
Home consumption, grid import and export, and how much of your own solar you used — in VIP Cloud.
Protect the main fuse
Dynamic load balancing for ChargeFlow keeps the home under the limit.
Measure existing PV Monitoring only
Monitors the output of an existing inverter of any brand with the spare CTs of the VDG-EM-3 (monitoring only, no control).
Three single-phase circuits
One VDG-EM-3 can measure three separate single-phase circuits.
Installation
Installed in the distribution board by a qualified electrician, with the CTs supplied.
In the home
In the distribution board, next to your system.
Distribution board
DIN-rail mounted, clip-on CT
With storage
Coordinates PowerCube and SolarHub
Commissioning
Four steps.
01
Mount
Snap onto the 35 mm DIN rail in the distribution board.
02
Connect
Wire the grid terminal: L and N, or LA, LB, LC and N.
03
Clip the CT
On the grid-side conductor — no need to cut the main cable.
04
Pair
Add the device in the VIP Cloud app over Wi-Fi.
Installation by a qualified electrician. CTs are included.

- EnergyPilot measures for control and monitoring. It is not a billing meter.
- For currents above 100 A, contact VaySunic: a solution with a custom CT is available.
- EnergyPilot does not control third-party inverters; their output can be monitored at power level.
A single plug-in unit up to 800 W (such as SolarCore VM800WE-P2 or SolarKit) and PowerCube VA800D may be connected by the owner where local rules allow; where national rules permit higher plug-in limits, SolarCore P4 can also be connected by plug. Other SolarCore systems on an AC trunk cable, PowerCube VA2000D and above, VB5000D packs, SolarHub, ChargeFlow and EnergyPilot are installed by a qualified electrician.
