What the company does
SMARTFOX develops hardware and software that bring together photovoltaic generation, electricity consumption and energy storage, with the aim of increasing self-consumption. (source: smartfox.at) Its flagship product, the SMARTFOX Pro 3 energy manager, monitors generation and consumption, then automatically directs available energy to connected devices. These include hot-water heating elements, heat pumps, wallboxes, battery storage systems, pool pumps, air conditioning systems and infrared heaters. Its manufacturer-independent controls bring electricity, heating, mobility and storage together in one system. (source: smartfox.at) The product range also includes the SMARTFOX Pro Charger for electric vehicle charging, the Energy Meter for measuring electricity flows, and My SMARTFOX, a monitoring solution with an app, live views, energy and power charts, and remote access. (source: smartfox.at) The Pro Heater 6K stores surplus photovoltaic electricity in up to 15 stages and covers an output range of 220 watts to 6 kilowatts; other Power2Heat products control electric heating circuits. (source: smartfox.at) Dynamic load management takes a building’s connection capacity into account, while the energy manager can control and prioritise up to five Pro Chargers. The product range also supports dynamic electricity tariffs and is designed for both private households and small and medium-sized businesses. (source: smartfox.at)
Projects and track record
SMARTFOX’s documented track record is primarily made up of products and system solutions for residential and small commercial photovoltaic installations, integrating generation with electric vehicle charging, hot-water production, heat pumps and battery storage. (source: smartfox.at) For installations with multiple charging points, the platform can control and prioritise up to five SMARTFOX Pro Chargers, for example at residential buildings, workplaces and smaller commercial sites. (source: smartfox.at) On 3 June 2025, SMARTFOX announced a strategic partnership with Austrian solar company Sonnenkraft. (source: smartfox.at) The joint offering combines Sonnenkraft photovoltaic modules, inverters and battery storage with SMARTFOX energy management, electric vehicle charging solutions and hot-water technology. SMARTFOX directs surplus solar energy to vehicle charging, hot-water production or battery storage, helping customers use energy on site rather than draw electricity from the grid later.

A German sales subsidiary in Cologne serves the German market, while its products are also positioned for the wider European market. (source: smartfox.at)
