First measurement, then selection
Charge for reactive energy? Start with measurement, not with the device
We check the items on the invoice, the load profile and the nature of the reactive energy. Only on this basis do we select a variant — and verify the effect with a control measurement.

We do not promise savings or "payback in X months" before the analysis. The effect depends on the tariff, profile and operation — and we check it after implementation.
When it is worth it
Signals that this is a topic for analysis.
- A charge for reactive energy has appeared on the invoice
- The fee increases after lighting modernisation or PV installation
- The facility has inverters, motors, transformers, HVAC or power supplies
- The existing capacitor bank is operating incorrectly
- The load profile changes significantly during the day
- You want to verify power quality and investment profitability
Inductive or capacitive?
- we distinguish the nature of reactive energy before selection,
- capacitive (common after PV) requires a different approach than inductive,
- incorrect selection can shift the problem rather than eliminate it.
Therefore, we do not select devices "blindly" without measuring the profile.
Calculator
Calculate how much reactive energy is costing you.
Two ways: the invoice amount or the kWh/kvarh consumption from the billing period.
Estimate based on invoice data — rates and billing methods vary between operators and tariffs, and selecting the right device requires analyzing the nature of the energy (inductive/capacitive). The result does not constitute an offer.

Process
From invoice to control measurement.
- Invoice qualificationTariff and distribution items — full page with units.
- Load dataDevices and changes in the installation.
- Profile measurementWhen an invoice is not enough for safe selection.
- Nature of energyDistinction between inductive and capacitive.
- VariantsSolution, cost, and limitations — for your decision.
- InstallationInstallation or modernisation upon approval.
- Control measurementVerification of the effect and monitoring.
What you get

FAQ
Questions about reactive energy.
How to identify a reactive energy charge?
Look for items related to inductive or capacitive reactive energy on your distribution invoice. For qualification, a full page with units, period, and tariff is required.
Is the invoice alone enough for selection?
It is sometimes sufficient for an initial assessment, but without measurement, it is not always possible to safely select a device for a variable profile and harmonics. In such cases, we propose parameter logging — see quality of energy.
Do you guarantee savings?
Not before analysis. The effect depends on charges, profile, load changes, the device, and subsequent operation. We verify it with a measurement after implementation — and that is how we talk about it.
Does photovoltaics affect compensation?
It can change the consumption profile and the nature of charges (often towards capacitive energy). This requires an assessment of the entire system, rather than an automatic replacement of a single component.
