Batterie virtuelle dans les Alpes Maritimes.

MyLight Virtual Battery: store your solar surplus without a physical battery

Installation in Roquefort-les-Pins, Cannes, Mougins, Valbonne and Mouans-Sartoux

With the rapid development of photovoltaic systems in the Alpes-Maritimes, more and more homeowners are asking the same question:how can you make the most of the solar electricity you produce but do not consume immediately?

The MyLight150 virtual battery provides an innovative, cost-effective solution that is perfectly suited to single-family homes in Roquefort-les-Pins, Cannes, Mougins, Valbonne and Mouans-Sartoux. It allows you to store your solar surplus virtually on the grid, without installing a physical battery, while significantly improving the profitability of your photovoltaic system.

What is a virtual battery?

A virtual battery does not store electricity in equipment installed in your home, unlike a traditional lithium battery.

The principle is simple:

• Your photovoltaic panels produce electricity

• The energy not consumed immediately is fed into the Enedis public grid

• This energy is recorded as credited kilowatt-hours

• When your production is insufficient (at night, in winter, or during poor weather), you consume these previously injected kWh

You therefore use your own solar energy shifted over time, without material constraints or maintenance.

How does the MyLight150 virtual battery work?

The MyLight virtual battery is based on an energy compensation mechanism managed by the electricity supplier MyLight150.

Each kilowatt-hour injected from your photovoltaic installation in Cannes, Mougins, Valbonne, Roquefort-les-Pins or Mouans-Sartoux is recorded in your energy account.When you consume electricity from the grid, these kWh are automatically deducted from your balance.

This system provides:

• Unlimited virtual storage

• Full valorisation of your solar surplus

• Seasonal energy use (from summer to winter)

The solution is compatible with single-phase and three-phase residential photovoltaic installations, commonly found in local villas.

How much does a virtual battery cost?

The absence of a physical battery significantly reduces the initial investment.

At REGIS ELECTRIC, a local installer based in Valbonne and operating in Roquefort-les-Pins, Cannes, Mougins and Mouans-Sartoux, the standard modules required to implement a virtual battery, as well as:

• labour,

• technical configuration,

• and all administrative procedures,

are billed at approximately:

• €2,000 for a single-phase installation

• €2,500 for a three-phase installation

These prices correspond to a complete, ready-to-operate installation that complies with grid requirements.

In addition, a monthly MyLight150 subscription applies, covering the virtual storage service and the management of injected and returned kilowatt-hours.

Is there an app to monitor the virtual battery ?

Yes. The MyLight virtual battery is connected to an energy monitoring application, accessible on smartphones and computers.

It allows you to view at any time:

• Your photovoltaic production

• Your electricity consumption

• Your available kilowatt-hour balance

• Energy exchanges with the Enedis grid

Whether you live in Cannes, Mougins, Valbonne or Roquefort-les-Pins, you benefit from a clear and transparent view of your energy autonomy.

Who installs the MyLight virtual battery?

Installation is carried out by the qualified electricians of REGIS ELECTRIC.

Our teams operate daily in:

• Roquefort-les-Pins

• Cannes

• Mougins

• Valbonne

• Mouans-Sartoux

We guarantee an installation that is:

• clean and carefully executed,

• compliant with current electrical standards,

• perfectly integrated with your existing or new photovoltaic system.

No uncontrolled subcontracting: the entire project is managed locally.

Is a Consuel compliance certificate required?

Yes, it is mandatory.

To inject electricity into the public grid and benefit from a virtual battery, your photovoltaic installation must have a Consuel compliance certificate.

This certificate guarantees:

• installation safety,

• compliance with French standards,

• official authorization to inject electricity into the grid.

REGIS ELECTRIC supports you with all Consuel procedures, whether your project is located in Mouans-Sartoux, Cannes or Valbonne.

Do you need to change your electricity supplier?

Yes. To use a virtual battery, your electricity supplier becomes MyLight150.

This change is essential because MyLight150 manages:

• the accounting of injected kWh,

• the restitution of virtually stored energy.

The supplier change is simple, without power cuts, and fully integrated into the project.

The MyLight150 charging station: charging your electric vehicle while getting paid

MyLight150 also offers an intelligent electric vehicle charging station, fully compatible with the virtual battery and local photovoltaic installations.

Its operation is innovative:when you charge your electric vehicle during the weekend, MyLight150 may pay you for it.

The charging station automatically manages charging based on:

• periods of low grid stress,

• national electricity balancing needs.

At weekends, when overall demand is lower, your charging helps stabilise the grid. In return, a financial compensation may be paid to you.

When combined with a photovoltaic installation in Cannes, Mougins or Valbonne, this solution allows you to:

• significantly reduce charging costs,

• optimise solar self-consumption,

• and in some cases generate additional income.

REGIS ELECTRIC installs these charging stations in compliance with IRVE standards, in both single-phase and three-phase configurations.

Virtual battery or physical battery: which solution should you choose ?

The MyLight virtual battery is ideal if you want to:

• avoid a heavy upfront investment,

• benefit from unlimited storage,

• avoid battery maintenance or ageing issues.

However, it does not provide power during a grid outage.For full autonomy with backup power, a physical battery remains more suitable.

At REGIS ELECTRIC, we advise each client on a case-by-case basis, according to their home and location.

Conclusion

The MyLight150 virtual battery is a modern and high-performance solution to maximise the profitability of your photovoltaic installation in Roquefort-les-Pins, Cannes, Mougins, Valbonne or Mouans-Sartoux.

It allows you to:

• store your solar surplus without a physical battery,

• monitor your energy precisely,

• and combine the solution with a revenue-generating smart charging station.

For an optimised, compliant and durable solar project in the Alpes-Maritimes, REGIS ELECTRIC supports you from the initial study through to commissioning.
