Carga

Carga — system today, platform tomorrow.

Solar with storage and time-shift, installed by Solar Hands today. Software that connects, orchestrates, and optimises the grid, in beta from 2027.

Available today

The system — installed by Solar Hands

Photovoltaic solar + storage with time-shift. It shifts your consumption from the most expensive hours to the cheapest, keeping comfort and lowering the bill.

How it works

Panels generate energy during the day. The battery stores the surplus and uses that energy in the hours when the grid is most expensive. Result: you pay for energy at the lowest price of the day, even when you consume at the highest.

Photovoltaic system + storage under the self-consumption regime, installed and maintained by Solar Hands.

Real case — Simon, Sintra

12.9 kWp system with 54 kWh of storage, rooftop-mounted. Bill reduced from around €2,300 to an average of €350/month.

Result of combining solar production, storage, and consumption optimisation. The gain from time-shift alone is typically up to 25% of the bill, depending on the consumption profile.

I want the Carga system

"Carga-ready". Every system installed today is a future node of the software platform, with no hardware changes.

Why now

The Portuguese energy market is opening to decentralisation

The ERSE 815/2023 (RAC) regulation made energy communities a reality — and demand for simple, transparent, and scalable management will grow with them. Carga was born to meet that demand.

Carga — Community Energy OS
Solar Hands installations
Built on the ground

Carga is not an abstract platform

It's built on real installations — the physical engine of Solar Hands. Every system we install is a potential node of a larger, smarter, community-driven grid.

Beta 2027 — built by Solar Hands, in Portugal.
