PPC Kundentreffen 2026: Award for successful SMGWplus EEBUS SHIP pairing interoperability tests
The energy management systems from Solar Manager and TQ-Systems have been successfully validated for interoperability with the SMGWplus from PPC. Both partners support the new and secure EEBUS SHIP Pairing and have demonstrated successful interoperability through extensive testing. In recognition of this successful implementation, Solar Manager and TQ-Systems were presented with the PPC connect Award at the PPC Kundentreffen 2026.
BENDER charge controllers interoperable with PPC CLS solutions
We are pleased to announce that BENDER GmbH & Co. KG has successfully completed our CLS interoperability test. After previously achieving EEBUS qualification in the Living Lab, the smooth integration of BENDER charge controllers via the PPC CLS adapter control has now also been confirmed.
Recap of 2025
2025 – a year of partnerships and innovations! The rollout of smart metering systems is in full swing, and the control rollout, driven by Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG) and Section 9 of the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG), is gaining significant momentum. In this context, the interoperability of our solutions with those of our partners in the market is a prerequisite. 2025 is therefore all about partnership and cooperation: around 35 partners have joined our ‘PPC connect: Interoperability in practice’ initiative this year.
Flexible bandplans for the powerline rollout: the key to combining long range with high data volumes
A successful, fast and cost-efficient BPL expansion must be able to meet both challenges – bridging even greater distances in the connection as quickly as possible while still enabling data rates in the Mbit/s range for modern encryption. Nessum is the key here.

SMA and PPC are making hundreds of thousands of households ready for the smart grid – with just a software update
This is what practical interoperability looks like: The inverter expert SMA from Niestetal and the Mannheim-based smart meter gateway manufacturer PPC have jointly developed a groundbreaking solution that makes not only new photovoltaic systems but also existing systems throughout Germany controllable via a firmware update – and thus fit for the smart grid of the future.
