Eplucon B.V.

What Eplucon B.V. does

Eplucon B.V. is a Netherlands-based private limited company, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Nunspeet, that designs and distributes integrated energy concepts for residential and commercial buildings. The company's offering combines heat pumps, battery storage, PVT solar panels, ventilation/WTW units, EV chargers, room thermostats, and plastic piping installation products, all orchestrated through its proprietary E-Control smart energy management platform. E-Control automatically optimizes energy flows using weather forecasts, Epex hourly electricity tariffs, solar yield, and consumption patterns, with the stated capability to achieve near-zero or negative annual energy bills, including the proprietary 10 Ampere concept that mitigates grid capacity constraints.

Eplucon serves three primary customer segments: private individuals building or renovating homes, serial housing developers and housing corporations requiring standardized scalable solutions, and commercial/utilities customers (MKB and larger premises) needing high-comfort, future-proofed systems. The company does not sell direct to end customers; instead, it operates exclusively through an authorized dealer network of over 100 installers across the Netherlands, with recent geographic expansion into Germany (eplucon.de) and Belgium (eplucon.be).

Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of integrated energy systems to dealers, complemented by the E-Control software platform and recurring monitoring/control functionality. Pricing is quote-based rather than transparently listed. Eplucon is a family-owned business led by the Folmer family (Joost Folmer as General Director, Hanco Folmer as Commercial Director, Steven Folmer as Technical Director, Herwin van Veldhuizen as R&D Owner, and Koos Folmer as Strategic Advisor), with no disclosed external investors. Strategic technology partners include SolaX Power (battery/inverter), Wanas (ventilation), TIGO (solar optimizers), Maincor (piping), and KIWA (certifications), positioning Eplucon as an integration-led system house rather than a vertical manufacturer.

Core offering

Eplucon delivers integrated energy concepts for residential and commercial buildings in the Netherlands, combining heat pumps, battery storage, solar/PVT panels, ventilation (WTW) units, and EV chargers into a single modular system. All hardware is orchestrated by Eplucon's proprietary E-Control smart energy management platform, which automatically optimizes energy flows based on weather forecasts, Epex hourly electricity prices, solar yield, and consumption factors to minimize or negate annual energy bills.

Product overview

Eplucon B.V. offers a unified integrated energy concept for residential and commercial buildings, centered on the E-Control smart energy management platform. E-Control automatically coordinates all connected hardware components — heat pumps, battery storage (Accu), solar/PV panels (Zon), ventilation/WTW systems (Ventilatie), EV chargers (Autolader), and room thermostats (Ruimtethermostaten) — as well as installation products (Woning/Gebouw Installatieproducten). The architecture is modular and scalable, enabling customers to start with a limited installation and expand over time. The system continuously optimizes energy management based on real-time consumption, weather forecasts, and Epex (hourly electricity) tariffs to achieve near-zero annual energy costs.

Products and services

• E-Control Energy Management Platform Central smart energy management platform that automatically controls and optimizes the integrated energy concept based on weather forecasts, Epex hourly electricity prices, solar energy yield, and consumption factors. Provides real-time monitoring and control via app/dashboard, capable of achieving near-zero or negative annual energy bills. Sold as part of the integrated energy concept to private homeowners, housing corporations, developers, and commercial customers via the dealer network.
• Warmtepompen (Heat Pumps) Heat pumps for buildings ranging from small to large power capacities, available in ground source, air source, dual-source (combination of air and ground), and PVT configurations. Characterized by high energy efficiency, low operating costs, minimal maintenance, and environmentally friendly operation. Connectable to the E-Control platform. Sold through authorized dealers to residential and commercial customers in the Netherlands.
• Accu (Battery Storage Systems) Scalable, stackable battery storage systems providing intelligent energy balancing between supply and demand, with automatic charging and discharging coordinated by E-Control. Built around SolaX Power hybrid inverters and compatible with TIGO optimizers. Used for smart energy market management in residential and commercial buildings.
• Zon (Solar / PVT Panels) Photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) solar panels that generate both electricity and hot water. Inverters are designed to operate optimally within the full Eplucon energy concept, maximizing self-consumption of solar energy to minimize grid purchases or feed-in. Sold as part of the integrated concept for new builds and renovations.
• Ventilatie (Ventilation / WTW Units) Heat recovery ventilation (WTW) units with capacities from 200 to 1300 m3/hour, supplied in partnership with Wanas. Connectable to the E-Control platform for integrated climate management. Designed for residential and commercial buildings requiring high comfort, controllability, and energy performance.
• Autolader (EV Charger with Vehicle-to-Grid) Electric vehicle charging solutions that complete the energy concept by charging the car at optimal moments based on battery state, available solar generation, or low grid energy prices. Supports vehicle-to-grid (V2G) discharging, allowing the EV to function as a mobile battery within the E-Control system.
• Woning/Gebouw Installatieproducten (Building Installation Products) High-quality plastic piping systems including pipes, couplings, and tools used in drinking water installations (KIWA certified), central heating, floor heating, wall heating installations (KIWA, DVGW, and ÖVGW certified), as well as floor or ceiling cooling. Supplied as part of the Eplucon total installation concept.
