Smartswitch Dame Design Award Nomination 2025

SmartSwitch DC4 Nominated for DAME Design Award 2025


Energy Solutions is proud to announce that SmartSwitch DC4 has been nominated for the prestigious 2025 DAME Design Award at METSTRADE, the world’s largest marine equipment trade show.

Developed by Energy Solutions’ engineering team in collaboration with Victron Energy, SmartSwitch DC4 represents a major step forward in onboard DC power control. Designed for seamless integration with the Victron Cerbo GX, it replaces traditional switch panels and wiring with a compact, solid-state solution that delivers efficient, intelligent, screen-based control.

The DAME jury recognised SmartSwitch for its clear design innovation, user-focused simplicity, and sustainable approach. By reducing wiring complexity, material use, and component waste, SmartSwitch sets a new benchmark in both usability and environmental performance for marine systems.


Paul Holland, Managing Director of Energy Solutions, commented:

“To be nominated among the best in marine design globally is a great endorsement of our team’s focus on smart, practical innovation. SmartSwitch demonstrates how intelligent control can enhance every vessel, not just the most advanced builds.”

SmartSwitch DC4 will be featured in the DAME Showcase at METSTRADE 2025, RAI Amsterdam, from 18–20 November. Visitors can find the Energy Solutions team in the British Pavilion, Stand 03.317.
