Load controllers connect to selected devices in your home to optimize the energy consumption in your home. They enable customers to monitor and control their home appliances and take advantage of energy. In addition, customers can also prioritize essential loads during power outages and manage their own preferences from an application.
A residential load control can be used to provide insights into energy consumption habits and empower users to reduce their energy bills.
The lucky part
Some load controllers are very easy to install and allow maximum scalability. You can install your controller inside your standard electrical panel and enjoy its benefits. A load controller controls heavy and small loads as well as permanently connected electrical appliances and circuits that are low voltage. You can control how best to use your solar energy and how to protect yourself if the grid goes down. You will also lower your energy bills when you use the right load controller.
How it works
If you have a solar system installed on your roof but you are not home during the day to enjoy solar production, you may prefer to use your self-produced electricity instead of sending the energy to the grid. You should therefore use a load controller to manage your essential loads and maximize your solar energy. You may choose to add a load controller for your dishwasher, heat pump, fridge and washing machine.
You may prioritize the order in which your devices will operate in case of an outage and if the grid malfunctions for one hour or more. Your home will continue to operate smoothly.
For the day-to-day operations of your system, you will turn on the heat pump before you come home and power it with solar energy whilst the sun is shining. Load controllers are integrated with the electric charger so that the system knows that charging your car is programmed to take place during the night when the energy costs are lower.
