Smart Controllers
AI powered smart controller optimizes solar and battery systems
Our mission is to empower residential and business owners with innovative sustainable energy solutions that are cost-effective, safe and high-performing
Overview
A home solar and battery system that captures and redistributes energy is a great step toward energy self-sufficiency, but it lacks the optimised efficiency that a smart controller brings.
Our AI powered smart controller optimizes solar and battery systems by intelligently managing energy consumption and storage. It ensures that you use the solar energy generated during the day effectively, prioritizing its use for your home and charging the battery when excess energy is available. This helps to minimize reliance on the grid, maximises savings on your energy bills and reduces your carbon footprint.
Dynamic decision making
A basic solar and battery system operates on predetermined rules, like charging the battery during the day and discharging it at night. An AI powered smart controller, however, continuously analyses multiple factors informed by constant Highflow data input – weather forecasts, energy prices, grid demand, household consumption patterns – to make intelligent, real-time decisions about when to charge, discharge or export energy.
Maximising energy capture
Without a smart controller, excess solar energy might not be utilised efficiently. A smart controller ensures that energy capture aligns with peak solar production, avoiding waste by prioritising battery charging, appliance usage or exporting energy to the grid when it’s most profitable.
Energy trading opportunities
A smart controller enables energy trading by selling excess energy to the grid when prices are highest and minimising grid imports during peak pricing. This feature helps homeowners achieve greater savings, which a standard system can’t do.
Optimised battery usage
A basic system might fully charge and discharge the battery daily, which can lead to faster degradation. A smart controller extends battery life by optimising the depth of discharge and ensuring efficient energy cycles based on predicted energy needs.
Enhanced grid interaction
Smart controllers integrate with the grid to support broader energy efficiency goals, such as demand-response programs. They can strategically export energy during grid shortages or store energy when grid demand is low, contributing to grid stability and earning credits.
Performance in variable conditions
Weather changes, seasonal variations and unexpected energy demands can reduce the efficiency of a basic system. A smart controller uses AI that is informed by constant Highflow data input to anticipate these fluctuations, ensuring the system adapts dynamically to maintain optimal performance.
Remote monitoring and control
Smart controllers provide insights and control via user-friendly apps, allowing homeowners to monitor and adjust their system remotely. This level of oversight ensures the system is always performing at its peak, even without manual intervention.
Sustainability and cost savings
By reducing energy waste and strategically balancing energy use, smart controllers significantly lower energy costs and minimise reliance on non-renewable grid power, making the system more sustainable and cost-effective in the long run.
Put simply, a smart controller transforms a standard solar and battery setup into an intelligent, highly efficient system that maximises savings, extends battery life and actively contributes to both household and grid sustainability.
Key benefits
The Highflow AI Powered Smart Controller revolutionises home solar and battery systems by optimising energy efficiency and reducing reliance on the grid. Unlike standard setups, it intelligently manages energy consumption and storage, using dynamic, real-time data to make decisions based on weather forecasts, energy prices, grid demand and household patterns. This ensures peak energy capture, maximised savings and reduced carbon footprints. The smart controller extends battery life, enables profitable energy trading and enhances grid interaction for broader sustainability goals. With features like remote monitoring and adaptive performance in variable conditions, the Highflow AI Powered Smart Controller transforms solar and battery systems into intelligent, cost-effective and environmentally friendly energy hubs.
