What's the difference between a residential load controller and smart energy management?

With a residential load controller, the load controls your every move during peak hours, whereas a smart energy management platform responds to your goals and immediate needs. If you're thinking about installing a load controller, consider the benefits of a product like the Lumin smart circuit breaker as well.

What does a load controller do?

The devices can be used to switch appliances or electrical loads on or off. They can also be used to regulate the amount of power that an individual load can consume. Load controllers can also be operated by a utility or third-party energy provider to reduce your household's energy demand at peak times.

What is a residential load controller?

Residential load controllers level out the peak demand from homes and help regulate the spikes in usage - all of which benefits the power company. A solar load controller, more commonly called a solar charge controller, regulates battery voltage and provides load control for DC electrical loads. How Does a Residential Load Control Device Work?

What is the difference between energy management and load controller?

That means not using hot water, doing laundry or cooking in your oven during peak hours (which is often the busiest time of day when everyone's home and you need it most!). Energy management systems are responsive, whereas load controllers are not. Homeowners are forced to adapt to the load control caps with limited options for workarounds.

Is a home load controller better than a smart home energy management system?

However, while a residential load controller will help you save money on electricity, it can be a rigid and restrictive solution for many customers, especially those with irregular schedules or working from home. A smart home energy management system, on the other hand, is responsive to electrical loads as well as the homeowner's needs.

How does a whole home battery backup system work?

A whole home battery backup system works seamlessly with your solar photo-voltaic panels (PVs) or array to meet your household energy demand. Solar batteries store the clean energy produced by your PV panels, and then make it available for free during peak demand hours to lighten the load and cut your monthly electric bills.
