Residential Market (for Large Loads)
Inergy Systems provides advanced energy management solutions that help homeowners optimize the use of large electrical loads such as HVAC systems, electric vehicle (EV) chargers, and backup power systems. By leveraging our load management solutions, homeowners can reduce energy costs, maximize the use of renewable energy, and maintain control over their energy usage automatically, all in real time.
HVAC and Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Management
Homes with large electrical loads, like central heating and cooling systems (HVAC) and electric vehicle chargers, face unique energy management challenges. These systems can place a heavy demand on the grid, leading to high demand charges or increased costs during peak times.
Key Benefits:
- Time-of-Use Optimization: The SP3000 can be programmed to adjust the operation of HVAC systems and EV chargers based on time-of-use (TOU) pricing. This allows homeowners to avoid higher electricity costs during peak hours and schedule charging or cooling when rates are lower.
- Demand Reduction: By orchestrating when and how these systems consume energy, the SP3000 helps reduce demand charges and prevents grid overloads, which is especially important in areas with demand-based pricing models.
- Real-Time Control: Homeowners can monitor and control these large loads in real time through our intuitive software solutions, allowing them to adjust settings on the fly for maximum savings and efficiency.
Backup Power System Management
For homes with backup generators or battery storage, reliable energy management during outages is critical. The SP3000 enables seamless transitions between grid power, backup generators, and battery storage systems, ensuring uninterrupted energy supply.
Key Benefits:
- Smooth Transitions: The SP3000 automatically manages the transition from grid power to backup generators or battery storage during outages, ensuring that key systems like HVAC and EV chargers continue operating without interruption.
- Optimized Use of Backup Power: Homeowners can prioritize essential systems, ensuring that limited backup power is used efficiently and extends over longer outages. This is particularly important in regions prone to frequent blackouts or weather-related outages.
- Battery Storage Management: For homes with solar panels and battery storage, the SP3000 intelligently shifts between stored energy and grid power to ensure the most cost-effective energy usage.
Integration with Renewable Energy
In homes equipped with solar panels, the SP3000 enables homeowners to optimize the use of renewable energy to power large loads like water heaters, pool pumps, and EV chargers.
Key Benefits:
- Maximizing Solar Power: The SP3000 coordinates the use of large loads to coincide with peak solar production, reducing the need to draw power from the grid. This ensures homeowners maximize the return on their solar investments.
- Reduced Grid Dependency: By intelligently managing the timing and distribution of energy usage, the SP3000 helps homeowners reduce their reliance on the grid and decrease overall energy costs.
- Energy Independence: For homes with solar and battery systems, the SP3000 enables true energy independence, allowing homeowners to store excess energy during the day and use it to power large systems during the evening or in case of outages.
Other Use Cases for Residential Energy Management
- Smart Water Heating: The SP3000 can manage electric water heaters, scheduling heating cycles during off-peak hours to minimize costs while ensuring hot water availability.
- Pool Pump Management: Pool pumps are another large load in many homes. The SP3000 optimizes the operation of pool pumps, ensuring they run during times of low electricity rates or when solar production is highest.
