IntelliGrid
Smart Grid-Tied Energy
IntelliGrid offers a smart solution to managing grid-tied energy storage systems, maximising your usage and minimising your costs.
Features
Intelligent Battery Management
Gets the most out of your battery assets by actually using them, rather than having them stay fully charged waiting for a rainy day.
Automated Intelligent Control
Takes into account your usage patterns, expected solar production and expected load-shedding/reduction outages to reduce your monthly grid costs, whilst ensuring that you always have enough energy in your batteries for whatever Eskom is going to throw at you.
Cloud Based
No special hardware is needed, and there are no upfront costs to give IntelliGrid a try.
Reporting and analytics
Gives you the tools to peak under the hood and see what IntelliGrid is planning, as well as being able to see exactly how it is saving you money.
Smart Alerts
IntelliGrid can alert you in the event of extended power outages so that you can take action if needed.

How does IntelliGrid save me money?
In many grid-tied energy storage systems installed in South Africa, the most expensive component - the battery - is not fully utilised, instead being kept at a high level of charge to handle load-shedding or load-reduction outages. IntelliGrid maximises the potential of this asset by intelligently using more of your battery's stored energy, saving you in electricity costs that you would otherwise pay to Eskom or your municipality. At the same time, this is done intelligently to make sure that you always have enough battery capacity to handle expected outages. Our reporting and analytics give you the power to see for yourself how much money is being saved, in a way that you can match up to your inverter's own data and to your electricity bill.
Will I need to monitor or control the system in any way?
No, the system is fully automated. Once you activate IntelliGrid, you can simply get on with life. The machine-learning models in the system will learn your usage patterns, as well as adjusting to any changes in those patterns. Having a late-night pizza party where the oven is running full-steam when it usually doesn't? No sweat for IntelliGrid - it will see this and adapt to make sure there is enough energy to get you through any load-shedding that's coming up.
