Hi folks, Since electricity peak consumption is getting very important for our energy bills, I would like to collect some ideas about how to reduce such energy peaks. I'm new to this area, but it seems they talk about "home energy management systems (hems)": 'A home energy management system is a …

Craig, Are you invert driven or do you have capacity store? Just curious. I am just starting to discuss the various options with my family that work in the US/CA solar market, and I have access to the engineering team of one of the firms local to my area. Really is interesting the options on the…

Then again ours has a dial to set program and a separate push button to start. So that could be hacked with an e…
