Smart Home Integration with Solar Systems

Integrations that matter

  • Monitoring: inverter portals + local gateways (Modbus/TCP, RS-485) feeding a home energy dashboard.
  • Load control: smart relays on high-demand appliances (pumps, heaters) triggered when PV surplus is high.
  • Time-of-use logic: charge batteries during PV peak, discharge in evening, maintain backup reserve.

Design tips

  • Prioritise critical loads on a dedicated backup sub-board.
  • Select hybrid inverter-compatible batteries; ensure firmware alignment.
  • Use surge protection (SPD) and proper earthing on both AC and DC sides.

We integrate robust hardware with simple user interfaces so households see real savings and uptime. Talk to us about a tailored setup for your home or estate.
