Benefits of Smart Geysers for Developers
Our platform intelligently manages energy across residential developments. From smart geysers that utilise excess solar energy for efficient water heating to smart plugs on connected devices, ensuring optimal energy use. By dynamically adjusting geyser heating schedules, monitoring usage, and prioritising available energy sources, Sensor.Energy delivers a seamless solution for sustainable and cost-effective energy management.
Lower Energy Costs
Geyser Connect intelligently heats water during the day, using excess solar energy when available. By aligning water heating with solar energy production, developers reduce strain on battery systems and optimise energy usage.
Reduce Grid Reliance
Geyser Connect links directly to development solar systems, minimising reliance on the electrical grid, particularly during peak morning and evening times, when time-of-use-tariffs are at their highest.
Sustainable and Efficient
Geyser Connect devices linked to development solar systems make properties more appealing to buyers and tenants alike, due to their cost-saving benefits and heating water through eco-friendly sources.
How our Smart Energy Solution Works
Geyser Connect automates water heating by heating geysers when sunlight is abundant and there is excess energy available. This maximises energy efficiency, protects batteries and inverters, and optimises the overall performance of a development solar system, all the while allowing battery storage to be maintained without compromising on comfort.
This approach maximises the use of solar energy while optimising battery storage for peak times when solar power is unavailable.
Measuring And Managing Efficiency
The platform provides a real-time dashboard, showcasing dynamic heating activity, energy usage and system performance. It offers complete visibility into which geysers are heating, which have reached their desired temperatures and how energy is being utilised, ensuring maximum efficiency and control.
Battery State of Charge
Get real-time information about the solar system battery state of charge (SoC). Once the system battery reaches a certain SOC, our technology dynamically heats geysers that haven’t reached their set temperature, monitoring the battery health along the way. This ensures efficient energy distribution while preserving battery life, and saving capacity for other critical uses.
Smart Solar Heating
Connected smart geysers heat using solar energy only when our platform allows, but within defined boundaries. This ensures hot water availability without compromising the health of a costly solar system at the expense of user comfort.
Distributed Water Heating
Our platform ensures all connected smart geysers on the system receive equal opportunity to reach their set temperature, provided there is enough excess solar energy and battery health is maintained. Get detailed reports of average water temperatures across the estate, ensuring precise energy management.
