How does SunShift save money on electricity bills?
In Short: SunShift uses as much of your battery as possible while still making sure you have a reserve before load shedding starts. It also ensures you batteries do not charge from the grid unless absolutely necessary and even then it will limit it as much as possible to rather rely on solar.
SunShift helps you save money by maximizing the use of the solar energy your panels produce. Instead of buying expensive electricity from the grid, SunShift ensures that as much of your home’s power as possible comes from your solar panels and batteries.
This is possible to do without SunShift if you actively manage your inverters system modes table but you will need to adjust your settings as load shedding stages and weather changes. Furthermore, you may keep your batteries charged more than necessary to survive load shedding which translates to lost savings.
SunShift follows the same logic you would if you were updating your system manually but it is better at predicting your electricity usage and solar production based on weather which means more of your battery can be used without guessing if you have enough backup for load shedding. This reduces the amount of electricity you need to buy from the grid, lowering your bills.
