Intelligent Solar Management
SmartFlow is SkyElectric’s patented intelligent energy management software that controls every aspect of your Smart Solar System. It takes historical and up-to-date current as well as predicted values of grid availability, tariff structures, solar irradiance levels, local load and energy storage levels to compute and run a Power Management Plan.
SmartFlow has two prime goals; provide the highest availability of energy from the cheapest sources and at the lowest cost. To perform this, extraction of multiple economic value streams from the local energy infrastructure takes place in order to ensure energy availability at lowest costs. Utilizing this cloud delivered knowledge; the system computes and updates optimal Power Management Plans. SmartFlow always chooses your cheapest energy resource, providing maximum savings possible from a solar and energy storage system.

SmartFlow Energy Orchestrator
SmartFlow operates as an ever-evolving Power Management Plan (PMP) for residential and commercial spaces, leveraging historical, present, and forecasted data on solar and grid availability, stored energy levels, and consumption patterns. Through intelligent analysis, it orchestrates optimal charge and discharge cycles of battery energy and strategically utilizes grid tariff structures, including net-metering policies and time-of-use tariffs. This dynamic approach ensures efficient energy utilization, maximizes cost savings, and minimizes reliance on external energy sources, empowering users with greater control and sustainability in their energy management strategies.

EnergyOptimizer
SmartFlow harnesses the power of situational awareness in the energy environment to unlock economic advantages, known as value streams. By analyzing various factors such as grid availability, tariff structures, solar irradiance levels, and local energy demand, SmartFlow computes an optimal Power Management Plan (PMP) tailored to specific energy conditions. This intelligent software autonomously activates the PMP, orchestrating a chain of actions aimed at minimizing energy costs while ensuring maximum energy availability. Ultimately, SmartFlow empowers users to significantly reduce their energy bills while optimizing energy usage in real-time.

Optimized Energy Utilization
This graph illustrates the daily load consumption patterns of a typical household alongside solar energy production. With minimal overlap between peak load consumption and peak solar energy production, there’s a risk of wasted solar energy, depicted in yellow shading. To address this inefficiency, SmartFlow intelligently manages energy utilization by extracting multiple value streams. By optimizing solar energy usage and reducing dependence on grid electricity, SmartFlow ensures maximum utilization of available solar energy while minimizing overall energy costs.

Intelligent Energy Management
SmartFlow operates as a proactive solution to prevent solar energy wastage by directing excess energy to the grid for net-metering, provided the grid is available. By meticulously tracking both energy units sold to and consumed from the main grid, SmartFlow ensures users maintain an accurate and up-to-date account of their solar energy utilization and net energy bill. This approach not only optimizes energy usage but also enhances transparency and control over energy management, empowering users to make informed decisions to further reduce costs and maximize efficiency.

SmartFlow Grid-Optimized Battery Management
In aggressive load shedding scenarios, where there’s a heightened risk of wasting excess solar energy, SmartFlow intervenes by efficiently managing the battery’s charge. When the grid is available, the system strategically discharges excess energy to the grid, ensuring minimal wastage. Conversely, during grid outages, SmartFlow prioritizes charging the battery with excess solar energy. This dynamic approach optimizes energy utilization, ensuring that surplus solar energy is effectively stored or distributed to the grid based on prevailing conditions. By seamlessly balancing energy flows, SmartFlow enhances overall system efficiency and minimizes wastage in diverse operating scenarios.

SolarPeak Grid Reduction
Harnessing excess solar energy during the day and storing it in the battery enables SmartFlow users to strategically reduce peak tariff grid consumption. By intelligently managing the charging and discharging cycles, the system optimizes energy utilization, ensuring that solar-charged battery energy is available during peak consumption hours in the early to late evening. This proactive approach allows users to maximize the consumption of locally produced solar energy, even when sunlight is not available, leading to greater energy independence and reduced reliance on grid electricity during high-cost periods.

PeakSmart Grid Savings Solution
SmartFlow intelligently adapts to varying solar energy production levels, ensuring efficient battery management to minimize electricity bills. During periods of low solar energy generation, the system strategically charges the battery from the low tariff grid, later discharging it during peak tariff hours to offset costs. By prioritizing consumption during peak rate periods when residential usage is highest, SmartFlow maximizes savings over time. This economic value stream remains viable even on cloudy days with minimal solar irradiance, as SmartFlow leverages grid Time-of-Use (TOU) energy arbitrage, demonstrating its versatility in optimizing energy usage and reducing expenses under diverse conditions.
