We call this program Baker IQ.
If you have a house planetary system you have the substantial advantage of being an energy manufacturer. If you have a home energy storage system, more than likely in the type of a home battery or even several home batteries, then you also have a big advantage in having the ability to handle and optimize your energy usage to keep energy costs down. With time-of-use billing and net metering, the excess energy your rooftop photovoltaic panels and your home solar system produce are sold back to the energy. When the sun sets, you 'purchase back' that energy. If you include the ability to save the green energy that your photovoltaic panels produce with a home battery, then you have another option of what to do with your extra electrical power (and remember, it's eco-friendly energy).
