SmartstorWhat is SMARTSTOR™?
SMARTSTOR™ is Powervault’s unique AI-powered energy management software.
SMARTSTOR™ learns to predict how much energy you’ll need, and when. It understands your individual energy usage patterns and constantly scans the weather forecast, so it knows when and how much the sun will power your solar panels. It understands when cheap energy from the grid will be available on the latest time-of-use tariffs.
Using artificial intelligence, SMARTSTOR™ looks ahead and makes decisions for you, storing and buying energy efficiently. It doesn’t waste the energy you generate from solar and doesn’t buy expensive energy from the grid that you don’t need.
The result? Maximum savings without you having to lift a finger.
Maximised solar usage
By forecasting solar generation and aligning it with your energy consumption patterns, SMARTSTOR™ optimises self-consumption and reduces reliance on the grid for optimum energy efficiency.
Optimised grid charging
SMARTSTOR™ intelligent AI manages grid charging by analysing next-day weather forecasts, energy usage patterns and tariff rates, charging at cheap rates to reduce reliance on expensive imports.
Prescriptive analytics
With Powervault’s SMARTSTOR™ prescriptive analytics, you leave the decision-making to the experts and sit back and enjoy the benefits.
Dynamic scheduling
Powervault SMARTSTOR™ dynamically adjusts charging schedules, unlike many of our competitors who simply report on historical events.
Peace-of-mind
As SMARTSTOR™ does all the work for you, you don’t need to worry about scheduling your battery – it’s hassle-free, giving you complete peace-of-mind.
SMARTSTOR™TYPICAL SAVINGS
SMARTSTOR™ is a game-changer.
