Schneider Electric’s Square D™ Energy Center helps move consumers one step closer to net-zero living. Bringing together a connected metre, thermostat, solar inverter and back-up power generator, the energy centre goes beyond smart living to create a fully sustainable home power management system. The central panel provides oversight for a range of distributed energy resources, including solar, utility and wind, in one single place and is designed to allow for future additions of new supply sources. Users can switch between types of power with an app and the artificial intelligence monitoring system identifies either a normal or a critical load requirement. On a regular day, appliances, heating and cooling systems and charging systems are all supported. Should something occur to limit the amount of available power, the system automatically switches to critical load mode and shuts down any device not deemed essential.
