Thanks to Emporia’s excellent tools, I have outlets and usb chargers in my house that only work when I’m generating excess solar. I don’t need my power banks every day so they get plugged into those outlets.
Oh, and my car. My car only charges as fast as my solar generation permits. I love Emporia.
Naw, I have a super efficient heat pump and my water heater has been on for about ten minutes today. When high demand stuff kicks in my system kills off discretionary loads until I’m not exceeding my production. And this is in Canada…
