Tips From The Top

Many of our clients have invested in solar power in recent years. The biggest motivators are energy efficiency, autonomy, and better energy management. Tax incentives have been a nice bonus, too. Battery back-up systems are a key part of this transition to solar power, ensuring our clients’ homes can store the solar energy for use at other times, or in the case of power grid outages.

But battery back-ups go beyond just solar or emergency.

Most people think of battery back-ups in the case of emergencies, like a natural disaster or a power grid outage. And while this is true, their value is far greater. Many of our clients – and home automation companies like Savant – are recognizing just how important battery back-ups can be to a well-run automated home.

An excellent battery back-up system gives our clients immediate access to stable, secure power at any time. It ensures their home’s Wi-fi connection will continue no matter what – a vital element for our clients’ automated homes. 

Battery back-ups give our clients peace of mind that their home’s energy needs are provided for in the case of an emergency or power grid outage. They can trust that their home’s vital automated systems, like security and climate, will keep working continuously, no matter what. This is especially important to our clients when they’re traveling. It’s one thing to have power interruptions when they’re at home; it’s another thing entirely when they’re far from home. But with back-ups in place, our clients know their home’s energy needs will be supplied no matter what.

Beyond emergencies, solar power and battery back-ups give our clients energy independence and autonomy – important values for many. It lowers utility bills, and in the case of solar power, battery back-ups function better than generators, which require fuel. These systems give the home owner more oversight and control of their home’s energy consumption. In the big picture, our clients can access more information and make better decisions about where, what, and how their energy works for their homes.

Savant, our primary home automation platform, has recognized these priorities and needs among home owners. The global leader in home automation has focused in recent years on whole home energy efficiency and dependability. Savant Power System enables our clients to use a single app to monitor their home’s energy production and use patterns. They can control circuits and manage all power sources from their mobile device, anywhere in the world. Savant offers several key components for whole home and auto energy use: Savant Power Modules, Savant’s Hybrid Inverter, Savant Storage, and Savant’s Level 2 EV Charger. These components give our clients more freedom and peace of mind in their home’s energy use – on a regular day, in an emergency, and moving into the future.
