Overview
Before Lumin, homeowners backing up their solar-powered home had to choose between isolating critical loads on a specific (and expensive) subpanel, or possibly face larger battery costs by choosing to back up their whole house. Lumin expands system capabilities by converting existing, ordinary electrical circuits to smart circuits. Our hardware / software platform enables responsive load management that can adjust automatically to battery storage status, grid status, personal preferences.
