Bolstering Resilience in Rural Virginia
“Lumin extends the life of my battery by giving me control over what is powered on during an outage. That additional layer of protection and peace of mind made a huge impact on my decision to invest in a battery backup system that will last years.“
Homeowner, Stephen K.
Charlottesville, VA | Lumin paired with Simpliphi Battery
Load Shedding to Prioritize EV Chargers
“I was concerned about the batteries and began to wonder, and frankly worry, what happens at 2am when the power goes out and my EVs are charging? Would they drain my Powerwalls? How would I deal with that?“
Homeowner, David
Buffalo, NY | Lumin paired with Tesla Powerwall
Deploying Power in California Microgrid
"In addition to load shedding in off-grid mode, Lumin allows me to load swap different areas of the house depending on occupancy. Lumin enabled my microgrid to operate the way I had envisioned it could and it was great fun to put the system together and see it working."

Installer Feedback

“I’d heard from Lumin a few times and didn’t bite, but the penny dropped when I watched their off-
grid video. Today Lumin is standard for all solar + Tesla battery installs and integral to designs for
homeowners aiming for a fully off-grid system.”
— Firefly Solar
“Every client I’ve spoken to has said “it’s a no brainer”, so as we get these deals closed I believe we’ll be placing quite a few orders.”
— ESA Solar
“Installing the Lumin Energy Management Platform vs. a sub-panel cut the installation time by about 33%.”
— Southern Energy Management
”[Lumin] makes it possible to essentially have “whole house” backup power without needing the
amount of battery storage that would actually be required to power the entire house at once.”
— Revision Energy
