Lumin's Off Grid Manager, previously known as Smart Power Mode, helps extend the runtime of a home's backup battery during a grid outage and prevents the energy storage system from being overloaded.
Off Grid Manager can be configured to shed individual circuits under the following circumstances:
- As soon as a grid outage is detected.
- As soon as the power demanded by circuits in the house exceeds a power limit (this prevents the battery's inverter from tripping).
- Once the state of charge of a home's battery decreases (only available with selected battery brands).
Compared to traditional battery backup without Lumin, these features make it possible to connect most, or even all, of the circuits in a home to the backed-up electrical panel, without the need for a battery and inverter large enough to run everything in the house simultaneously. The system owner can use the Lumin app to choose which circuits receive backup power and Lumin will ensure that the backup system is not overloaded.
