Smart Inverters and Digital Solar Management: The Next Frontier
The era of smart solar is upon us now. With newer solar energy systems shipped with advanced AI features, solar inverters coming with AI-integrated smart features, it looks to be the next logical step in the evolution of solar, from a secondary energy source to becoming an integral part of people's lives, especially in Pakistan. And leading this charge of smart solar and digital solar management are companies like RS Energy, introducing new technologies and ensuring that the solar revolution continues, helping consumers realise their energy goals without adversely affecting the environment.
So, in this blog post, we will take a look at the next frontier for solar energy, which is digital solar energy management and smart inverters, and how these two are connected.
Understanding digital solar management
It’s important for us to understand that digital solar management is a relatively new term, only applicable now that AI has begun regulating most aspects of solar energy and solar energy generation. Before that, the management for energy was not necessarily done by AI, but rather barebones software in the solar inverter, that rudimentarily controlled how much energy was fed into the premises, how much energy was fed into the grid, and so on.
We call it rudimentary because it wasn’t as sophisticated and as smart as modern AI-enabled management goes. The modern digital solar management utilises AI and is constantly being updated, constantly being fed new data based on which it makes decisions; from grid-feed to battery charging, digital solar management guided by AI is much more efficient, much more practical, and makes for a much more accurate experience.
Where do smart inverters come in this?
Smart inverters are the backbone of any solar energy system. Inverters obviously have an important job to do in the hierarchy of a solar energy system, but with the addition of AI and advanced digital solar management systems, inverters are now the CPUs of the solar energy systems, and provide other important services beyond just inverting the flow of the current.
As the powerhouse of the solar operations, smart inverters come with advanced AI features that manage the solar energy flow; from the panels, to the batteries, or to the premises or the grid. All of it is done by this AI, which takes into account a number of factors to ensure that whatever decision is made remains the most efficient one. All in all, smart inverters are the central piece of solar energy equipment that play a central role in digital solar management.
Why is digital solar management important?
Solar energy has transformed rapidly. Initially, it was a great way to reduce your energy bills, and maybe save some energy on the side for the rainy days. Now, it’s high-output, high-efficiency smart solar energy systems that work with the grid to energise the house, provide savings and when not in use, store the energy for later use provided that sufficient battery storage is provided.
Now, this is important; the ability to determine when it might be financially feasible to not feed the excess energy into the grid, but to save it for later use. It depends on the rates being offered at any given time, and the AI responsible for the energy management decides on whether to feed it to the grid, save it for later, or to consume it now.
If the rates are not favourable to be fed into the grid, it will save it for storage. However, if net-metering rates are favourable, the AI will automatically route the energy from the panels to the grid, thereby maximising the savings potential that consumers can get with their solar energy system.
