How does the real-time energy monitoring data help manage solar and battery resources?

Real-time energy monitoring data provides insights into solar production, battery storage levels, and household energy consumption where a consumption meter is present. This information helps optimise the use of solar energy, ensuring efficient battery charging and discharging, and maximising the benefits of solar resources. It also allows households to access demand management programs such as Flexible Exports or leverage retailer tariff structures such as Amber Electric wholesale prices.
