Case Studies

Before Bob discovered Powersensor, he was using an optical monitor for his solar system. Unfortunately, he was unaware optical monitors don't work for homes with solar. Read on to learn how Powersensor helped Bob gain visibility of his inverter, household and appliance energy data - helping him maximise his solar self-consumption and reducing his feed-in (export).

Bob and his wife invested in an electric car (Tesla) and wanted to lower their energy bills by maximising solar self-consumption. Read on to learn about how Powersensor helped Bob charge his Tesla at home with no cost.

Chris and his partner were conscious of the growing energy costs in Victoria. Even after installing a 5.2kW solar system, the energy price increases were reflected in their bills. They had a focus on understanding their highest energy-consuming appliances and wanted to investigate which appliance was tripping their home's circuit breaker as well as gain more visibility into their solar consumption.

Rising global temperatures are causing widespread and unpredictable weather patterns. Studies indicate that extreme weather events such as heat waves,storms and cyclones are likely to become more frequent or more intense with continued climate change.

Energy grids must respond to these challenges using renewable energy that increase resilience in the face of climate challenges.

A recent UQ study aims to increase the resilience and reliability of power supply to cyclone-vulnerable towns in regional Australia.

Chris purchased a home with solar in the Gold Coast and experienced a severe case of bill shock. With the help of Powersensor, he was able to make massive savings.

Michael, a Coffs Harbour resident, identified the cause of his high energy bill and saved by monitoring his solar production and energy consumption with Powersensor.
