Reap the greatest benefit from your solar and battery system and maximise the return on your PV + storage investment with Geli!
During the day, solar power generation typically reduces a building’s peak load. When solar generation tapers in the shoulder hours, energy storage lets you use stored solar energy to further reduce peak loads.
Rising demand-based charges (measured in kilowatts) are causing the business case for solar-only projects, without a battery, to deteriorate. Pairing solar energy and behind-the-meter energy storage (aka a battery, such as a Tesla Powerwall or sonnenBatterie) can more than double customer savings and significantly boost project returns.
What Does Geli Do?
- Learns your electricity consumption patterns and delivers stored solar energy when power from the mains grid is most expensive.
- Enables you to monitor your home energy consumption from anywhere there’s an internet connection.
- In the future, you’ll be able to take control over connected devices, such as electric vehicle (EV) chargers.
- enables you to deliver grid services where/when these programs are made available – earn extra income!
- Supply your home with power during a blackout event.
Introducing The Geli Jar
All these benefits are provided via a small device: the Geli Jar. This is a small controller accompanying each solar and storage system installation under the ACT Next Generation Storage program.
The makers of the Jar are currently developing the necessary software to work with the emerging Internet of Energy (IoE). IoE is an intelligent network of distributed assets. With a Geli Jar already installed, you’ll be among the first to take advantage of the new energy revolution that is coming with battery energy storage.
