Once plugged in, you can connect ModuleOne™ to the MyGrid app. This app gives you full control over your energy usage, allowing you to monitor your consumption and optimize your savings. You can even charge ModuleOne™ with low-cost energy from your solar panels or the grid during off-peak hours, and use it when energy prices are high.

Play

Now that you’re connected, it’s time to leverage the power of ModuleOne™! With its integrated software, you can optimize your energy consumption by charging and discharging at the most cost-effective times. This not only earns you a profit, but also reduces your carbon footprint.

Your House, Your Rules

At MyGrid, we understand that every home has its unique infrastructure and energy regulations that vary from country to country.

Therefore, our primary focus is to provide the best energy management solution that meets your specific needs.

With ModuleOne™, you have the flexibility to tailor your energy usage according to your lifestyle and preferences. We believe that this approach is the key to achieving optimal energy efficiency and cost savings.

Bidirectional Micro Charger/Inverter

The ModuleOne is a unique IoT device that consists of two main parts, the battery unit and the charger/inverter, also known as the docking power unit. The docking power unit is designed to function as a bi-directional micro-inverter/charger, which enables it to both receive and transmit energy. The docking powerunit can charge and discharge bidirectionally with a maximum power output of 800W, although the max power can be programmed to be lower aswell (for example 600W).

One of the primary functions of the power unit is to store energy in the battery unit when the energy is available at a lower cost, typically during off-peak hours. The stored energy can then be used when the energy costs are high, such as during peak hours. The docking powerunit will discharge the stored energy through your existing power socket in your home grid, which helps you save on electricity bills.

Since the bidirectional power supply of the docking power unit is controlled by our cloud platform, it is the ideal IoT technology to power the homes of the future.
