How SunShift Works: Step-by-Step
Effortless Integration and Instant Optimisation
Step 1: Plug and Play
Remove SunShift from the packaging and plug it into your inverter’s communication port.
Step 2: Mobile App Setup
Download the Xemote app, register, add your plant by naming it and selecting your loadshedding area, and scan the QR code on the SunShift device to link it.
Step 3: System Details
Provide information on the Mobile App about your solar system, including number of panels, battery quantity and type, and inverter details.
Step 4: Data Monitoring
SunShift tracks energy parameters (PV, Battery, Load, Grid, Aux), weather conditions, and load shedding schedules.
Step 5: Smart Optimisation
SunShift uses data to optimise battery usage, ensuring minimal grid power use while protecting battery health.
Step 6: User Interaction
The system is fully automated, but users can monitor and set their minimum battery SOC for SunShift to manage around.
Step 7: Immediate Results
Initial optimisation starts on day one, with a week to learn usage patterns. Savings and insights are available via the app and email reports.
