Simplify Your Solar Management with SunShift
Effortless Setup, Smart Optimisation
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 optimize 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.
Real-World Example
SunShift Navigating Load Shedding
Imagine facing a scheduled load-shedding event from 6 am to 10 am. It’s a critical time for many households and businesses. SunShift evaluates the upcoming power outage. It looks at weather forecasts for solar power and your predicted energy usage. It uses this to find the best strategy for keeping the power on without relying too much on the grid.
Case 1: Sufficient Backup Power
In this scenario, SunShift predicts enough solar production for the day. It sees the battery backup is enough to bridge the early morning load shedding until the sun starts to generate power.
It trusts the solar and usage predictions. So, it decides against charging the batteries from the grid. It optimises for energy savings and reducing the carbon footprint.
Case 2: Insufficient Backup Power
SunShift sees a forecast of low solar production during the load-shedding period. It also sees that the batteries lack enough charge to last throughout the entire load-shedding period. So, it decides to charge the batteries from the grid during off-peak hours before the outage.
This move is strategic. It ensures the plant keeps power during the load shedding. It prioritizes energy and comfort.

"I ordered my SunShift device from Xemote and received it two days later via The Courier Guy. It was easy to remove my Deye inverter’s WiFi dongle and connect the SunShift cable. Adding my home setup to the Xemote app was easy with no glitches. Now, a week later and I can already see the app reporting my rand savings. I notice too that my batteries are no longer discharged below 50%. This is one of the main reasons I purchased SunShift to extend the lifetime of my batteries. I made a mistake with the type of batteries I have and their support staff contacted me the next day to verify this mismatch. This was quickly rectified. I am impressed by their service!"
"I have been struggling with my inverter settings since the day I installed solar in my home. Keeping up to date with the latest load shedding times and then having to go and change that system modes table myself everyday as a female that isn’t very tech savvy it became quite a shlep so much so that I had to ask my son to do it for me each day. I then came across Sunshift through a friend that had it installed.
It’s the best investment I could have ever done this year and I can rest knowing that my batteries are being looked after and I have already saved 45% on my electricity bill so far. I can’t recommend SunShift enough.
Good job to the entire team for this development it’s going to change South Africa!"

"I acquired Xemote's SunShift device, along with a few other sensors, a few weeks ago to control my Sunsynk inverter. The SunShift device has proven to be a game-changer in optimizing energy delivery and safeguarding the batteries to ensure long-term reliability.
What sets Xemote apart is their exceptional client service. From the moment I inquired about the SunShift device and the additional Xemote sensors (Temperature and Kinetic Control Device), their team demonstrated expertise, guidance, and provided clear instructions. Xemote delivered customer-centric service, and so far, SunShift lives up to the innovative automatic solar manager the company claims it to be.
I recommend it to anyone looking to enhance the efficiency and longevity of their solar setup."
"Received the Sunshift Device in record time! From placing the order, receiving exceptional presales support, swift delivery, the exciting unboxing experience, seamless installation, to activation – every step was a delightful pleasure! Kudos to the team for providing such an outstanding experience. Excitedly anticipating the incredible benefits Sunshift will bring!"
