Bring the Power of Savant Energy to Your Smart Home 

In the last few years, overextended U.S. power grids have become a growing concern across the nation. Los Angeles, CA, was recently spared from rolling blackouts in the summer of 2022 as record-high temperatures tested the state’s energy grid. 

While state agencies are updating antiquated systems and California passed a bill requiring the state to get 90% of its power from renewable sources by 2035, homeowners are taking control into their own hands. 

Innovative solutions, such as Savant Power, let homeowners control their energy usage, including its source. Today, an expertly designed energy management system can reduce costs, create a greener home, and help your power stay on should the power grid fail. 

Let’s explore what this system can do for your home in Los Angeles County.

Sustainable, Long-Term Energy Solutions

A customizable microgrid solution combines solar power, a power generator, and a battery energy storage system to provide clients with backup energy. Whether using it to keep the electricity on during power outages or rolling blackouts, reduce energy costs during peak time-of-use rates, or go off the grid to help save the planet, Savant Power’s microgrid offers the solution. 

This system fully integrates with Savant’s home automation system and enables complete control of incoming power, whether from solar, generator, battery storage, or the utility grid. Pulling up the Energy Management Dashboard on the Savant app tells you your current energy consumption, top energy users, how much energy is stored in your battery, and where your energy is coming from. 

The Benefits of Savant Energy

By taking control of your energy usage, you can decide where you derive your energy at any time. For example, on a bright sunny day, you can use your solar panels to run your home and recharge your storage batteries. With one touch of a button, you can disconnect from the utility grid to ensure reliable, clean power and avoid purchasing energy during peak price hours.

This system works with Savant scenes that enable one touch to set the lights, climate, and entertainment for different activities. With Savant Power, we can program a scene that prioritizes your energy usage during a power outage, directing your stored energy toward critical circuits, depending on the time of day. At dinner, that may mean the circuits in your kitchen. After dinner, you can switch some of the power over to your entertainment devices.

We can also schedule your system to maximize stored energy when an upcoming weather event is forecasted, such as a significant storm or a heat wave. The result is a home that runs smoothly without concern for brownouts, damaging surges, or weather-related outages.
