  • Can the MultiPlus-II help when my home’s power demand exceeds grid supply?

    I’ve noticed that sometimes when I use several high-power appliances at once in my home, my main grid connection doesn’t seem to be enough. I’m curious about how the MultiPlus-II might help in these situations. Does it have a feature to support the grid when my household’s power demand is high?

    The PowerAssist feature in the MultiPlus-II is designed to tackle precisely this issue. When your home’s power demand exceeds the capacity of your grid connection, the PowerAssist function allows the MultiPlus-II to supplement the grid.

    It does this by providing additional power from the batteries.

    This means that if you’re using heavy appliances that the grid can’t support, the MultiPlus-II will automatically provide the extra needed power, preventing any brownouts or overloads. It’s an intelligent way to balance your power needs without overburdening your grid connection.

    PowerAssist works by monitoring your home’s power consumption and comparing it with the grid’s capacity.

    When it detects that the demand is higher than what the grid can supply, the MultiPlus-II compensates for the shortfall by supplying additional power from the batteries.

    This process involves real-time analysis of power demand and instantaneous response to supply additional power.

    The system can adjust the level of assistance dynamically, ensuring that your appliances receive stable power without overloading the grid connection.
