How it works

Forecast AI
The Forecaster turns weather and meter history into hourly use and solar estimates.
Plan AI
The Dispatcher drafts when the battery charges and when it sends power.
Check Code
The safety layer runs six fixed rules and trims anything unsafe.
Approve You
You see the before and after peak and approve the evening plan.
Run Code
The inverter follows the approved plan; the safety layer keeps watching frequency live.
