We have field-tested this unit for over a year now across multiple sites, and we are very pleased with its success and reliability. Assembled and installed correctly the LoadShedder compliments any and all inverter systems.

It will automatically shut down pool pumps, geysers, dishwashers, and any home automation devices that you deem non-critical in order to preserve battery power.

No additional re-wiring of the DB board is required. All appliances that need to be controlled require smart devices like Sonoff Basic or any other Sonoff products.

We fully designed the integration into other smart home platforms like Smart Life, Samsung Smart Things, and Top 20 brands to be cross-platform.

This product is designed for certified installers, electricians, and solar installers.
