Understanding energy is key to knowing where energy inefficiencies exist in your electrical system

Energy inefficiencies in homes often go unnoticed, driving up electricity bills and wasting power. Common culprits include phantom loads from idle appliances, outdated wiring, and a low power factor, which leads to wasted energy and strain on the grid. These inefficiencies not only cost homeowners money but also reduce the overall efficiency of their electrical systems, highlighting the need for smarter energy solutions.

Addressing Hidden Inefficiencies Before Going Solar

While switching to LED lights, solar geysers, and gas stoves are commendable steps toward energy efficiency, many homes still face hidden inefficiencies that compromise their overall power usage. In the quest to tackle rising electricity costs, homeowners often invest in solar systems without addressing these underlying issues, leading to oversized and costly setups. Inefficient energy flow, such as low power factor, remains overlooked, causing wastage even in homes equipped with renewable solutions. To truly optimize energy consumption and go off-grid effectively, it’s essential to eliminate these inefficiencies before scaling up solar installations. This ensures a smarter, more cost-effective transition to sustainable living.

Uncovering Energy Wastage in Motorised Appliances and Electronics

Appliances with motors, such as air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, and pool pumps, are often significant contributors to energy inefficiency. These appliances, along with electronics like televisions and computers, can consume more power than they actually require due to a poor power factor. Power factor measures how efficiently electrical energy is converted into usable power. When the power factor is low, a substantial amount of energy is wasted as reactive power, causing appliances to draw more electricity than necessary. This not only leads to higher energy bills but also reduces the lifespan of the appliances by creating excess strain on their components. Addressing power factor issues is a crucial step toward minimizing energy wastage and optimizing the performance of both motorized appliances and sensitive electronics.

Real Savings Achieved

Our Smart Electricity Saver produces impressive savings

Below are readings were taken before and after installing the Smart Electricity Saver. The energy saver has actively and dynamically reduced energy consumption resulting in positive financial savings of up to 42%

Before installing the Smart Energy Saver, the client’s monthly electricity bill stood at R 4,840. In just the first month of using the system, they saved R 590, followed by R 1,240 in the second month, and an impressive R 2,044 in the third month. The Smart Energy Saver is a cutting-edge solution that continuously analyses and optimises energy usage, identifying inefficiencies and maximizing savings over time.

Smart Electricity Saver

Everything that consumes reactive power from direct electricity like your fridge, deep freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer, vacuum cleaner, air conditioner, pool pump, lighting, computers etc., must be actively (dynamically) addressed to achieve maximum energy efficiency.

We introduce the most effective and innovative solutions for saving energy by COMPENSATION OF ELECTRIC WASTAGE USING DYNAMIC CONTROL.

Benefits of using Smart Energy Saver

How does the smart electricity saver work with other energy systems?
Is SES compatible with other energy sources?

Your electrical system draws power from various sources, such as Eskom, solar panels, wind turbines, inverters, or generators—all of which produce electricity for your home. On the other side, your appliances, lighting, and electronics rely on this electricity to function. However, inefficiencies within your electrical grid can lead to wasted energy and higher costs. The Smart Electricity Saver is designed to identify and rectify these inefficiencies, optimizing energy flow and ensuring that your system runs as efficiently as possible. Regardless of your power source, whether renewable or conventional, the Smart Electricity Saver reduces electricity consumption, lowers energy bills, and protects your appliances and equipment from unnecessary strain. It’s a comprehensive solution for maximising energy efficiency and enhancing the lifespan of your electrical devices.

Do I still need the Smart Electricity Saver if I have a Solar system?

Your solar system is a source of electricity which does not reduce or eliminate electrical inefficiencies. So the answer is yes, you still need to install the SES. 

An average household utilizing approximately 1,300 kWh per month would typically require an 8 kW solar system to transition off-grid. However, by installing the Smart Electricity Saver first, the home’s energy consumption can be reduced by up to 30%, lowering monthly usage to just 910 kWh. With this optimized efficiency, the required solar system size drops to 5.5 kW, resulting in significant cost savings.

This reduction in system size translates to a saving of approximately R80,000 on installation costs, while also ensuring more efficient energy usage and prolonged appliance lifespan. The Smart Electricity Saver is the key to maximizing energy efficiency before investing in solar solutions, making the transition to off-grid living smarter and more affordable.

Most South African households have installed 5 kW to 8 kW solar systems, aiming to reduce reliance on Eskom. However, during winter, solar production drops by 30% to 50%, forcing homeowners to depend on grid electricity to compensate for the shortfall. This seasonal reduction often leads to higher Eskom usage, undermining the goal of energy independence.

By installing the Smart Energy Saver (SES), up to 40% of electricity consumption can be reduced, significantly optimizing solar performance. This means that even in winter, a solar system can sustain household power needs more effectively, minimizing Eskom dependence and resulting in tangible electricity cost savings.

During summer, the SES provides another key advantage: it prevents excessive battery drain by reducing unnecessary power usage. This ensures that the solar system runs more efficiently, batteries last longer, and energy storage is used more strategically—ultimately extending battery lifespan and improving off-grid sustainability. With the SES in place, homeowners can maximize their solar investment and experience reliable energy savings throughout the year.

Who Needs the Smart Electricity Saver?

If your monthly electricity bill exceeds R2,000, your home is consuming significant power, making you an ideal candidate for the Smart Electricity Saver (SES).

High-Consumption Homes Benefit the Most

The SES is most effective in mid-to-large size homes with substantial electricity usage. Homes with multiple motorized appliances—such as air conditioners, pool pumps, refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, and automated gates—consume large amounts of electricity due to their continuous operation. The Smart Electricity Saver optimizes power usage, ensuring these appliances run more efficiently, reducing consumption by up to 40%

Smaller Homes Can Still Benefit

Even if your electricity bill is below R2,000, you can still save money with the SES! While smaller households may have fewer motorised appliances, the system stabilizes power flow, preventing unnecessary wastage and improving overall electrical efficiency.

With electricity costs rising each year, the Smart Electricity Saver is a valuable tool for any home looking to cut expenses and improve energy efficiency. Whether you’re managing a household with high consumption or simply want to optimize your electricity usage, SES helps you take control of your power costs.

PLEASE NOTE: The amount of savings you achieve will depend on how high your electricity bill is and how many motorised appliances you have.

Ready to purchase
