Sunrise: estate wakes up on grid power.

Schematic: intelligent energy management

One platform, every high-power load.

Ember controls, meters and automates the heavy loads on a property (geysers, HVAC, pumps and shared batteries) and keeps power fair through every outage. Designed and manufactured by Ember.

Every capability on one schedule.

One control and metering platform runs the whole property. Six capabilities, one live connection to hardware Ember designs and manufactures itself. Open a row for the full detail.

    • Switch geysers on and off remotely, with real-time monitoring
    • Peak load management
    • Load shifting for Time-of-Use (TOU) electricity tariffs
    • Reduced electricity costs and improved energy efficiency
    • Extended battery runtime for solar backup systems during grid outages
    • Granular consumption data for live monitoring, reporting and informed decisions

    Beyond remote control, every controller collects detailed energy analytics, an independent record of what each geyser actually uses.

    • HVAC systems
    • Backup water systems
    • Pumps
    • Any other high-demand electrical load

    One platform intelligently controls energy usage across an entire property. The technology extends well beyond geysers.

    • Remote connection and disconnection
    • Live energy monitoring
    • Water metering per unit, billed alongside electricity
    • Pressure monitoring on water supply and pump lines
    • Granular consumption data
    • Automated billing reports
    • Usage analytics
    • Remote management of electrical and water services

    • Continuous real-time monitoring of every unit’s consumption
    • As battery capacity falls, the highest consumers are identified and disconnected first
    • Lower-consuming households stay powered for longer
    • Fully automated: no phone calls, no arbitration, no favourites

    Picture a 100-home estate in a nighttime outage: Unit 34 is baking and doing laundry at 6.8 kW while Unit 72 cooks on gas with a few lights at 1.2 kW. Ember sheds Unit 34 first, so battery capacity is shared fairly instead of being drained by a handful of heavy users.

    • Security systems
    • Access control and gates
    • CCTV cameras
    • Electric fencing
    • Common-area lighting

    Most estates reserve a minimum battery capacity for essential common-property services, so critical infrastructure stays operational throughout the night, even when residential loads have been reduced or disconnected.

    • Complete end-to-end energy management systems, delivered with trusted solar partners
    • Expert solar design combined with intelligent power management
    • Maximised value from solar generation and battery storage
    • Proven on residential estates and commercial developments

    The combination of intelligent load control, smart metering and automated energy management maximises battery performance, improves fairness among residents, reduces operating costs and keeps essential services running through grid outages.

Fair power, automatically

Demonstration: synthetic estate data

22:00 The grid fails. The estate switches to its shared battery.

No solar until sunrise. One hundred homes, one battery.

Ember ranks every unit by live draw.

Unit 34 is baking and doing laundry at 6.8 kW. Unit 72 is on a gas stove with a few lights at 1.2 kW.

Above 40%, every home stays on.

Ember keeps watching the draw, but nobody is cut while there is battery to share.

03:18 From 40%, the heaviest consumers shed first.

Automatically, one by one. No phone calls, no arbitration, no favourites.

04:56 At 20%, only common property stays on.

Every unit is now shed. The gate, cameras, fencing and common lighting run on the reserved 20%.

06:10 The grid returns. Every unit restores automatically.

Installers run their whole fleet from the desk.

Spec Ember into your solar projects and every installation stays in reach after handover: live, controllable and maintainable without rolling a vehicle.

  • Deeper inverter control

    Tune root inverter settings remotely for optimal performance after commissioning.

  • Fewer site visits

    Smart remote management handles maintenance and control that used to need a bakkie and a ladder.

  • A secondary access point

    An independent path into remote assets, a second source of truth beside the manufacturer cloud.

  • Wider integration

    Generators, mixed inverter fleets and accessory hardware on the same control plane.
