REDUXI CONTROLLER
User Manual
Version V2.0 11.2024
1. INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the world of Reduxi which allows you to take control of energy costs and efficient use of electricity for sustainable development. Main features:
- PEAK POWER MANAGEMENT,
- SOLAR POWER PLANT PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT,
- OPTIMISATION OF ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION.
Energy costs in your household or industry can only be reduced by accurate measurement. For doing so, you need the right technology. Based on advanced algorithms, the innovative system Reduxi measures and analyses electricity consumption for you. With its advanced features, Reduxi reduces consumption costs and increases energy efficiency.
Reduxi controller
Reduxi Controller is the main component of Reduxi system. The controller connects solar power plants, energy storage systems, heat pumps, and electric chargers to the Reduxi System. It manages electricity production and consumption, adjusts power usage from the grid, and uses advanced algorithms to ensure cost-effective energy use and maximum self-sufficiency.
Reduxi Controller is the key and mandatory component of every Reduxi system.
Every Reduxi Controller comes with built-in Configurator software, you will recognize it background and a simple-to-use interface.
