About Lunar AI
Generated by ChatGPT Lunar AI is an artificial intelligence system designed to optimize home energy use and savings, created by Lunar Energy. Unlike standard energy storage systems, Lunar AI learns, adapts, and acts daily to help homeowners make the most of their home's energy. This mechanism increases savings, enables homeowners to generate more earning, and optimizes home energy use. One of the ways Lunar AI delivers on this is by filling a home's battery before evening rates rise, which ensures the home runs on solar for as long as possible. Furthermore, Lunar AI has a strategy to exploit cheap mid-day grid power to run a home on less sunny days. It also intelligently manages power exports to take advantage of high-export credit hours during the summer and adjusts to the changing daily export credits against Virtual Power Plant (VPP) opportunities. Lunar AI operates transparently, while the Lunar App keeps the users aware of real-time energy flows, savings, and predicts their energy story. Importantly, Lunar AI does all these while constantly adapting to real-time changes in weather conditions, EV charging, rate trends, and recurring events, with an aim to maximize from solar energy, reduce bills and continuously run homes on clean power with minimum user interventions.
