Protect yourself from rising energy costs by using more
of the solar energy your system produces!

Why Self Consumption matters
Your solar will offset your general household usage first, such as your dishwasher, fridge and general 'stand by' appliances. Larger loads like kettles, dryers, and air conditioning units, are a little more complicated. Even though you may be generating solar, the full load may not fit completely under the solar curve and may use some mains power to support the load.
Once your household needs are met any surplus solar will be sent to the grid for a 'Feed in Tariff'. The average household without batteries or load management devices will generally only consume 30-40% of the solar their systems produce, exporting the remaining energy for a low feed in tariff!
The aim is to 'shift' loads to fit under the solar curve in the most efficient way, to use more of the solar that is being produced. The difference between running a load inside the solar curve and exporting to the grid can be as much as $0.20 in savings if not more, depending on your energy plan.
​
A great example of 'Load Shifting' is Electric Hot Water. This load is generally heated as a 'Control Load' this occurs between 11pm-3am and is generally on a cheaper rate p/kWh. With the CATCH Power technology, you can shift this load and many others to be controlled from surplus solar. Saving your home hundreds of dollars every year.

Turning loads on and off with the rise and fall of solar production is the primary tool used to maximise self consumption. Now the same device that is controlling your inverter can be controlling the site loads, no need for any other device.
Any household base loads that you can
offset with load management devices will
increase your self consumption and
increase your overall savings. For loads
that are controlled with this method it is
equivalent to a $0.30 feed in tariff.
Our Green customers save on average over $300 per year on hot water heating costs.
"Thanks to Catch Power last quarter our hot water heating costs were under $1! As a family of four this is a significant saving as we usually pay upwards of $100 a quarter" *****
