Operating Guide

💡Flow Power vs Amber Electric & LocalVolts guides

This Operating Guide is specifically for Flow Power customers. If you are an Amber Electric or LocalVolts customer, please refer to the appropriate Operating Guide.

The following outlines how to configure Energy Manager to do exactly what you want. It is very customisable but the defaults should suit most use cases - however you should confirm the defaults do suit your situation. What is optimal for you may not be optimal for someone else due to a number of aspects, including solar array size, inverter rating, battery size, and your mindset on how aggressive you would like to trade. You should closely watch how your system behaves when you first enable the Energy Manager to make sure that it is working appropriately for you.
