The Benefits of Installing a Smart Panel
Total control over your home’s electrical consumption and backup power reserves.
During a power outage, a home battery system can drain quickly if heavy appliances like water heaters or EV chargers continue running. A smart panel automatically sheds non-essential circuits, directing power only to essentials like refrigerators, medical equipment, and lighting.
Smart panels also enable dynamic scheduling, allowing you to charge your electric vehicle or run appliances during off-peak hours when DTE Energy electricity rates are lowest.
