The Torus Station, an advanced energy storage system, offers several modes to optimize energy usage and storage based on various conditions. Here are some of the modes available:
- Day Mode: This mode powers the home using solar or cheaper grid electricity during the day and stores energy in the battery for nighttime use when rates are higher.
- Night Mode: Utilizes stored energy from the day to power the home at night, reducing reliance on more expensive grid electricity.
- Storm Mode: Analyzes weather forecasts and fills the battery to 100% in anticipation of severe storms, ensuring backup power in case of grid outages.
- Backup Mode: Automatically switches to battery power during grid outages to maintain home electricity supply.
- Benjamin Mode: Maximizes savings by using solar power or low-cost grid electricity, optimizing energy bills.
- Earth Mode: Focuses on minimizing CO2 emissions by using renewable energy sources and grid power likely generated by renewables.
- Away Mode: Sells excess solar power back to the grid when the home is not occupied, optimizing energy export.
- Storage Mode: Allows the system to run off-grid using solar and battery power.
- Juice Mode: Rapidly charges the battery using all available energy sources.
- Solar EV Mode: Integrates with EV chargers to charge vehicles using solar power.
- Pre-Cooling Mode: Works with smart thermostats to pre-cool the home during off-peak hours or using excess solar power.
