What does Load Shifting mean?

Load shifting is the practice of storing energy when it is cheaper or more available and using it later when grid energy is more expensive or constrained.

How does load shifting improve solar savings?

With time-of-use rates, exported midday solar may be worth less than evening electricity. A battery can shift solar energy into higher-value hours, essentially moving sunshine across the clock.

How it relates to Tigo

Tigo battery systems can support energy management strategies where stored solar is used later to improve savings or resilience.
