ELM FIELDSIGHT APP
Green Knowledge is Power
The old saying “knowledge is power” couldn’t be truer when it comes to going green. The ELM FieldSight app not only provides information about how your system is performing, but also gives you insight into how much energy you are using and where it is coming from. Our goal is to give you the power to actively and positively impact your carbon footprint.
Performance and Health Data
Our Native iOS and Android App gives you the full insight of your microgrid system in the palm of your hand. Not only does it provide you the status of your ELM energy storage system, but also the health status of your utility grid, solar array and/or generator.
Live Alerts
The ELM MicroGrid system automatically sends out alerts of any issues to you, the ELM support team and your certified ELM dealer to insure optimal response to your energy needs.
OFF GRID CAPABILITY
Black Start
ELM MicroGrid Systems are able to act as the grid with full start up capability.
Solar Integration
Combines perfectly with existing or new solar to harness excess during the day and keep the lights on at night.
Generator Integration
ELM MicroGrid Systems are well known for our industry leading capabilities when it comes to generator integration and we have included that capability with the CMG Series.
ON GRID BENEFITS
Time of Use Shifting
Battery discharge scheduled to maximize utility energy credits for your region.*
Peak Demand Shaving
The ELM MicroGrid will pull from battery during your high usage hours, lowering your peak demand, and then of course your costly utility.
Seamless Power Outage Backup
In addition to peak shaving and TOU Shifting, the ELM MicroGrid will also power your home when the grid has gone down without any additional equipment.
Demand Response
Integrates with Utility Demand Response Programs to maximize Energy Credits.*
Now or in the future...
MICROGRID EXT
Up to 100kWh Expansion
Our base CMG systems provide enough energy storage to power the average American home for 24 hours*, which, when paired with the right size solar system means the ELM system can allow you to run indefinitely off the grid if the need arises.
But if your home is above average, we have you covered with battery expansion packages of 35 kWh each that can be paired with the base system to provide up to 100kWh of energy storage capability.
If you need to go even bigger than that, ELM can parallel multiple Home Series systems together, giving you enough power for 6 average American homes.
