FROM DAYTIME SOLAR TO EVENING USE

One system, managing energy throughout the day

SMILE5 coordinates solar generation, battery storage, household demand and the grid so more of your own energy can be used when your home needs it most.

DAYTIME SOLAR

Store more excess solar energy

Solar powers your home first. When generation exceeds current demand, available surplus energy can be stored in the battery for later use.

WHY IT MATTERS

Increase solar self-consumption and reduce the amount of surplus solar sent straight back to the grid.

EVENING USE

Keep using your own energy after sunset

When solar generation falls and household demand rises, SMILE5 can discharge stored energy to reduce the amount drawn from the grid.

WHY IT MATTERS

Shift more daytime solar into the evening, when your household is more likely to need it.

GRID OUTAGE

Support selected essential household loads

During a grid outage, the UPS function can supply pre-selected essential circuits based on available battery charge and system design.

WHY IT MATTERS

Help keep selected essential appliances operating during an outage, subject to available battery charge and the installed backup configuration.

SMART MANAGEMENT

Coordinate home energy automatically

The SMILE5 hybrid inverter coordinates solar generation, battery charging and discharging, household demand and the grid connection.

WHY IT MATTERS

Reduce day-to-day manual control and support compatible smart tariffs or VPP programs where eligible.

DESIGNED FOR TODAY’S AUSTRALIAN MARKET

Choose capacity around your home—not just the rebate

Available incentives may help reduce upfront cost, but long-term value still depends on how well the system matches your household energy profile and installation requirements.

01

Understand your usage

Review how much electricity your home uses and when consumption is highest.

Use 12 months of bills where possible
02

Match your solar

Consider how much surplus energy your rooftop solar can realistically produce to charge the battery.

Compare generation with daytime demand
03

Plan for your priorities

Balance bill savings, outage backup, future EV charging, electrification and budget with a suitably qualified installer.

Final sizing requires a site assessment
