How does Alfred work?
App registration
For registration in the application, you only need to know the serial number of your inverter. To fully utilize all features, it will be necessary to know if you use spot prices, your distribution tariff, and the fees you pay to your electricity supplier.
Smart management
It smartly manages your power plant. It works with production and consumption forecasts, knows the current spot prices, and uses the trading and distribution data you provide to control energy flows in your household to save as much as possible. All this is done in a way that does not restrict your consumption in any way.
Monitoring of health
Thanks to continuous monitoring of key indicators of your power plant, it can immediately identify and alert you to potential operational issues. This ensures you are informed about any malfunction in a timely manner. It also recommends a solution for any detected problems.
Data protection
The application operates with data stored on servers within the EU to ensure maximum protection. This data is not shared with anyone outside the Alfred platform.
