schneider electric announced the launch of a new modular and flexible solution that adds smart panel functionality to standard home electrical systems. The solution, which includes the new Square D Control Relay and Schneider Energy Monitor, provides homeowners nationwide with app-based control that is easier to install, lower cost than current smart panel options.
Deploying this solution provides homeowners with the benefits of smart panels, including circuit-level control to save energy and increase safety, as well as system-wide energy monitoring. Whether updating existing Square D QO plug-on neutral electrical panels or installing new panels, homeowners can better manage energy use and reduce utility bills by using smart Features can be added cheaply.
“We are increasingly facing new challenges in powering homes, including grid resilience issues and rising utility costs,” said Pap Ndaw, senior vice president of Schneider Electric’s North American Housing and Distribution Hub. I am doing,” he said. “We are excited to bring to market an easy-to-install solution that will enable homeowners across the country to address these issues. It is a cost-effective solution for app-based home energy usage monitoring and control, as users can control only the loads that need to be controlled by the app.”
These solutions are available at electrical outlets nationwide and can be installed quickly and easily by any qualified electrician. Square D control relays are designed to mount directly to Square D QO plug-on neutral breakers, while allowing Schneider energy monitors to be added directly to the panel. Commissioning of either device can be done quickly through the app, making it easier for the homeowner to monitor and control energy usage from his mobile device.
