Los Angeles homeowners with solar, battery storage, and EV chargers are sitting on an energy management opportunity that most smart home systems don’t yet fully exploit. GWI designs and integrates energy management systems that connect solar production, Tesla Powerwall or Enphase battery storage, EV charging schedules, HVAC runtimes, and smart load control into a unified optimization layer — reducing utility costs while maintaining comfort.
Solar & Battery Integration
GWI integrates with Enphase Ensemble, Tesla Powerwall, and SolarEdge Home Hub systems. Your control system can display live solar production, battery state of charge, and grid import/export in real time.
Smart Load Management
High-consumption loads — pool pumps, EV chargers, HVAC, electric water heaters — are scheduled to run during peak solar production or off-peak rate windows. GWI programs these schedules into Control4 or Savant.
EV Charging Optimization
GWI integrates ChargePoint, Tesla Wall Connector, and Emporia EV chargers with your home automation system. Charging schedules shift dynamically based on time-of-use rates and solar surplus.
Time-of-Use Rate Management
Southern California Edison and LADWP time-of-use rates penalize peak consumption (4–9 PM). GWI programs your smart home to minimize grid consumption during peak windows automatically.
Energy Monitoring & Reporting
GWI deploys Emporia Vue or Sense home energy monitors that provide circuit-level consumption data. Integrated with your control system dashboard, you can see real-time energy use by circuit, daily cost estimates, and anomaly alerts. One GWI client in Brentwood reduced their monthly electricity cost by 34% in the first year after installing whole-home energy monitoring and automated load management — with no change in lifestyle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can my Control4 system manage my solar and batteries?
Yes, with proper integration. GWI integrates Enphase and Tesla Powerwall data into Control4 dashboards and can program load management responses based on battery state and solar production.
What energy monitoring systems does GWI install?
GWI installs Emporia Vue, Sense, and Enphase Enlighten monitoring systems. Circuit-level monitoring is available with Emporia Vue, providing consumption data for every major circuit in the home.
How much can smart energy management save?
Savings vary by household, but clients with solar, battery, and EV typically see 20–40% reduction in net utility costs through automated load shifting and time-of-use optimization.
Does GWI handle EV charger installation?
GWI handles EV charger integration into the smart home system and coordinates with licensed electricians for the hardwired installation. We integrate ChargePoint Home Flex, Tesla Wall Connector, and Emporia EV chargers.
