Frequently Asked Question
What does the HESS-Gateway-M1 actually do?
It acts as the brain of your solar energy system. It decides where to send power—whether to your home, to charge your battery, or back to the grid. It also manages the switch to backup power during an outage.
What is “tiered backup”?
This feature allows you to choose which circuits in your home receive backup power. For example, you can choose to only power essentials like your lights, fridge, and internet router, which makes your stored battery energy last much longer during a prolonged outage.
Can this help me charge my electric car with solar power?
Yes. The gateway’s smart load management can be configured to divert surplus solar power to your EV charger, meaning you can fuel your car with clean, free energy from the sun.
Is the switching to backup power noticeable?
With a switching time of around 80 milliseconds, the transition is very fast. While not instantaneous, it’s quick enough to keep most appliances running without a significant interruption.
