Keys to combine solar energy and home automation

Now that the light is through the roof, more and more people are opting for solar energy. But the change is not only taking place due to the increase in the price of electricity, but also because it helps the environment.

But to achieve a reduction in energy consumption within the home, it is best to combine the benefits of solar energy with home automation . We are talking about intelligent systems through which a more autonomous home can be achieved and thus reduce consumption significantly. This means that little by little the number of smart homes is increasing to enjoy all its advantages.

Save electricity with home automation and solar energy

There is no doubt, reducing the electricity bill is something that worries the vast majority of families . Normally we think that families only want to reduce to save on the electricity bill, but the truth is that many also think about pollution.

To achieve this, SolarPlak experts tell us that many families have already chosen to install a home automation system at home . Thanks to this system, it is possible to make the house work in a much more efficient way, that is, the energy consumption is much lower. In addition, it is a very simple system to use, so anyone can quickly take advantage of it. For example, thanks to its remote control you can control everything with a mobile. All you need is an internet connection on your mobile and Wi-Fi at home. Both things already have almost everyone, hence there is no problem.

But the experts not only highlight home automation because it is an intelligent system, but also because it has a learning system. This means that the state-of-the-art home automation system itself has the option to learn and adapt to the needs of the family . Everything is linked to improving energy efficiency and thus achieving a good experience through which to save a lot of energy. And as you can imagine, the less energy you consume, the easier it will be to save money.

What can we control with a home automation system?

Thanks to the evolution of this technology, practically everything can be controlled with a good home automation system.

  • Appliances: it is estimated that 25% of the energy consumption of a home is taken by appliances. Thanks to this system, household appliances become smart and as a result, day-to-day consumption is significantly reduced. For example, the vitro can put the right power according to the food you want to cook. That is one of the many examples that could be given.

  • Air conditioning: it is another of the parts that take a good percentage of electrical consumption. Thanks to home automation, we will be able to program the perfect temperature upon arrival and thus reduce extra consumption when we are not at home.
  • Security: Alarm and surveillance systems can also be easily controlled by mobile.

smart solar panels

In order to reduce the electricity bill, it is not only necessary to opt for a home automation system. It is also essential to opt for the installation of solar panels.
