Problem

Energy has long been one of the largest personal expenses and with working and learning from home increasing this year, power bills have risen, in some cases, by 20-30% meaning electricity is now an even bigger part of the household budget.

For such a substantial expense, it’s unfortunate that households have not had transparency of their energy use and, and for those who have paid thousands more for solar, an unmonitored system means they cannot make the most of their investment.

No visibility means no control over expenditure. By the time a household receives their bill (or a bill shock), it's too late. Existing alternatives to provide visibility require an electrician, at least one site visit, disruption of supply and hard-wiring.

Solution

The DiUS Powersensor empowers households with visibility - whole of site and appliance-level usage and solar generation - in the simplest way possible. No electrician, no wiring, no tools, no disruption of supply. Works with any meter or solar inverter. You just need a mobile phone and a WiFi connection.

Differentiator

Patented do-it-yourself approach to low-cost energy data acquisition from any meter and any solar inverter. With this data we drive (1) savings and safety outcomes for end-users (2) greater engagement outcomes for on and off-grid energy and solar providers (3) lower energy and carbon footprints for the community and nation.

Biggest Achievements

Successful transition to commercialisation phase : Technology patented - first wireless, self-installed solution that does not require wiring, proven in 500+ installations and paying customers in Australia, Singapore and New Zealand.
