Lumin has announced early access to its latest innovation, Panel Guard.
Designed to meet the increasing demand for an electrified lifestyle, Panel Guard combines intelligent energy management with the circuit-level visibility and control provided by the Lumin Smart Panel. By dynamically managing loads to stay within the home’s electrical limits, it eliminates the need for expensive panel replacements or utility upgrades when adding in-demand appliances such as electric vehicle chargers, electric water heaters and heat pumps. The companion Lumin Energy app allows homeowners to better understand and optimize their energy consumption, helping them avoid peak rates.
Many homeowners may face expensive electrical panel and utility upgrades to electrify their homes. Lumin’s Panel Guard technology addresses this challenge by dynamically managing all major home loads, allowing energy-intensive appliances such as electric boilers and induction hobs to be seamlessly integrated – without expensive infrastructure upgrades. By prioritizing the on-demand use of appliances, Panel Guard enables homeowners to power their homes comfortably and efficiently. The retrofit-ready platform can be seamlessly combined with any existing service panel, ensuring universal compatibility in any home.
Additionally, the new Lumin Energy app, designed from the ground up with homeowners in mind, enhances the electrification experience with intuitive features that provide energy transparency and control:
- Control individual circuits on demand for more freedom and flexibility.
- Schedule circuits to optimize energy consumption around peak hours.
- Access real-time and historical energy data for energy saving insights.
“The Lumin Smart Panel, equipped with Panel Guard, provides an all-in-one solution to the biggest challenges in home electrification,” said Kelly Warner, CEO of Lumin. “By combining intelligent, automated energy management with intuitive features, we enable homeowners to power their homes without limits, ensuring comfort, visibility and complete energy control.”
During this early access phase, Lumin Smart Panel with Panel Guard will be delivered as a separate and distinct product from the current Lumin Smart Panel, providing additional optimization for solar and storage setups. The former offers a special focus on electrification through advanced circuit management and is UL 916 certified. Early access shipments are scheduled for the first quarter of 2025.
This latest innovation underlines Lumin’s commitment to making advanced energy management accessible to more homeowners.
