Abstract
Systems and techniques for solar energy management are described. A described system includes circuitry to determine a solar power generation value based on a power output of a solar power generator configured to supply electricity to a plurality of devices associated with a property; circuitry to determine a power consumption value of the plurality of devices; and a controller configured to determine a power status based on the solar power generation value and the power consumption value. The controller can be configured to selectively enable additional power consumption among the plurality of devices to an extent of the solar power generation value based on the power status indicating a power surplus state. The controller can be configured to selectively reduce power consumption among the plurality of devices based on the power status indicating a power deficit state.
