Understanding Energy Metrics in Your Wondrwall Net Zero Home
As an owner of a Wondrwall home, you have access to valuable energy metrics that empower you to make informed decisions. Let’s explore these metrics and understand how they contribute to your home’s energy efficiency.
Note: This article is aimed at users with all components of a Wondrwall Energy Management System. Users without our solar & battery storage products may not get the benefits described.
Clean Energy Generation
Your Wondrwall home features a Photovoltaic (PV) array that harnesses sunlight and converts it into DC electrical energy. This clean energy is then transformed into AC electrical energy by the home’s hybrid inverter. The result? A sustainable power source that fuels your home.
Storage
The heart of your net zero home is the battery. This smart battery stores any surplus solar energy generated by the PV array. When your home’s energy demand exceeds what the PV panels produce, the battery steps in, ensuring an uninterrupted power supply. Additionally, the battery can be charged from the grid using the AC inverter, especially if you’re on an Off-Peak tariff.

Energy Consumption
Monitoring your daily energy usage is crucial. The Wondrwall system provides insights into how much energy you’re consuming. Armed with this information, you can adjust your lifestyle patterns to optimise energy usage. Whether it’s turning off lights when not needed or adjusting heating and hot water settings, small changes can lead to significant savings.
Imported Energy
This metric reveals how much energy you’re importing from the grid. Keeping this value low is essential for achieving net zero status. Refer to our article on How to heat my home efficiently? to further reduce your reliance on grid energy.
By actively managing these metrics, you contribute to a greener future while enjoying the comfort of modern living.
