Abstract
A system for improving the overall performance of an energy generation system to a home includes an engagement platform, an energy generation system, an electronic device, and a home digital assistant. By drawing data across a disparate array of sources, including data from before the energy generation system is put online, the system generates and provides users and components of the energy generation system with personalized interactions, thereby effecting improvements in energy efficiency beyond those realized in behavior-agnostic control and monitoring systems.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- an engagement platform comprising a first processor and a first memory, the engagement platform further comprising:
- a database;
- and
- a communication interface;
- an energy generation system producing an electrical output, the energy generation system comprising:
- a solar panel;
- an inverter;
- and
- an output sensor communicatively coupled to the engagement platform;
- a home digital assistant communicatively coupled to the engagement platform;
- and
- an electronic device communicatively coupled to the engagement platform, the electronic device comprising a second processor and a second memory containing instructions, which when executed by the second processor, cause the electronic device to provide a graphical user interface (GUI) for the system;
- wherein the engagement platform is configured to:
- obtain, via the communication interface, configuration information of the energy generation system,
- provide, to an interaction model implemented by the engagement platform, the configuration information of the energy generation system in a common representation format of the engagement platform,
- obtain, via the communication interface, from the output sensor, a present value of a magnitude of the electrical output of the energy generation system,
- store the present value of the magnitude of the electrical output of the energy generation system in the first memory as electrical output data,
- provide, to the interaction model, the electrical output data in the common representation format of the engagement platform,
- obtain, from the database, a user profile associated with the energy generation system,
- provide, to the interaction model, the user profile associated with the energy generation system in the common representation format of the engagement platform,
- generate a personalized interaction for a user associated with the energy generation system, the personalized interaction based on application of the configuration information of the energy generation system, the electrical output data, and the user profile to the interaction model, and
- transmit the personalized interaction, via the communication interface, to one or more of the home digital assistant or the electronic device.
