Photon Hub · Residential
Residential Energy Gateway
The brain of the home. Photon Hub orchestrates your solar inverter, home battery and EV charger from a single palm-sized box. Universal protocol support, dual Wi-Fi + 4G connectivity and OTA updates — install once, optimize forever.
Smart, predictive, backup-ready
Three jobs, fully automatic. Dynamic tariff arbitrage, 24-hour AI forecasting and sub-100 ms islanding when the grid drops — all running locally on the Hub.
Smart Savings Engine
Dynamic tariff arbitrage built-in. Charges the battery off-peak, discharges during peak — every hour, automatically re-planned.
Energy Oracle (AI Forecast)
Weather API + 90-day learning window. Predicts solar production and household consumption 24 hours ahead so the battery plan actually holds.
Backup-Ready
Auto-island under 100 ms when the grid drops. Battery becomes grid-forming, PV keeps charging, home stays lit. Auto-resync on restore.
Features
Designed for the home
Palm-Sized, DIN-Rail
EC100 class form factor. Fanless, silent, designed for the home electrical panel.
Dual-Link Connectivity
Wi-Fi + 4G/LTE SIM with automatic failover. Internet drops, 4G takes over — your optimization keeps running.
Universal Compatibility
Modbus RTU/TCP + CAN. Any inverter brand, any BMS — no vendor lock-in.
OTA via N2N Cloud
Firmware and config pushed over-the-air. No truck rolls, no service visits.
Architecture
Home to cloud,
always coordinated
Photon Hub sits between your home's solar, battery and EV assets and the Photon cloud platform. It reads inverter and BMS telemetry over Modbus and CAN, runs the AI scheduler locally for sub-second decisions, and stays connected through dual Wi-Fi + 4G — so optimization keeps running even if your home network goes down.
Capabilities
More than a gateway
A complete residential energy controller. Preset modes, a single-pane app, OEM-ready asset monitoring and cybersecurity baked in.
Preset Modes
Self-Consumption · Sell to Grid · Smart Zero Export · Custom. Switch from the mobile app in one tap.
Single-Screen App
Mobile + Web, same interface. Solar production, battery SoC, grid flow and home consumption at a glance.
OEM-Ready (APM)
Asset Performance Monitoring portal. If you distribute Photon Hub under your brand, your fleet health data feeds into your warranty workflow automatically.
Cybersecure by Design
mTLS, signed firmware, secure boot. Every command authenticated end-to-end.
Specifications
Technical details
Purpose-built for residential energy. Compact, silent, and engineered to live behind the home electrical panel.
Use Cases
One Hub, every home scenario
Solar + Home Battery
Maximize self-consumption. Charge the battery from PV first, sell surplus when prices are high.
Backup Power for Homes
Auto-island during outages. Critical loads (fridge, lights, modem) stay up — no manual switch.
EV Smart Charging
Solar-aware charging schedule. Charge from rooftop when sun is out, from cheap tariff when not.
OEM / White-Label
Battery, inverter or EPC brands deploy Photon Hub under their own label. The APM portal opens an after-sales revenue channel.
