The Sourceful Energy Gateway is an innovative device designed by Sourceful to seamlessly integrate renewable energy sources, such as solar panels and battery systems, into a decentralized energy network. This user-friendly gateway empowers homeowners to actively participate in the renewable energy movement while earning rewards in the form of $ENERGY tokens for their contributions.
Setting up the Sourceful Energy Gateway is both quick and user-friendly, allowing users to effortlessly connect it to their existing solar inverters or battery systems in just a few minutes. The installation process is streamlined through a dedicated mobile app that guides users step-by-step, facilitating a seamless connection to their home network via WiFi or Ethernet. The gateway offers versatile connection options, enabling direct connection through Modbus TCP for compatible inverters, or using an RS485-to-Ethernet converter for those that only support Modbus RTU. Additionally, users with multiple devices can utilize a Modbus TCP Proxy to connect several devices to a single inverter, enhancing system flexibility and scalability. This adaptability ensures that the Sourceful Energy Gateway integrates seamlessly into various renewable energy systems, accommodating diverse user needs as they transition to a more sustainable energy future.
Once installed, the Energy Gateway becomes a crucial component in the vision of a decentralized virtual power plant (VPP). Users not only optimize their energy consumption but also contribute to grid stabilization efforts, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the overall energy network. By engaging with this cutting-edge technology, users can enjoy the benefits of lower energy costs while supporting a sustainable future. This gateway is compatible with a wide range of inverter brands and continuously expanding its compatibility to accommodate more devices.
