How Charging Works

Kora charges batteries when:

  • Solar production exceeds home usage

  • Electricity rates are low (Time-of-Use)

  • Backup reserves need to be restored


How Discharging Works

Kora uses battery energy when:

  • Utility rates are high

  • The grid goes down

  • You’ve enabled energy optimization modes


Built-In Safeguards

  • Minimum reserve levels are always maintained

  • Batteries are protected from over-discharge

  • Charge rates are managed to extend battery life


Your Control

You can adjust:

  • Backup reserve levels

  • PV Self-consumption

  • Time-of-Use behavior

  • Participation in advanced programs (like VPPs)
