8bit solutions

Solar + Battery Health

Understand battery behaviour and solar performance, then use that insight to protect stored energy.

The hardware behind it

Concept render

Track solar production and battery condition in one place.

Your inverter guesses. 8bit measures.

See
Measure battery and solar behavior with channel-level evidence, not estimates.
Control
Automate load cutback and recovery based on battery and harvest thresholds.
Resilience
Preserve protection logic with local execution and BLE fallback during outages.
In your environment

Built around real life.

Protect expensive battery banks, increase useful solar harvest, and automate safe load behavior before deep discharge causes damage.

Battery storage and solar generation environment
Example application

Night-time battery anxiety at home

A homeowner sets auto cutback for water heater and high loads at low SOC, then restores normal behavior when daytime harvest recovers.

How 8bit protects batteries and solar ROI

  1. SolarGuard and Hydra expose real battery behavior over time.

  2. The app surfaces early warnings before critical battery damage occurs.

  3. Solar contribution is measured against load behavior to improve scheduling.

  4. Automations enforce safe operating thresholds without manual intervention, even through connectivity drops.

How 8bit solves this in the app

Battery and solar telemetry feed low-SOC automations so the system reacts early instead of waiting for failure.

  • Battery state and voltage trends with configurable low-threshold alerts
  • Charge and discharge history that highlights harmful cycling patterns
  • Rule-based load shedding and recovery actions tied to battery health
  • Local automation execution plus BLE fallback when cloud or router is unavailable

Advantage

Why this works better than inverter-only monitoring

  • Channel-level visibility beats single-number battery estimates.
  • Early alerts and policy automations prevent expensive replacement cycles.
  • Data-backed operation with resilient control makes installer support more scalable.
