FAQs
What types of generators do you install for smart energy management systems in Mulberry?
We supply and install a full range of standby and prime-power generators, including natural-gas, diesel, and dual-fuel models from 8 kW residential units to 2 MW commercial sets. All generators come equipped with smart controllers that communicate with our energy-management platform, allowing seamless integration with utility power, solar arrays, and on-site battery storage.
How does a smart energy management generator system work?
A smart controller continuously monitors utility power quality, site demand, fuel levels, and renewable-generation output. When the platform detects an outage, peak-demand event, or favorable time-of-use rate, it automatically starts the generator, synchronizes it with your electrical panel, and balances the load with any solar or battery resources. Once normal grid conditions return, the controller executes a smooth transfer back to utility power and performs a cooldown cycle before shutting the generator off—all without user intervention.
Can I integrate solar panels or battery storage with my generator?
Yes. Our UL-listed automatic transfer switches and hybrid inverters allow three-way coordination between the generator, PV array, and lithium-ion battery bank. During daylight hours the system prioritizes solar power, stores excess energy in the batteries, and keeps the generator on standby. At night or during extended cloudy periods, the generator will start only when battery state-of-charge reaches a predefined threshold, maximizing fuel efficiency and reducing emissions.
What are the benefits of smart generator monitoring and control?
Smart monitoring gives you real-time visibility into voltage, frequency, power factor, fuel consumption, and maintenance alerts via a secure web or mobile app. Remote control lets you exercise the unit, silence alarms, or initiate a test cycle from anywhere. Predictive analytics can schedule oil changes, filter replacements, and load-bank tests based on actual run hours, which minimizes downtime and extends equipment life. Customers typically see fuel savings of 10–15 % compared with conventional unmanaged operation.
How often does my generator need maintenance and can you handle it?
Routine maintenance is recommended every 200 run hours or annually—whichever comes first—for residential units, and every 250–400 hours for larger commercial sets. Service includes oil and filter changes, coolant checks, battery inspection, and a full electrical systems test. Our Mulberry-based technicians are factory trained and available 24/7 for preventive maintenance agreements as well as emergency repairs. All service data is logged in the smart platform so you have a complete digital record.
Does a smart generator system qualify for any rebates or incentives in Mulberry?
While traditional standby generators alone are not usually incentivized, combining a generator with a smart controller, solar PV, or battery storage can qualify for federal Investment Tax Credits (30 % through 2032) and Florida Net Metering benefits. Commercial customers may also receive demand-response payments from Tampa Electric’s TEC DemandSmart program when they allow their generator to offset grid load during peak events. We provide documentation and filing assistance to ensure you capture every available credit and rebate.
