  Battery Value - At Torus, we believe in making renewable energy as accessible as possible. That’s why we designed a battery with everything you need for efficient, reliable residential storage and nothing more. The Torus Smart battery seriously delivers on performance at an affordable price point. And that’s just part of what makes the Torus Station unique. 

  Orchestration, Automations, & Integrations - No matter how you slice it, the average home uses a lot of electricity. The Torus Station integrates with smart thermostats, EV chargers, and smart appliances, orchestrating up to 85% of your electricity consumption and ensuring you’re using every last watt as efficiently as possible. 

  Better yet, we built our system to be proactive. Torus automatically tailors your home's energy storage and usage based on rolling three-day weather and energy forecasts. And, it automatically updates its data on an hourly basis, meaning your system is always prepared for what lies ahead. 

  Here are a couple of examples of our unique features in use:

  1. Home Backup: Let’s say there’s stormy weather on the horizon. Your Torus Station will automatically charge your battery to full capacity as quickly as possible, just in case there’s a power outage.
  2. Pre-Cooling: When it detects a surplus of renewable energy, your Torus Station can automatically cool your home by 1-2 degrees below the temperature on your smart thermostat. Proactively cooling your home with renewables reduces the need to use your HVAC system at night when clean energy is less abundant.
  3. Solar Charging: By integrating Torus with your EV charger, you can charge your vehicle using only the renewable energy you have generated. Doing so means your next trip to the grocery store will be 100% emissions-free.
  4. All-In-One System - Other solar and battery setups can be complicated to piece together. That’s why we made the Torus Station a seamless solution for creating, storing, and managing power. Our system was built to work together, ensuring a more rewarding, intuitive experience for our customers.
  5. Real, Measurable Results - With the Torus App, you can track reductions to your utility costs and carbon footprint in real time. Week-over-week, year-over-year, Torus helps you build a greener, more affordable future you can see for yourself.
  6. Support - Our software monitors your Torus Station’s performance on a minute-by-minute basis. It automatically alerts us as soon as it detects any issues, allowing us to keep your system operating just as it should be at all times.
