Intelligent Energy Management for Outages and Year-Round Power Optimization
Life in the Mid-Atlantic region brings nor'easters, tropical storms, and unpredictable winter weather. Power outages aren't a question of if, but when. Backup power means either a whole-house generator runs everything or you’re forced to sit in the dark. Savant Power offers a different approach—intelligent energy management that lets you choose exactly which lights and appliances stay powered during an outage. Your internet stays active so kids can finish homework, your kitchen functions normally, and your TV provides news updates and entertainment. Beyond backup, the system optimizes your energy use daily, reducing costs while automatically preparing for incoming storms.

What Is Savant Power?
Savant Power is a comprehensive energy management platform built around four main components. Savant Power Modules are installed at your electrical panel, monitoring and controlling individual circuits throughout your home. Battery storage units scale to meet your needs, storing anywhere from 20 to 500 kilowatt-hours. A hybrid inverter manages multiple power sources simultaneously, coordinating solar panels, battery storage, generators, and grid power. An optional EV charger integrates into the system for optimized vehicle charging.
The entire system operates through the Savant app on your phone or tablet. You see real-time energy consumption for every circuit. The system works with your existing electrical panel—no rewiring required. Whether you have solar panels, a backup generator, or simply grid power, Savant Power adapts to your current setup and gives you circuit-level control over how energy flows through your home.
How It Works During Outages
When a storm approaches, Savant Power's Storm Watch mode automatically reserves all available battery storage, preparing your home before the grid fails. The moment power goes out, the system switches to backup instantly, with no delay or manual intervention.
Circuit-level control is what makes the difference. Your internet router and office lighting stay active so kids can finish homework assignments. Kitchen essentials—refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker—continue functioning as though nothing happened. Your TV provides news updates about storm conditions and offers entertainment for restless evenings without power.
Load management extends your battery's energy stores. The system isn't powering unused circuits in guest bedrooms, the garage, or the basement workshop. It prioritizes what you need right now. You can adjust these priorities from your phone during the outage, shifting power to different areas as your needs change. When grid power returns, the transition back happens automatically.
Everyday Benefits Beyond Backup
Beyond keeping you powered during outages, Savant Power works for you every day. Eco Mode automatically draws from solar panels or battery storage during peak utility rate hours, lowering your monthly bills without requiring any input from you. Real-time monitoring shows exactly which circuits consume the most energy. You might discover your basement dehumidifier or pool pump runs far more than expected, so you can take action.
EV charging happens during off-peak hours or when solar production peaks, maximizing efficiency. The system integrates with your Savant smart home, coordinating lighting, climate control, and entertainment based on available power sources. For homeowners facing the unpredictability of coastal weather, this combination of daily optimization and storm preparedness offers both financial returns and genuine peace of mind.
Savant Power can deliver the peace of mind of energy independence to your home. At Overture, we integrate the system with your existing smart home technology, customizing it to match your priorities and daily routines.
