⚠️ IMPORTANT: This article is intended for Swedish Emaldo® system owners ONLY. Peak tariffs are currently only implemented by some electricity retailers in Sweden, with a full implementation with all national Swedish electricity retailers from January 1st 2027. Currently peak tariffs are not applicable in any other markets and the peak shaving feature should therefore be enabled for applicable Swedish system owners only. |

⚠ Check your grid operator’s online portal or bill for the correct value. Adjust for high-consumption devices, like a sauna or jacuzzi, to avoid unnecessary charges.
Choose when peak shaving is active. Toggle All Day to run it 24/7, or set start and end times for specific hours. Then select which days it should apply.
⚠ Some electricity distributors use the same peak thresholds all day. Others apply lower thresholds at night. Check your distributor’s website or contact their support to confirm.

⚠ This is the emergency reserve, and will only be used as a last resort. To preserve the health of your battery this should not be set lower than 10%.
Set the Fixed Peak Reserve by moving the slider left and right.
⚠ This portion of energy is locked and only discharged during a Peak Shaving event. Set it above 10% to activate.
Energy reserved here won’t be used for other purposes. A higher setting may reduce your Grid Rewards earnings. We recommend around 20%.
⚠ Last, but not least, the Flexible Peak Reserve represents the energy that can be used for Grid Rewards, AI mode and Schedule mode. It’s only used for Peak Shaving if needed.
Flexible Peak Reserve is the remaining battery capacity that is not allocated as either UPS Reserve or Flexible Peak Reserve.
