Schneider Electric Launches Solution to Add Smart Panel Functionality to Standard Home Electrical Systems

Schneider Electric announced the launch of a new modular, flexible solution to add smart panel functionality to standard home electrical systems. This solution, including new Square D Control Relays and the Schneider Energy Monitor, offer homeowners app-based control that is easier to install and at a lower cost than current smart panel options.

Installing this solution will help to provide homeowners with smart panel benefits, including circuit-level-control to help save energy and enhance safety, and system-wide energy monitoring. Whether updating an existing Square D QO Plug-on Neutral electrical panel or installing a new panel, this will allow homeowners to more inexpensively add smart functionality where it’s needed to help better manage their energy use and reduce their utility bills.

Available at electrical distributors, these solutions can be installed quicker and easier by a licensed electrician. The Square D Control Relays are designed to snap directly onto the Square D QO Plug-on Neutral breakers, while the Schneider Energy Monitor can be added directly into the panel at the same time. Commissioning for both devices can be done more quickly through the app, allowing the homeowner to monitor and control their energy use more conveniently from their mobile device.
