2.0 Product Description
The PowerFlow Energy Gateway is a device designed to connect the Sundial battery storage
system to the internet via the building’s broadband connection. The Energy Gateway then
performs the task of connecting the battery storage system to PowerFlow Portal, a free online
monitoring website run by PowerFlow Energy.
PowerFlow Portal provides a number of features for the monitoring and control of the Sundial
battery storage system.
Monitoring includes a live energy flow reading of the building and the live battery status
updated every 15 seconds. In addition to the live display historical data is recorded and can be
displayed by selecting time periods for day, month and year.
Battery system control setup pages are also available to set pre defined charge periods for use
with night rate and multi-rate energy tariffs available from various supply companies.
The programming page enables adjustments for seasonal changes as well as differing energy
use profiles. Further information on PowerFlow Portal can be viewed online at
