Four reasons why you should become a Lumin Certified Installer

Environmental advocates and industry leaders have championed clean energy solutions for years to aid in decarbonization and increase capacity on the power grid. Incentives and rebates like the Inflation Reduction Act to help curb the cost of energy efficient technologies and Americans have taken notice. In fact, the U.S. Department of Treasury recently reported that Americans took advantage of $8 billion in tax credits for residential energy improvements in 2023. It’s clear that homeowners are interested in affordable energy upgrades, so why not sell one that optimizes their solar + storage system?

The Lumin Smart Panel is an energy management system that helps homeowners expertly manage their energy and extend their backup device’s runtime. Moreover, homeowners can use it to generate cost savings from their utility bills and benefit from Inflation Reduction Act rebates. But homeowners aren’t the only ones that benefit from Lumin’s innovative solutions. Our Lumin Certified Installers find that they get a lot from the product as well.

1. The Lumin Smart Panel is an essential part of the home energy ecosystem

If we had it our way, a Lumin Smart Panel would be installed with every solar + storage system. Why? For starters, the Lumin Smart Panel offers homeowners more flexibility. Homeowners can access all of the connected circuits in their home and prioritize them from most important to least – all with a single battery. During a power outage, an automation called Smart Power Mode kicks on and begins to intelligently guide power to the circuits that matter most. This is primarily led by battery state of charge integration which monitors the battery’s capacity to determine how to best meet a homeowner’s preset preferences. The Lumin Smart Panel is compatible with all batteries but has battery state of charge integration with Tesla Powerwall 3, Enphase and SolarEdge batteries. Have a generator? You’ll be glad to hear that the Lumin Smart Panel works with those too.  

Better yet, homeowners aren’t locked into any specific configuration, they can reprioritize their electrical loads any time they want. All of this works together to prevent nuisance tripping, extend battery runtime and optimize a homeowner’s power supply.

2. The Lumin Smart Panel helps increase close rates

Battery technology has come far, but there are still risks that could lead to nuisance tripping. The movement to electrify everything coupled with increasingly frequent extreme weather events is only going to elevate that risk. Without an energy management system in the mix, a homeowner’s battery could easily become overwhelmed when the power supply is limited. To help instill confidence in your buyers, propose a solution like the Lumin Smart Panel to protect the battery and increase its runtime during a power outage.

The rest of the Lumin Smart Panel’s features practically sell themselves. In addition to Smart Power Mode, homeowners can also take advantage of circuit scheduling and customized state of charge settings to how and when their stored energy is used. Pairing a comprehensive solution like this with your next solar battery or generator install is sure to earn you some extra brownie points with just about any homeowner.

3. The Lumin Smart Panel is simple to install 

There are some sizable differentiators when it comes to the installation process of smart panels and energy management systems. Some systems require a complete tear-out before installation can even begin. Others simply aren’t compatible with the homeowner’s current setup. This is another place where the Lumin Smart Panel shines.

The Lumin Smart Panel can be installed right next to the homeowner’s load center, there’s no need to remove or relocate existing breakers. It is fully compatible and also retrofit-ready. When it comes to installs, we know time is money. Save that time with the pre-wired Lumin Smart Panel and benefit from a turnkey installation process that works with all home load centers and energy storage systems.

4. The Lumin Smart Panel comes with a quick and easy training program

To get a closer look at the Lumin Smart Panel’s simple installation process, you can participate in our Lumin Certified Installer training program. The training is held online and on-demand for your convenience. Even better, it’s relatively short when considering how long most training courses take. Some installers complete it in just an hour. Once training is complete, you’ll get an official Lumin Certified Installer badge that you can use in your advertising efforts or to post on your website.

And did we mention that all of this is free? In other words, there’s not much to lose when taking this course. Plus, you’ll learn something new.

As you can see, there are plenty of reasons to add us to your list of certifications. Plus, we’ve made things quick, simple and beneficial so you can start providing customers with a solution that helps their storage + solar system work like it should. Ready to get started?
