Frequently asked questions

Electrical demand is the highest amount of electricity a home or business pulls from the grid at any one moment, not the total electricity used over a month. Think of your monthly bill as having two parts. One is how much energy you actually use over time, which is measured in kilowatt hours. Two is how hard you push the electrical company at any single moment. That is the demand charge, measured in kilowatts.

The PowerCORE is a demand management device that stores up to 10 kW of ready power inside its capacitor bank. This stored power stays fully charged and on standby. The moment your home or business hits a high-demand moment, the PowerCore releases its stored energy instantly so your building does not pull that spike from the utility. This keeps your peak demand low and lowers your monthly bill.

Utility companies charge for your highest moment of power usage each month. Even a few seconds of a big spike can increase your entire bill. When you have stored power ready inside the PowerCore, you avoid that spike from ever hitting the grid. Instead of your house pulling from APS or SRP during that big moment, it pulls from the PowerCore. It is like having a buffer that steps in and takes the hit for you so the utility never sees the spike.

No. It works differently. Batteries release power slowly, they wear out, and they cannot respond instantly to demand spikes. The PowerCore uses capacitor-based storage and power conditioning technology, which releases energy instantly, handles constant cycling without degradation, and pulls in and out power at incredible speed. This is what makes it perfect for demand reduction.

Demand billing rates are special rates offered by utility companies that provide significantly reduced energy usage charges, provided that the customer keeps their energy demand below a preset limit.

On a demand rate you save the most by keeping your peak as low as possible. That means avoiding running everything at once during peak hours and using a demand manager like PowerCore to absorb those spikes for you. When your home is on a demand plan and your peaks are controlled, you can enjoy a lower rate structure while avoiding the typical penalty of high demand charges.

The box is continually charging itself from your normal electrical supply. It is always topping itself off and balancing the power so it is full and ready at all times. As soon as the load in your home or business starts to spike, the PowerCore pulls from its internal storage instead of letting that spike hit the utility meter.

Savings depend on your utility, your plan, and how you currently use power. Many homes on demand rates see meaningful reductions in the demand portion of their bill when peaks are controlled. Some customers may see savings up to 50% on the monthly bill, but a proper bill analysis gives the best estimate for your specific home. We aim to adjust your rate plan in conjunction with the PowerCORE take advantage of the lowest rates provided.

SolaX USA installs the PowerCore with a full clean power and EMF reduction approach, not just demand management. We analyze your bill, your panel, and your usage pattern, then apply a system that reduces demand charges while delivering healthier, cleaner energy to your home. You get performance, support, and a premium product that most installers cannot match.

The best time is before summer peaks, before adding heavy appliances, or before enrolling in a demand rate plan. Installing PowerCore early ensures your home is protected from high charges and dirty power from day one.

It is always active. The moment your load climbs toward a peak, PowerCore releases its fast, clean energy. It reduces the demand seen by the utility and cleans the power flowing through your home at the same time. It is instant and automatic.

To get started, contact us to schedule a consultation. Our team will analyze your energy usage, identify potential savings, and help you understand how the PowerCORE can benefit your household.

No. PowerCore reduces demand and cleans up dirty electricity with or without solar. Homes without solar see immediate improvements in power quality and cost savings.

Yes. Solar helps produce power. PowerCore helps regulate, clean, and stabilize it. When clouds shift or loads start suddenly, PowerCore fills in the gaps with clean stored energy so your peaks stay low and your home stays protected.

PowerCore works at the panel level. Your appliances stay the same, but they run on cleaner, more stable energy with less EMF and less electrical noise. Motors run smoother. Electronics run cooler. Everything lasts longer!!!

Not at all. Once installed, it simply makes your home function better. No new habits. No routines. Just smoother power, healthier electrical space, and lower demand charges.

Yes, Most locations offer incentives for energy efficiency upgrades or clean power improvements at $600.00 Tax Credit. SolaX USA can help you check active programs.

A bill analysis shows your peak demand, how often you spike, and how much of your bill is tied to those peaks. SolaX USA uses that to estimate savings and to show how PowerCore will clean and stabilize your power. You will know your expected benefit before anything is installed.

Once the PowerCORE is at your home, installs are typically scheduled quickly depending on location. Most residential installations take less than a day. The PowerCORE system is usually carried in stock for fast and easy installation so you can start saving.

Yes. PowerCore hardware is backed by a manufacturer warranty, and SolaX USA supports all installation workmanship. You get protection, support, and a system built to last for years of clean, stable performance. Contact customer support team for specific details on their warranty terms.

Pricing depends on your panel, home size, and installation needs, but the PowerCore system retails for $5995. Many customers find that it pays for itself through lower demand charges, smoother electrical performance, and healthier clean power throughout the home. Savings build month after month. Ask about available discounts or seasonal pricing, because depending on your area or timing, you may qualify for a reduced rate. ***Disclaimer: Return on Investment (ROI) ranges from 2-6 years. And remember, the PowerCORE can be easily removed and taken with you to your next home if you choose to move.

The PowerCore is built with advanced capacitor storage and EMF reduction technology instead of slow battery systems or simple load controllers. It reacts instantly, reduces dirty electricity, stabilizes voltage, and smooths peaks all at once. It is a complete clean power system, not just a demand tool.

EV chargers create some of the biggest spikes in a home. PowerCore steps in with clean stored energy the moment the charger kicks on so your meter does not see that huge surge. You keep your demand low, protect your bill, and feed your expensive EV charger cleaner power with less EMF noise.
