Setting Up Time-of-Use (TOU) Schedules

Pay Less by Using Energy at the Right Time Time-of-Use schedules allow Kora to shift energy usage away from expensive hours and into lower-cost periods.

Setting Up Time-of-Use (TOU) Schedules

Time-of-Use schedules allow Kora to shift energy usage away from expensive peak hours and into lower-cost periods, reducing your electricity bill automatically.

How TOU Scheduling Works

• You define peak, off-peak, and super off-peak periods based on your utility rate plan
• Kora automatically adjusts battery charging and discharging to optimize around these periods
• No daily interaction required. Savings happen automatically

Setup Steps

1. Open the Kora app.
2. Tap MANAGE in the bottom navigation bar.
3. Tap the Battery icon in the Manage sub-navigation.
4. Locate the Strategy Mode display blocl
5. Tap Edit
6. Under Strategy Mode, select the Time-of-Use option.
7. Set up your utility rate plan (or tap SET UP under Utility Plan if not yet configured).
8. Save your changes.

Custom Rate Plan Types

If your utility plan is not found automatically, you can create a custom rate plan. Kora supports four types:

• Time Based: Define peak and off-peak time periods with different rates for each.
• Tiered kWh: Rates change based on how much energy you’ve used (measured in kWh).
• Tiered % of Base: Rates change based on your usage as a percentage of a baseline allocation.
• Fixed: A single flat rate regardless of time or usage.
