• Reduced Wastage: By optimizing when your appliances are running, the Stromfee Shelly Switcher ensures that electricity is used more efficiently. This contributes to a decrease in overall energy consumption and, consequently, less energy wastage.

• Demand Shifting: By shifting energy-intensive tasks to times when electricity is not only cheaper but also likely to be abundant, the device can help mitigate stress on the grid. This often translates into reduced need for "peaking" power plants, which are generally less efficient and more polluting.

Reduced Emissions: By enabling more efficient use of electricity and promoting renewables, the Shelly Switcher helps in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Less reliance on fossil-fuel-based electricity means a smaller carbon footprint for you and your community.

• Better Utilization of Renewable Sources: Spot market prices often drop when there is a surplus of renewable energy. The Shelly Switcher can schedule energy usage during these times, indirectly promoting the use of renewable energy sources like wind and solar.

• Encouraging Renewable Investments: A smarter grid that can adapt to price signals is better suited to integrate renewable energy sources. This makes renewable energy projects more viable and could lead to increased investment in green technology.

Longevity of Appliances: Smart scheduling could potentially extend the life of your appliances by running them during non-peak hours, which generally offer more stable voltage. This means less frequent replacement and, consequently, reduced waste.
