Use case: protecting fridges and freezers during an outage

Limiting food spoilage during an outage

One of the biggest concerns in longer outages is food spoilage. Leafy Energy can run your battery in a way that keeps fridges and freezers cold as long as possible.

Fridge strategy

• Open the fridge door as little as possible.
• Leafy Energy can schedule short “cooling pulses” that keep temperature within range while minimising runtime.

Freezer strategy

• A well-filled freezer often stays cold for hours even without power.
• Leafy Energy can plan longer pauses between cooling pulses to conserve battery capacity.

Profile configuration

In your backup profile, mark fridges as high-critical and freezers as critical with intervals. Leafy Energy will factor this into scheduling and into decisions about shutting down other loads.
