Smart Home Energy Management & Solar Solutions in Minnesota
Enjoy total visibility and resilient power in every season
The next ice storm shouldn’t decide whether your home stays warm and secure. Whether you are embarking on new construction or a major renovation, the energy design for your home requires more than just standard electricity. A home energy management system provides the intelligence to monitor, manage, and optimize your power consumption in real-time. By combining sustainable smart home technology with world-class automation, ResTech Systems ensures your home remains comfortable, efficient, and powered, even when the grid fails.
Working on a new build? Through Walk Your Plan, the region’s only life-size design preview studio, you can walk your floor plan at full scale before construction begins and plan your energy system alongside every other design decision.
A Smarter, More Efficient Way to Power Your Home
We approach energy as a core component of your whole-home integration. Smart energy management delivers outage resilience and full visibility into your power. Just as important, it gives your luxury technology loads a stable foundation to run on. Lower utility bills are a welcome bonus.
In a traditional home, power is a “black box”; you use it, and 30 days later, you receive a bill. By using circuit-level monitoring, we provide real-time energy insights that let you see exactly where your power is going, down to the specific appliance or room. Instead of reactive consumption, your home becomes a proactive environment that manages energy modes based on utility peak/off-peak strategies, reducing your footprint without ever sacrificing your lifestyle.
Designed for the Way You Live
Everyday Efficiency
Experience a “set-and-forget” lifestyle where your home automatically reduces waste. With custom scenes, your sustainable smart home technology can dim lights, adjust motorized shades, and set thermostats to eco modes the moment you leave for work. By integrating with Savant Power, your home can automatically shed non-essential loads when it senses no occupancy, ensuring you never pay to power an empty room.
Energy Independence
Maintain grid independence during the unpredictable Minnesota seasons, from summer storms rolling across Lake Minnetonka to deep-winter cold snaps. With home battery backup, your system automatically detects a grid failure and transitions to stored power. You can pre-set priorities so that critical loads, such as refrigeration, medical equipment, and security, remain active while non-essential circuits are shed. This intelligent shedding allows a modest battery bank to last days rather than hours.
Sustainable Living
Optimize your home solar system by aligning production with usage. Your energy dashboard shows exactly how much solar energy you are generating and allows you to store excess power in your battery storage for use during high-cost peak hours. This maximizes your return on investment for smart home energy solutions by ensuring you use every kilowatt you produce rather than selling it back to the grid for pennies.
Entertaining & Comfort
Don’t let power constraints limit your hospitality. Whether you are powering a high-performance home theater or outdoor entertainment, our smart home energy solutions manage heavy electrical loads invisibly in the background. If the system detects a high-demand event, it can temporarily throttle aesthetic lighting or pool pumps so your guests’ experience remains flawless and uninterrupted.
Complete Home Energy Solutions: The Tech Behind the Scenes
A truly integrated home energy management system requires a sophisticated systems integrator to weave complex hardware into a simple user experience. We specialize in custom-designed systems for high-end residential projects across Minnesota, from Minneapolis to Deephaven and Minnetonka.
Smart Electrical Panels & Load Management
The heart of the system is the smart electrical panel. Traditional panels are binary; breakers are either on or off. Our load management solutions allow for granular control over individual circuits. You can literally turn off your dishwasher or water heater from your phone to prioritize power for your home office during a workday outage.
Battery Storage & Whole-Home Backup
We design home battery backup systems that offer far more flexibility than a standard generator. Unlike generators, which require fuel and maintenance, battery storage is silent, instantaneous, and requires zero user intervention. We calculate your critical load requirements to size a battery bank that offers true outage resilience.
Solar & EV Charging Integration (Level 2)
We integrate your home solar system and Level 2 EV charging into the central Savant Power ecosystem. This allows you to schedule vehicle charging for when energy is cheapest or when solar production is at its peak. Your energy dashboard will even tell you how many miles of range you’ve added using purely green energy from your roof.
Efficiency Multipliers: Lighting & Climate
Energy management doesn’t exist in a vacuum. We tie your power strategy to smart lighting and shading. In the winter, your shades can open to harvest solar heat; in the summer, they close to reduce the load on your AC. These small, automated adjustments are the force multipliers of a sustainable smart home technology plan.
One System. Total Control.
The primary differentiator of a ResTech-designed system is the single interface control. By placing Savant Power at the center of your home, you no longer need separate, clunky apps for your solar, your battery, and your automation. And because batteries and inverters are planned into mechanical spaces from the start, your home’s design stays clean and uncluttered.
- From a single app, you can:
- Monitor real-time energy insights for the entire property.
- Switch between energy modes (Eco, Storm, Off-Grid).
- View a live map of power flow: from solar to battery, or grid to house.
- Receive alerts if a specific circuit (e.g., a sump pump) is drawing excessive power.
A Thoughtful Approach to Energy Design
We believe in engineering, not just equipment sales. We partner with builders and interior designers from the earliest plans, so energy infrastructure is designed in rather than added on, helping avoid change orders and opened walls later in the build. Our process is designed to support the unique needs of Minnesota homeowners:
- Consultation: We discuss your specific goals—whether it’s outage resilience, sustainability, or managing a massive new construction project.
- System Design: Our team engineers an integration plan that includes smart electrical panel layouts and future-ready allowances.
- Professional Installation: We coordinate with your electrical contractors to ensure a clean install with minimal disruption.
- Programming & Handoff: We configure your energy dashboard and ensure you are comfortable using the single interface control.
- Ongoing Support: We provide long-term care, 24/7 service and support, and network foundation support to keep your system performing reliably.
