1. An electrical load management system for controlling a plurality of electrical loads, comprising:
a local energy generator;
a main electrical energy service panel being electrically coupled to the local energy generator, a battery, and a utility company power grid;
a first power meter for outputting an energy signal indicating an energy capacity corresponding to an amount of electrical energy being output by the local energy generator to the main electrical service panel;
a load management computer being operably coupled to said first energy meter and to each electrical load of said plurality of electrical loads, to a battery charge controller of said battery system and said utility company computer server, said load management computer determining electrical load priority of each of said plurality of electrical loads relying on electrical load records of said plurality of electrical loads;
said load management computer correlating the electrical load requirements determined from said electrical load records with electrical energy generated by said local energy generator identified by said first energy meter thereby determining if generation of power electrical energy from said local energy generator is sufficient to meet electrical requirements of said plurality of electrical loads or exceeds the electrical requirements of said plurality of electrical loads;
said load management computer directing electrical energy from at least one of said local energy generator, said utility company energy grid and said battery system through said electrical energy service panel to meet electrical requirement of each of said plurality of electrical loads;
said load management computer optimizing allocation of electrical energy to each of the electrical loads by allocating one of less than sufficient electrical energy, sufficient electrical energy or more than sufficient electrical energy to meet electrical load requirements of the electrical load priorities as determined from the electrical load records; and
said load management computer identifying a maximum demand of electrical energy from said electrical load records of at least one of said electrical loads and increasing the maximum demand of energy of at least one of said electrical loads based upon a hierarchy of electric load priorities stored in said load management computer for transferring excess electrical energy to at least one of said electrical loads in excess of said maximum demand of electrical energy identified in said electrical load records.
