# How does the software work?

The software operates on a scheduling timer, performing specific functions every minute to retrieve data from your Solar Grid Inverter and transmit it to the Cloud application.

Each time the timer initiates, it acquires the latest settings from your account, influencing the execution's behavior. These behaviors are called "Overrides" and "Solar Bot Actions."

Additionally, when a particular "Energy Profile" is designated, the settings of your Solar Grid Inverter will be adjusted to align with the actions specified in the profile.
