1. A smart energy hub, installed at a residence, the smart energy hub comprising:
a first terminal connected to one or more power sources, wherein the one or more power sources include a plurality of photovoltaic (PV) panels electrically connected to an inverter, and wherein the inverter converts direct current (DC) electricity from the PV panels into alternating current (AC) electricity;
a second terminal connected to one or more smart energy devices, wherein the one or more smart energy devices are operated by AC electricity; and
one or more processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the smart energy hub to:
determine a first amount of AC power drawn from the inverter by the one or more smart energy devices;
determine a second amount of AC power supplied, from an electric grid, to the one or more smart energy devices;
determine a demand for electricity over time, based on the first AC power and the second AC power;
identify power consumption patterns of at least one user;
receive weather information related to an upcoming anticipated weather condition;
charge a battery, using the plurality of PV panels, based on the upcoming anticipated weather condition indicating an extreme weather event; and
modify distribution of electricity in the residence based, at least in part, on the power consumption patterns of the at least one user and the weather information.
