Save even more money from your energy bills without lifting a finger.
How Our Battery Optimisation AI Works
Our battery optimisation service helps you get the most out of your solar and battery system automatically. Using smart algorithms and real-time energy pricing, it charges and discharges your battery at the most cost-effective times, lowering your energy bills and increasing your independence from the grid.
Designed for Agile Tariffs
To benefit from the service, you'll need to be on a half-hourly agile tariff, such as Octopus Agile. These tariffs update every 30 minutes based on wholesale prices. The AI monitors these price changes and uses them to charge your battery when electricity is cheapest and discharge it when prices are high, maximising your savings.
Smarter Charging, Smarter Usage
Our optimisation software learns how and when your home uses energy. It tracks your household usage, solar generation, battery level, weather forecasts and grid prices to make intelligent decisions every day. This means:
-
Charging your battery during cheap (or even negative) rate periods
-
Discharging when prices are higher, helping you avoid costly peak-time rates
-
Storing excess solar rather than exporting it too early
Over time, it gets smarter - continually adapting to improve performance based on real-world patterns.
Selling Back to the Grid
If you want to earn money from any excess energy your home generates and stores, you’ll need to be signed up to a Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) tariff with your energy provider. This allows you to export surplus electricity back to the grid and be paid for it. The AI can help you time this export to coincide with higher prices, boosting your returns.

Let the AI Do the Hard Work
There’s no manual scheduling or switching needed. Once set up, everything runs quietly in the background, making sure your system is always working to save you money. If you’d like to activate battery optimisation or check if you’re eligible, just get in touch.
