You save even more by integrating your battery with your energy tariff. By setting your battery to charge during times when energy is cheaper (and greener!), you can reduce your electricity bills. It's a win-win for both your wallet and the planet!
The smart algorithm has been developed in house by our software team and is controlled and developed by us.
Our algorithm controls when the battery charges from the grid. We know for each tariff the price of energy, so when the energy is at its cheapest (usually during the night), we will arrange for the battery to be charged, ready to be discharged when the price of the energy goes up later in the day.
Rather than just simply charging the battery overnight on cheap energy, we will look at several factors to ensure that you are optimising on the potential savings on your energy bill. For example, we will also look at the weather forecast when deciding how much the battery should charge from the grid. If it is expected to be a sunny day, there will be a lot of excess solar generated (depending on house loads), therefore we want to avoid charging your battery to 100% on cheap energy at night, cheap energy is good but free energy is the best! The battery will charge to the required amount depending on the weather forecast, predicted amount of solar to be generated and your energy consumption habits.
As the algorithm learns your energy consumption habits, performance will improve over time as estimations on how much solar energy will be used and how much excess will be generated to stored in your battery.
