Only the minimum information required for setup.
Payments are handled directly via PayPal. We don’t store any banking details.

Integrates with All Octopus Smart Tariffs such as Go, Intelligent, and Agile
Full integration with Intelligent Octopus Go is in Beta testing (control your home battery based on your car charging schedule).
Only two pieces of information required to set up your Electricity Account.
The service automatically retrieves your import and export tariff’s.
Integration with Economy 7/10 Tariff’s not currently available is possible by setting time based charging plans.
Time based charging also allows compatibility with any tariff such as Eon Drive and Tomato.

Works with all GivEnergy Inverters including AIO, and Hybrid.
Works with multiple battery strings from a single inverter.
Works with single Inverter systems.
Only Two pieces of information required to add your inverter to the service, plus a name of your choice.
Dual All-In-One integration in Beta Testing
EMS integration in development.

Works with single and multiple array systems.
Only three pieces of information required, all of which should be available from your install.

Your demand estimation is based on your own historic use of your inverter.
The estimate is based on a rolling average, and then adjusted for the the day of the week. User settings, allow for a contingency to in the demand calculations. E.g. an additional 10%.
High consuming / intermittent loads such as EV charging can be excluded from the estimated demand calculations.

Fully integrated weather / solar forecast. No separate third-party account required.
Solcast can be used as an alternative.
Choose to use the service to automatically adjust the target charge, based on estimated demand and forecast generation. User settings, allow for a contingency to in the demand calculations. E.g. a reduction of 10%.

Version 2 provides time block control. Multiple time blocks can be added to the 24 hour schedule, each with their own control plans.
Separate settings provided for charge and discharge control, allowing the user to set as per their requirements.
Settings include, time charge, tariff charge, and trigger charge based on the battery state of charge.
Similar for discharge, where you can choose to stop, limit or export battery charge.
Adjustments allow for limiting the charge power, discharging to a reserve level and similar depending on your inverter model.

Octopus Integration provides Tariff based charging control.
Non-Agile users can choose to charge when the import price of grid electricity is below a threshold.
Non Octopus smart tariff customers can set up charge and discharge plans based on the time of day.
Agile users charge during the cheapest agile slots.
Agile users can set additional charge slots, to reduce the risk of missing the target charge %.
Set the charge and discharge plans for the time of day you want them to operate.
Stop Discharge or Force Discharge based on electricity pricing.

A detailed dashboard is included, which is responsive to your device (desktop / mobile)
The detailed dashboard provides:
- Summary of Consumption, Generation and Battery use today.
- Carbon Widget displays current carbon intensity for your region.
- Simple Weather Forecast
- 7-day summary chart of generation and consumption
- 7-day summary chart of battery charge and discharge
- Forecast Generation, Consumption and Battery Energy Required for Tomorrow
- Summary of current charging and discharging slots based on your settings.
- Option to override target charge e.g. select 100% rather than optimised target charge.
A visual schedule updated at 9pm each day provides a summary of the charging plan.
An activity summary can be emailed out up to 3 times a day to warn you of errors.
