Smart Tariff & Export Optimisation
Charge your battery on cheap night-rate power and export at the best Smart Export Guarantee window.
Your solar panels capture daylight, but the real payoff comes when that energy is stored and deployed on your terms. Smart tariff and export optimisation links your home battery to time‑of‑use rates so it charges on cheap night‑rate electricity and releases stored solar when the Smart Export Guarantee pays the most. The software watches tariff windows, weather forecasts and your household demand, then automatically decides the optimal charge‑discharge schedule — no manual switching required. Installed by our network of MCS‑certified installers, the system integrates with your existing inverter and battery, turning a static storage unit into a dynamic asset that works around the clock. The result is a smoother path to energy independence: you keep more of the power you generate, reduce reliance on peak‑price grid imports, and gain resilience when the grid goes down. All of this runs behind the scenes, letting you enjoy lower bills and greater control without adding complexity to daily life.
Why it matters
You gain true resilience because the battery can be pre‑charged overnight, ensuring backup power is ready before an outage strikes. Savings come from avoiding expensive daytime imports and from exporting surplus solar at the highest SEG rate the market offers at that moment. Independence grows as you rely less on the grid’s price swings and more on energy you already own. Convenience is built in — the tariff‑aware controller handles every decision, so you never need to monitor rates or manually start a charge cycle. The system also future‑proofs your home: as new tariffs or grid services appear, the software can adapt without hardware changes. Together, these benefits turn a simple storage box into a strategic energy hub that protects your comfort, your budget and your long‑term sustainability goals.

Frequently asked questions
Does the system work with any electricity supplier’s smart tariff? +
Yes, the controller supports all major UK time‑of‑use tariffs and can be updated for new ones.
Will I still have backup power during a grid outage? +
The battery is pre‑charged overnight, so it can supply essential loads automatically when the grid fails.
Can I override the automatic schedule if I want to? +
You can set manual preferences in the app, and the software will respect them while still optimising within those limits.
