The problem

Most home energy systems are not set up to keep pace with changing tariffs

Your tariff changes the value of your battery

Off-peak windows, export rates and time bands all shift the maths. Most setups never get re-tuned.

Manual scheduling is hard to keep up with

Charging plans, app toggles and seasonal usage make 'set and forget' almost impossible.

Most homeowners do not know if their system is performing

Without a clear baseline, underperformance and missed savings go unnoticed for months.
