Going beyond Energy Shifting

Energy shifting is the starting point but with a solar and battery installation you can go further and energiebee can help in other ways. The most obvious is energy trading, which, rather than just moving the use of energy, will sell energy back to the grid at peak demand. In fact, the cost of energy goes up in response to demand so the higher the demand on the grid the better time it is for you to sell your energy.

You can go further than just selling energy from a home battery, you can choose to include your EV battery when you don’t need the car.

energiebee uses data from a wide variety of sources to make intelligent decisions in advance of events. For example, tomorrow’s weather forecast, the state of charge of your batteries, your car battery, tariff changes and fluctuations, your routines and input from the user (eg ‘Alexa, tell energiebee I’m have two guests for the weekend’).

All these inputs get your system in the right state to best take advantage of the available energy production, reduce costs and maximise energy shifting which helps the grid even more.
