We’re always looking for new ways to help our customers get the most from their renewable energy systems. That’s why we’re pleased to announce our new partnership with Lumo Energy.
Lumo is a free, smart optimisation platform that helps solar panels and battery storage systems work even harder for homeowners. By intelligently managing when your battery charges, discharges, and exports electricity, Lumo can increase the value of the energy your system generates without the need for any additional hardware.
Many battery systems already allow you to store excess solar energy for later use. Lumo takes this a step further by continuously analysing multiple factors, including your home’s electricity usage, weather forecasts, expected solar generation, and your electricity tariff.
Using this information, Lumo automatically decides the most cost-effective time to charge your battery, use stored energy, or export electricity back to the grid.
The result is a system that works smarter every day, helping to maximise the value of every unit of electricity your home produces.
According to Lumo, customers can improve the financial return from their existing solar and battery system by up to 30% through intelligent optimisation.
Rather than relying on fixed charging schedules, Lumo adapts to changing weather conditions, household demand, and electricity prices in real time. This means your battery is always working towards the best possible outcome, whether that’s reducing your electricity bills or increasing your export payments.
As the UK’s electricity network continues to evolve, homes with battery storage are becoming increasingly valuable to the grid.
Where eligible, Lumo can enrol customers into grid flexibility programmes, allowing your battery to support the electricity network during periods of high demand. In return, participating households may receive additional payments, creating another income stream from an existing battery installation.
Eligibility depends on your equipment, electricity supplier, and location, but the service will advise if your home qualifies.
One of the biggest advantages of Lumo is its simplicity. There is no new hardware to install, no engineer visits, and no monthly subscription fee. Once your compatible battery system is connected, the optimisation runs automatically in the background.
You can still monitor your system and performance through the free Lumo app while the platform handles the day-to-day optimisation for you.
If you’ve had a compatible solar and battery system installed by us, such as the Tesla Powerwall 3, connecting to Lumo could be an easy way to unlock even greater savings from your investment.
Whether you’re looking to reduce your electricity bills, make better use of off-peak tariffs, or increase your export income, intelligent battery optimisation can help your system deliver even more value.
If you’d like to learn more about Lumo or check whether your system is compatible, get in touch with us today on 01244 371445.
