Energy Monitoring and Smart Home Energy
You cannot manage what you cannot see. We set up real-time monitoring so you know what you generate, store and use, and what it is saving you*.
See Your Energy in Real Time
One app shows solar production, battery charge, home use and grid draw. You can spot the appliances that cost the most and move them to the hours your panels work hardest.
Most households find two or three habits that account for a large share of their evening bill. Once you can see them, they are easy to change.
What the App Shows You
Monitoring is included with the systems we install on solar and battery storage.
| Reading | What it tells you | What to do with it |
|---|---|---|
| Solar production | How much your panels make, hour by hour | Run the dishwasher, washing machine and pool pump at midday |
| Battery state | Charge level and when it fills and empties | Check whether it lasts to bedtime |
| Home use | Where the power goes | Find standby loads and old appliances |
| Grid import and export | What you buy and what you send back | Test whether a bigger or smaller system makes sense |
Get More From Your Battery
Monitoring helps you tune when the battery charges and discharges around your real routine, so more of your evening runs on stored solar and less on peak-rate grid power.
If you are choosing a size, the data from a few months of monitoring is the best evidence you can have. It is also how we check a large battery is being used, which matters on the bigger home battery size guide.
Ready for Smart Control and Virtual Power Plants
A connected system is the base for time-of-use optimisation, EV charging that follows solar, and virtual power plant (VPP) programs. Rules and payments vary by program and state, and some programs limit which batteries can join. Check the current terms before you sign up.
To qualify for the federal battery discount, a battery must meet the program's requirements, including a compatible, connected setup. The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water lists the current eligibility rules, and our rebates and incentives guide explains how they fit together.
Works With Your Other Upgrades
Monitoring is most useful when it sees everything. Add an EV charger to watch charging follow your solar, or a heat pump to see hot water heated at midday.
