Ever wondered what it would feel like if your home didn’t just use energy – but actually managed it? That’s the magic of solar battery storage, and it’s changing the way we think about power. 

It’s not just about consuming clean energy, it’s about making energy smarter, more efficient, and tailored to your lifestyle. And when you combine battery storage with intelligent technology, the possibilities become even more exciting.   

Why solar battery matters

Solar panels are brilliant for generating clean energy, but what happens when the sun calls it a day? Without storage, any extra energy you produce often heads back to the grid, and you’re still leaning on traditional supply during peak times. Solar battery storage flips that script. It stores your surplus energy for when you need it most – evenings, cloudy spells, or even when prices spike. 

The payoff? Lower energy bills, more grid independence, and a smaller carbon footprint. 

Meet Utilita Optimise

Solar battery storage is great on its own, but pair it with smart tech and you’ve got something special. That’s where Utilita Optimise comes in – our AI-powered energy management platform that makes sure your battery works harder for you, while also keeping an eye on whether you’re on the right tariff. Here’s what it does: 

  • Fully Automated Savings: Optimise studies your energy use, your tariff, the grid, and even the weather to make smart decisions – up to 48 tweaks a day – so your battery charges when prices are low and sells excess energy when demand is high. It’s a win-win. 
  • Solar Maximisation: Every ray of sunshine counts. Utilita Optimise makes sure your battery uses as much solar energy as possible. 
  • Real-Time Insight: See how your solar battery is being optimised day-to-day, with clear visibility of charging, discharging and performance – so you always know your system is working efficiently behind the scenes. 
  • Peace of Mind: No need to lift a finger. Utilita Optimise runs quietly in the background, making real-time decisions that save you money and cut waste. 

The sun alone gives you power, but Utilita Optimise gives you control. It turns your solar battery storage into a smart energy hub, helping you squeeze every drop of value from your solar investment while reducing your reliance on the grid. More savings, more efficiency, and more freedom! 

The bigger picture

Solar battery storage isn’t just about trimming your bills – it’s about creating homes that play an active role in the energy system. With Utilita Optimise, you’re not just storing power; you’re unlocking flexibility, resilience, and sustainable living.
