Sunsynk and Octopus Energy: Making More of Excess Solar

What happens when your solar panels generate more electricity than your home needs?

With battery storage, surplus solar energy can be saved for later rather than having to be used as soon as it is generated. Pair that with the right electricity tariff, and there may also be opportunities to make smarter decisions about when electricity is stored, used or exported to the grid.

In this video, eFIXX takes a closer look at a Sunsynk solar and battery system working alongside Octopus Energy, exploring how homeowners can get more from the electricity their solar panels generate.

At the centre of the system is a Sunsynk hybrid inverter, managing energy between the solar panels, compatible battery storage, the home and the grid. The ability to control when the battery charges and discharges gives users greater flexibility over their stored energy.

The video puts that functionality into practice, looking at how excess solar can be stored and how energy can be exported when used alongside an appropriate Octopus Energy tariff.
