Problem
UK homeowners face rising electricity bills because time‑of‑use tariffs charge high rates during peak periods, and affordable residential battery storage solutions are scarce. Without a way to shift consumption to cheaper off‑peak hours, households cannot reduce costs or contribute to grid stability.
Solution
EquiVolt delivers a turnkey smart battery storage system that pairs a 3.68 kW hybrid inverter with modular LiFePO₄ battery packs and a cloud‑based EquiVolt+ monitoring platform. The system automatically charges from the grid when off‑peak rates are lowest and discharges during peak periods, maximizing bill savings without requiring manual intervention. Integrated algorithms optimise charge cycles for efficiency (exceeding 85 %) and extend battery life, while the G98‑compliant installation process completes in under eight hours with minimal disruption. Customers retain full ownership of the hardware and can optionally join the EquiVolt network to earn revenue from ancillary grid‑balancing services. A price‑promise guarantee and optional subscription‑based analytics ensure transparent value and ongoing performance monitoring.
Target Audience
The primary market is UK residential homeowners with a single‑phase 230 V supply and a smart meter, seeking to lower electricity costs and improve grid resilience.
