“In the past, solar feed-in tariffs were the best option for homeowners to take charge of their electricity costs. Now we’re seeing many different revenue and cost saving options emerging for households with solar and battery systems.
“However, realising this value relies on those systems having the smarts to read market conditions, predict a household or businesses’ energy requirements and take the best course of action to add value in line with real-time market conditions. SwitchDin provides the smarts and our Accredited Installers help homes unlock this opportunity.”
