Loop Optimise uses a combination of energy cost forecasts, solar generation data, household consumption patterns, and other relevant information to determine the best way to utilise your battery. The goal is to maximise your earnings.
This process is continuous and adaptive, meaning Loop Optimise makes decisions throughout the day. If the weather or other conditions change unexpectedly, our system adjusts its strategy. Loop Optimise is always working to stay on top of these decisions, ensuring you get the most benefit from your battery.
We're continously improving Loop Optimise. Once you're onboarded, we'll contact you for brief feedback every few weeks - nothing time-consuming, don't worry!
This feedback is essential for us to understand your experience with Loop Optimise and make any necessary adjustments. Your input will directly contribute to refining the system and ensuring it meets your needs effectively.
Savings will vary by system specification, usage and tariff. Average Loop Optimise savings are £360 per year for households on Octopus Flux.
Working out the best way to manage your battery can be complex and time-consuming. With so many variables and fluctuations, managing a home battery efficiently often requires as much effort as a full-time job, especially on some tariffs!
Loop Optimise simplifies this process by doing all the calculations for you and automatically instructing your battery on the best actions to take. This means you don't have to spend time manually adjusting your battery settings. Loop Optimise handles everything seamlessly, ensuring your battery is always used in the most efficient way possible, maximising your savings without you having to lift a finger.
If you are on Intelligent Octopus Flux, you won’t be able to sign up to Loop Optimise. This is because Octopus are already optimising your battery and it’s important that only one optimisation is running on your battery at any time.
For our current list of supported manufacturers, typically you don’t need to inform them. However, we will handle this process on your behalf with your permission.
If there are any changes to this arrangement, we will promptly inform you.
Loop Optimise typically cycles the battery at most once a day. This is within the warranty of most home batteries.
Battery health is a complex matter with numerous factors to consider. One commonly known factor is the number of cycles a battery undergoes daily. However, this is just one aspect among many that contribute to understanding overall battery health. While monitoring battery health may not be part of the beta trial currently, we are actively exploring optimal methods to monitor and enhance battery longevity.
For instance, strategies such as lowering the average daily State of Charge (SOC) or adjusting cycle counts during cold winter days to prevent battery temperature from dropping too low are being considered. These approaches aim to promote better battery health over time. As we continue to develop Loop Optimise, we're focused on implementing practices that support the longevity of your battery.
Figuring out the savings from solar and battery investments can be tricky, especially with changing energy markets. Initially, when you install solar panels and a home battery, you're given an estimate of how long it will take to recover your costs. However, this can vary due to market fluctuations.
To understand how much Loop Optimise is saving you, we compare your actual import and export costs using the system to what they would be without it. This comparison uses your real energy consumption and solar generation data, giving you a clear idea of the financial benefits.
