Optimise your self-sufficiency
Which combination makes most sense for you?
The first step on the solar journey is to unlock your solar and battery simulation. This gives you a daily, weekly and monthly view of what solar could do for you.
After 90 days, the Solar Playground takes this further – at the push of a button you can see how self sufficient you would be with different sized solar arrays and home battery combinations.
Our Data Science team have put together an article that takes a closer look into how we generate our solar-battery simulation in the app. From how we calculate the amount of solar energy generated, to how we predict the interaction of your virtual solar panels and battery. Dive into the details of our latest app feature.
The Loop blog has loads of great articles about solar energy generally – from how the panels work to understanding how the new Smart Export Guarantee tariffs pay you for any surplus energy you export back to the grid.
The economics of solar
Having solar installed is a big step. Or is it? It’s probably cheaper and easier than you think, and with current energy prices, the payback period is likely to be shorter than you were expecting.
Solar gone crazy: the price cap effect
As energy prices rise, more households have been considering the big changes that can help make a dent in their growing bill.
Is solar right for me?
Solar power can work for more types of homes and lifestyles than people might imagine.
