Already have solar panels and a home battery? Intelligent Octopus Flux takes things further by automating when you charge, store, and export electricity — so you save more and can even earn money.
How It Works:
- Smart imports: Your battery charges when energy is cheapest and greenest.
- Peak exports: The system automatically discharges and exports energy to the grid during the evening peak (typically 4–7pm), when prices are highest.
- Simplified control: Octopus manages timings for you, so you don’t need to juggle schedules.
Real-World Example:
On cloudy days, your battery can still charge overnight at low rates, then export during the evening peak for maximum return. Octopus says some households could even make up to £300 a year profit.
Who It’s Best For:
- Homes with solar panels + a compatible battery.
- Families wanting automation rather than manual scheduling.
- People keen to earn from exporting energy, not just save on bills.
Why It’s a Game Changer:
By combining smart charging, storage, and exporting, Intelligent Flux turns your home into a mini power station — saving you money and supporting a greener grid at the same time.
