The intelligence layer

The brain between your battery and the electricity market.

SolanIQ isn’t another battery dashboard. It continuously combines four live signals into one plan — then carries it out across your battery, solar and grid connection.

  • Weather forecast

    Cloud cover, temperature and irradiance.

  • Solar generation

    Forecast and live production.

  • Home energy use

    Learned household demand.

  • Electricity prices

    Live and forecast market prices.

How it works

Connect once. SolanIQ takes over from there.

Link your battery and your electricity retailer in a few minutes. From then on, SolanIQ forecasts, plans and acts — around the clock.

01 · Forecast

Know what comes next.

SolanIQ forecasts tomorrow’s solar production from satellite and weather data, and learns when your household uses energy — so your battery never has to guess.

  • Solar forecast refined by your own production history
  • Household load patterns learned over time
  • Price forecasts for the hours ahead

02 · Optimise

Every five minutes, the plan changes with the market.

The optimiser weighs your forecast against live and predicted prices, then decides the most valuable thing your battery can do right now — and for the hours ahead.

03 · Automate

You don’t need to watch it.

SolanIQ executes the plan automatically, while you stay in control of how it behaves.

  • Automate or Suggest. Let SolanIQ act, or just show you its recommendations.
  • Choose a strategy. Conservative, Balanced or Aggressive cycling.
  • Solar control too. Curtails Enphase solar when feed-in prices go negative.
  • No extra hardware. No Home Assistant, no local server.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can’t find what you need? Email info@solaniq.ai or read the user guide.

Which batteries and electricity plans does SolanIQ support?

SolanIQ currently supports ESY Sunhome batteries on Amber Electric and GloBird’s ZeroHero plan, anywhere in Australia, plus solar curtailment on Enphase systems. Support for more batteries, inverters and wholesale retailers such as LocalVolts is on the way.

Does Amber SmartShift support the ESY Sunhome battery?

No. Amber’s SmartShift doesn’t currently support the ESY Sunhome battery. SolanIQ fills exactly that gap: it connects to your ESY Sunhome and your Amber account and automates charging, discharging and exporting against Amber’s 5-minute wholesale prices.

Do I need Home Assistant or any extra hardware?

No. SolanIQ is a hosted cloud service that connects directly to your ESY Sunhome battery and your electricity retailer. There’s no Home Assistant, local server or custom hardware to set up.

Can I stay in control of what the battery does?

Yes. In Automate mode SolanIQ executes its plan for you; in Suggest mode it shows recommendations without acting on them. You can also choose a Conservative, Balanced or Aggressive strategy to set how hard the battery cycles.

How much does SolanIQ cost?

SolanIQ is $10 a month including GST, and you can cancel anytime. New customers get their first 30 days free — enter the code FREETRIAL when you register.

Is there a mobile app?

Yes. The SolanIQ app for iOS and Android shows your live solar, battery and grid power flows, battery state of charge and the optimiser’s plan, and sends push notifications.

Can SolanIQ control my solar?

Yes. SolanIQ can automatically curtail your solar when exporting doesn’t pay — for example when feed-in prices go negative — so you never pay to export. Solar curtailment works with Enphase systems today, with more inverter brands coming.

Does SolanIQ control my EV charger, hot water or pool pump?

Not yet. Smart EV charging for OCPP-compatible chargers is on the horizon, so your car can charge from surplus solar and cheap price windows. Hot water and pool pumps aren’t currently controlled.

Where is my data stored?

SolanIQ runs on Australian-hosted infrastructure, and payments are handled securely by Stripe.
