What is a “prosumer”? If you were a consumer, Enerchy can turn you into a prosumer.

A consumer buys electricity. They’re a passive recipient. A prosumer is an active agent in generating and distributing electricity. They may have solar panels on their roof, batteries and an electric vehicle in their garage, and a smart geyser controller. With the tools to work these assets intelligently, a prosumer has choices and can be an active agent in the energy economy.

You bought the system. You should get the most out of it and decide how it pays you back. Most installations are set up for security, with payback as a secondary thought, and that leaves money on the table every day. The Returns Booster takes you through three stages and you can take them at your own pace:

‍
LEARN: Connect your system to our free dashboard and see what it's actually doing. Where your solar goes. How your battery is used. When you pull from the grid and what that costs. What could be different. This will enable you to see what you could be saving or earning if you join in.

SAVE: Switch on dynamic optimisation. Responding to changing weather and tariffs, we adjust your system settings through the day to capture more solar, shift smart loads and EV charging to the cheapest hours, keeping battery in reserve for grid outages. Your savings show up month after month.

EARN: Join a virtual power plant. We arrange payment for supporting the grid or selling excess power to the best buyer. For example, on evenings when the local grid is under pressure, we dispatch a small slice of your spare battery capacity or shift your geyser schedule, and you get paid for it. You always set the rules on how much of your battery can be used, when you need hot water and when your EV must be charged.

A note for battery-only owners. If you bought batteries without solar, your investment only pays back when load shedding strikes, and with a stable grid, that's rare. Enerchy changes the maths. By joining the VPP, your batteries earn when the VPP earns. For example, on normal evenings, by helping shave the peaks the local network struggles with, you're putting the capacity you paid for to work.
