Does Voltello work for solar and battery owners?

Does Voltello work for solar and battery owners?

Yes, Voltello is indeed suitable for customers who own both solar panels and batteries. Village Energy has been actively enhancing its Voltello LinkZB and LinkPro products to include battery integration. This feature is currently in a beta phase and has been deployed to a select group of customers who are participating in the 'Amber Solar and Battery' plan.

As part of this initiative, we are closely collaborating with these customers to monitor and refine the automations. Excitingly, we're also in the process of developing new innovations and plan optimisations specifically designed to cater to the needs of solar and battery owners.

A notable achievement in our development is the successful integration with the Fronius hybrid inverter (GEN24 + BYD battery), allowing us to effectively control the connected battery. Additionally, we have demonstrated the capability to receive 5-second messages and transactions with an integrated battery system.

Our current focus is on establishing robust automation logic and enhance the solar and battery plan so we can offer more comprehensive solar and battery control solutions to our customers. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to enhance our offerings in this area.
