What if my battery isn't compatible?

If you have a battery that isn't compatible , head to our feature request page and vote for, or add a request, for your battery brand's compatibility.

If you're using the Solar for Amber plan, your battery will still charge during curtailment, you just won't control it directly from the Voltello app or automations. When the Voltello link device activates export control (when we limit exports) we maintain a small level of exports (0.05 kW) to ensure the battery sees surplus solar and charges. As the charging rate increases, we also increase the solar production to meet the needs of the battery while never exporting more than 0.05 kW.
Solar for Amber users can set this to a custom amount in the Plan Preferences: What are the Advanced Options in Solar for Amber?
