Unlocking Savings and Sustainability with SolarEdge’s Kraken Integration
CalTech Energy is a leading provider of SolarEdge batteries, we are thrilled to share a groundbreaking update that could significantly benefit both our existing and prospective customers. SolarEdge has announced a collaboration with Kraken, Octopus Energy‘s innovative technology platform, which promises to enhance energy efficiency and reduce costs for homeowners using SolarEdge storage solutions. This blog post will explain how this new integration works and the benefits it offers in simple terms, helping you understand how you can save more money and why now is a great time to invest in a SolarEdge battery.
How Kraken Integration Works and Benefits You
1. Optimized Energy Usage with Smart Technology: Kraken is a cutting-edge technology platform that uses advanced data analytics and machine learning to manage your energy use more efficiently. By integrating Kraken with your SolarEdge battery, the system can predict when electricity will be cheapest and greenest, then store energy accordingly. This means your battery will charge during periods of low demand when electricity is cheaper and discharge during peak times, reducing your electricity bills and increasing your reliance on renewable energy (Octopus Energy) (SolarReviews).
2. Real-Time Energy Management: The integration allows for real-time adjustments to your energy usage based on current grid demand and supply. For example, Kraken can automatically adjust your battery’s charging and discharging to take advantage of dynamic tariffs like Octopus Energy’s Agile tariff, which offers lower prices during off-peak times. This means you get the best rates without having to constantly monitor and adjust your energy usage yourself (Octopus Energy).
3. Enhanced Battery Performance: SolarEdge batteries are already known for their high efficiency and robust performance. With a continuous power output of 5 kW, these batteries can easily handle essential household loads during power outages. The collaboration with Kraken will further enhance these capabilities by ensuring your battery charges and discharges in the most economical way possible, thus extending the lifespan of your battery and maximising your savings (SolarReviews).
4. Long-Term Reliability: SolarEdge offers a solid warranty on their batteries, guaranteeing at least 70% capacity retention over 10 years with unlimited cycles. This ensures that your investment in solar storage remains beneficial for a long time, providing peace of mind and long-term savings. The integration with Kraken enhances this by optimizing the battery’s use, ensuring you get the most out of every charge (SolarReviews).
5. Support for Renewable Energy Transition: By using SolarEdge batteries in conjunction with Kraken’s platform, you contribute to a greener future. The smart technology not only saves money but also supports the transition to a renewable energy system, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and minimizing your carbon footprint. This is particularly beneficial for those looking to make their homes more eco-friendly and sustainable (Octopus Energy) (SolarEdge).
When to Expect the Kraken Integration
SolarEdge and Kraken’s integration is set to roll out first to customers in the UK and the US. The benefits of this integration are expected to expand globally as SolarEdge continues to enhance its smart energy solutions. While specific dates are yet to be confirmed, early indications suggest that the rollout will begin shortly, ensuring customers can start reaping the benefits within this year (Octopus Energy).
