With smart inverters, intelligent monitoring apps, and seamless integration into your daily life, today’s solar systems offer more than clean energy; they give you data, control, and optimisation at your fingertips.
Real-Time Energy Monitoring: Geek Out on the Numbers
Modern solar energy systems aren’t just about panels on your roof - they're part of a smart ecosystem. With integrated mobile apps, you can monitor:
- How much energy your panels are generating in real time
- How much power you're using
- The charge level of your battery storage
- Whether you’re importing or exporting electricity to the grid
This level of insight turns solar energy from a passive power source into an interactive experience. And it’s not just fun - it’s effective! A study published in Renewable Energy found that real-time monitoring improved solar efficiency by 15%, simply by helping users better understand and tweak their energy usage habits.

Smart Automation: Optimise Everything
Tech fans know the joy of an automated routine. With smart solar systems, your home can respond automatically to the way you use energy.
Want your battery to charge when electricity rates are low? Easy. Prefer to run the washing machine when your panels are generating the most power? Done.
Some systems even integrate with smart home devices like Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit, so you can automate and voice-control your energy use like a pro.
Battery Storage + Apps = The Ultimate Control
Pair your panels with a home battery, and you unlock even more optimisation potential.
With a smart energy app, you can:
- See how full your battery is at any given moment
- Choose whether to store or export excess solar power
- Optimise for self-consumption or savings depending on the time of day
It’s like having a power station in your pocket, and it works in harmony with your lifestyle.
Our Favourite Feature: Pre-Warming the Car
Magnus, Managing Director here at Natural Generation, is a proud tech nerd and a big fan of using solar to enhance everyday comfort. One of his favourite tricks? Using his EV app to pre-heat the cabin of his car before he gets in - powered by solar energy stored in his home battery.
No more freezing cold mornings. Just a cosy, climate-controlled ride, every time.
Never Miss a Beat with Maintenance Alerts
Solar tech doesn’t just let you monitor energy; it also keeps an eye on itself.
The best apps send notifications if there’s an issue with your panels, inverter, or battery. That means:
- You stay ahead of maintenance
