Optimize
Use the sun when it shines and the battery when the grid is expensive.
Solar & Storage builds a day-ahead plan for every site with rooftop solar, open-access power, batteries or DG sets. It weighs tariff bands, demand limits, battery health and the solar forecast, then tells you when to charge, when to discharge and which loads to shift into the solar window.

What Solar & Storage does on a working day.
Solar forecast
Site-specific generation forecast from irradiance and cloud data, corrected daily against what your inverters actually produced.
Battery dispatch
Charge in cheap hours, discharge into the peak band or a demand spike, while respecting depth-of-discharge and cycle limits that protect the warranty.
Load shifting
Flexible loads such as water pumping, pre-cooling or batch processes are suggested into the solar window.
DG minimisation
During grid outages, battery and solar are used first so the diesel set runs as little as possible.
Tariff aware
Time-of-day bands, demand charges and export rates are modelled per site, so the plan saves money, not just kilowatt-hours.
Inverter health
Underperforming strings and soiled panels show up as a gap between forecast and actual output.
How it goes live at your site.
- 1
Connect assets
Inverters, battery management system and DG controllers are read through the same gateway as your meters.
- 2
Load tariffs
We model your tariff schedule, demand charges and any open-access contracts.
- 3
Plan the day
A 24-hour plan is published each evening and refreshed through the day as conditions change.
- 4
Dispatch
Follow the plan manually, or let Ionvik send setpoints to the battery within limits you set.
About Solar & Storage
Yes. Without a battery the value comes from shifting flexible loads into the solar window and spotting underperforming strings.
Only if you enable dispatch. Otherwise it publishes the schedule and your team or the battery vendor follows it.
Yes. You set depth-of-discharge, maximum cycles per day and temperature limits, and the plan never exceeds them.
Yes. If outages are common, the plan keeps a reserve in the battery during the hours they usually occur.
