Your solar, battery and EV charging. One intelligent energy plan.

SolarMind in 62 seconds

A plan that sees
the whole home.

SolarMind brings together electricity prices, solar forecasts and your household’s energy needs. Its AI helps plan when to use solar, store energy, charge your EV or export to the grid.

48 half-hourly slots

Plan across the day as electricity prices and solar generation change, making better use of lower-cost periods and your own solar.

One connected system

Coordinate compatible solar, batteries and EV charging together, so each device works towards the same household plan.

Built around your day

Your EV departure time, chosen battery reserve and equipment limits guide the plan as conditions change.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Frequently asked questions

What is SolarMind?

SolarMind is AI home energy optimisation software from Cotswold Cleantech Energy Ltd. It is designed to coordinate solar panels, home battery storage and EV charging around electricity tariffs, solar forecasts and household demand.

Who is SolarMind for?

The current free UK household trial is aimed at homes with rooftop solar, battery storage, a smart meter and a dynamic electricity tariff. Each setup is checked before onboarding. An EV is optional.

Does SolarMind work without Home Assistant?

Yes, compatible equipment can connect directly. Home Assistant is another connection route. The available route and controls depend on your inverter, battery, charger and the access offered by their manufacturer.

Which inverter, battery and EV brands are supported?

Compatibility is confirmed for the exact model and connection before onboarding. Logos shown on this site are not a promise that every product from that brand is supported. Tell us your equipment models and tariff in the trial form so we can check.

Can SolarMind work with Octopus Agile?

Octopus Agile is a focus for SolarMind’s half-hourly energy planning. SolarMind brings prices together with solar forecasts and your home’s needs. Device controls and tariff compatibility are confirmed for each household before the trial starts.

What do the 48 slots mean?

A standard 24-hour day contains 48 half-hour periods. SolarMind uses half-hourly planning to consider when to use, store, charge or export energy. It is an operating interval, not proof of higher savings than another system.

How does SolarMind include EV charging?

The whole-home plan is designed to take account of your EV departure time alongside solar generation and battery needs. Available EV controls depend on charger or vehicle compatibility, which is checked during onboarding.

Is SolarMind free to use?

We currently offer a free UK household trial, subject to compatibility and availability. The trial’s duration, service conditions and any arrangements after the trial are agreed during onboarding. This is not a promise of a permanently free service.

Will joining the trial form activate device control?

No. The form is an enquiry about your home. Submitting it does not automatically connect equipment or activate control. Connection options, permissions and trial arrangements are agreed separately.

How much will SolarMind save me?

There is no guaranteed saving. Results depend on your equipment, tariff, weather and energy use. The homepage preview is illustrative, and this website does not yet publish a verified household case study or a like-for-like performance comparison with another optimiser.

Can I run SolarMind alongside another battery optimiser?

Tell us about any existing supplier or manufacturer automation before onboarding. Two services issuing battery commands can conflict. Responsibility for device control needs to be agreed for your setup.

How is household data handled?

The website privacy notice explains website enquiries. Ask for the service privacy information before connecting an inverter or sharing household energy data, including what is collected, who can access it and how to disconnect. Do not send passwords or API keys through the public trial enquiry form.
