SolarMind: company facts & evidence

SolarMind in one paragraph

SolarMind is AI home energy optimisation software developed by Cotswold Cleantech Energy Ltd in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom. It is designed to coordinate compatible solar panels, home batteries and EV charging using electricity tariffs, solar forecasts and household demand. Its vendor-independent approach supports direct or Home Assistant connection routes where compatible. The platform has soft launched and is working with its first household trials.

Capabilities and availability

• Half-hourly planning combines electricity tariffs, solar forecasts and household needs.
• The intended whole-home plan considers EV departure requirements, battery reserves and equipment limits.
• Connections may be direct or through Home Assistant; available commands depend on the exact equipment.
• The current free UK trial is intended for suitable homes with solar, a battery, a smart meter and a dynamic tariff. Trial arrangements are agreed separately.
