Born from a personal need for smarter solar

The idea for Virtual Solar Battery sparked right here in my own Auckland home. As an electrical engineer, I wanted to truly maximise the cost savings from my grid-tied solar system, but I simply didn't want the hassle or expense of traditional batteries. I realised there had to be a smarter way – a way to 'build something' that offered similar benefits by cleverly utilising what homes already have.

Cleverly using what you already have

The system's genius lies in its simplicity and efficiency. Instead of adding expensive new hardware, we turn your existing home appliances – like your hot water cylinder and even fridges – into effective energy storage units. It's incredibly simple, uses what you already have, and allows you to maximise your solar self-consumption, just like a battery, but without the upfront cost and complexity.

Experience the joy of lower power bills

After installing Virtual Solar Battery, the biggest positive change we want you to experience is a significantly lower power bill. Imagine the satisfaction of knowing you're efficiently using your own solar power, reducing your reliance on the grid, and saving money every month. It's about empowering you with control over your energy costs and making your solar investment truly pay off.
