What is Social Energy?
Social Energy is a smart energy trading network, supplying energy to UK properties at a price per unit, with an artificial intelligent twist. The Social energy network, unlike the big 6, is reliant on a network of domestic Solar Panel installations and battery storage customers across the UK. What’s more, as Social Energy is reliant on Solar PV (Photovoltaic) and Battery Storage Customers, it only distributes 100% Renewable energy. It is also fully compliant with the National Grid.
How Does Social Energy Work?
Unlike any other energy supplier, the “Social Energy Network” consists of solar panel installations, battery storage systems and an intelligent algorithm. Furthermore, their incredible AI technology lets Solar Panel owners store, trade and swap their generated solar electricity. Therefore, making sure none of it goes to waste.
If you own a Social Energy compatible Solar PV System with a Solar Battery, you will get access to Social Energy’s dynamic grid-trading platform. Through the use of Social Energy’s smart technology, your Solar System will automatically buy and sell your Solar energy with thousands of connected users on the National Grid.
Therefore by simply installing a Social Energy compliant system, you can not only help support the Social energy network by providing Solar Energy, but also earn. Through the use of the Social Energy app, you can track and maximise both your earnings and Solar savings. What’s more, this is all done wirelessly, meaning a permanent internet connection is required.
Grid Trading With Social Energy
With Social Energy, you are able to sell any excess Solar Energy generated. Either to other battery storage owners across the UK or to the National Grid and other homes. This is Grid Sharing. Grid Sharing is a great way to get paid for your excess solar energy, preventing green energy waste. Essentially the National Grid and your Solar batteries connect via a shared software. This software allows them to communicate and share your Solar energy. For this reason only certain Solar Batteries are compatible with the Social Energy Network.
When the National grid is demanding more energy than it is capable of supplying, they will pay Solar Panel owners for their unused generated energy. As a result, your domestic Solar PV Systems will automatically send energy to the grid. Sold only at the best possible prices. As battery storage is the most reliable, fastest transferring energy, with speeds up to a sub second. The Social Energy Network is always the fastest reacting power plant. As a result, making it a win win situation.
The Use Of Artificial Intelligence
But fear not. Social energy will not trade all your solar energy. By using machine learning, your Social Energy system is able to create a customer profile of your energy habits over a 90 day cycle and is able to use this information to know when it’s best to trade your energy. The Solar batteries come installed with a grid monitoring box, that is constantly sending data out to the Social Energy Cloud. This calculates your solar generation 24 hours in advance, factoring in weather forecasts. As a result, this makes it simple for the Social Energy Network to maximise both your earnings and savings.
Despite other factors also coming into play, such as fluctuating energy prices, the Social Energy’s Network is able to automate your trading around such factors. Thanks to Social Energy’s clever AI system, you don’t have to lift a finger, yet your batteries will always know when the best time is to charge and discharge. Making it essentially a self automated stock exchange system!
