Pilot partnerships

Better energy experiences.
Built together.

Your connection to households.
Our intelligence around their energy.

Let’s explore what we could make possible together — for the people generating, storing and using energy every day.

01 For energy retailers

Bring the electricity plan into everyday life.

A good tariff is only part of the story. Households also need to understand when to use energy, when to store it and how their car fits in.

Explore a household experience that connects your tariff with a practical energy plan — and makes the reasons behind each decision easier to understand.

  • Make complex time windows easier to explain.
  • Connect solar, battery and EV decisions with household priorities.
  • Give customers a clearer way to review their energy use.

What we could explore

From tariff to everyday decisions

  1. 1
    Your tariff

    Rates, time windows and relevant allowances

  2. 2
    The household plan

    Forecasts, equipment and customer preferences

  3. 3
    A clearer experience

    Understand the plan and review what happened

Pilot discussion points
  • Which tariff and customer group would make a useful starting point?
  • How will tariff details, eligibility and changes be kept accurate?
  • Who owns onboarding and support, and what customer outcomes will we evaluate?

Pilot scope would include tariff fit, customer consent, responsibilities and how outcomes are measured.

02 For vpp operators

Put the household at the heart of participation.

A shared energy programme still has to work for the people at home: their battery reserve, tomorrow’s drive and the choices they want to keep.

Explore how household planning and understandable decisions could support a carefully defined VPP experience, with clear boundaries for who controls each device.

  • Bring household preferences into the pilot design.
  • Make participation, reserves and control responsibilities clear.
  • Agree how requested actions and observed outcomes will be reviewed.
Discuss a pilot
What we could explore

Define how the two sides work together

  1. 1
    Household priorities

    Energy needs, reserves and customer choices

  2. 2
    Agreed control boundaries

    Permissions, device ownership and technical fit

  3. 3
    A scoped VPP pilot

    Participation rules and evidence to review together

Pilot discussion points
  • Which equipment and programme requirements should we evaluate?
  • Which system controls the battery, and how would control handover work?
  • How would customer permissions, reserves and exceptions be handled?

VPP integration is a pilot exploration. Compatibility and control handover must be established; VPPiQ Home must not compete with another battery controller.

03 For solar installers

Make handover the start of a better energy experience.

The equipment is installed. Now your customer wants to know how to use it well — through changing prices, seasons and everyday routines.

Explore a clearer journey from installation to household planning, with practical education, suitable settings and an agreed support handover.

  • Help customers understand how their equipment works together.
  • Start a useful conversation about reserves and charging goals.
  • Give households a place to understand the plan after installation.

What we could explore

Beyond the installation day

  1. 1
    Check the fit

    Confirm supported equipment and available controls

  2. 2
    Understand the household

    Tariff, battery priorities and car charging needs

  3. 3
    Make a clear handover

    Customer education and agreed support responsibilities

Pilot discussion points
  • Which installations and supported equipment should we start with?
  • What should customers understand before enabling automation?
  • How will setup, customer questions and ongoing support be shared?

Equipment compatibility and available controls are checked first. The household remains in charge of its permissions and preferences.

Check current compatibility

A useful pilot starts with a useful question

Start small.
Learn something meaningful.

We’ll work through fit, responsibilities and what success would mean before agreeing a pilot. The starting point is a conversation.

  1. 01

    Find the fit

    Choose a household need, a suitable customer group and equipment we can evaluate.

  2. 02

    Define the pilot

    Agree consent, control boundaries, support ownership and a practical scope.

  3. 03

    Review the evidence

    Agree measures upfront. Keep forecast value separate from observed outcomes and bill savings.

Partner with us

Let’s start
a conversation.

Tell us about your organisation, your customers and what you’d like to explore.

A retailer, VPP operator, installer — or another organisation with an idea for better household energy. We’d like to hear from you.

Every pilot starts with a discussion about fit. We’ll agree the scope and responsibilities together.
