Do I have to change my electricity supplier?
You need a contract indexed to the spot market (PZU). If your supplier offers one — E.ON and PPC Energy do — you stay with them and only change the offer. We don't sell electricity and don't broker contracts; our job ends at your battery.
What do I actually gain?
It depends on your battery, your household's consumption and that year's prices, and we don't want to promise you figures from simulations. That's why the chart at the top is real, day by day, bad days included. If you want a number for your house, ask for a simulation on your data.
Which inverters and batteries work?
Verified on real hardware: Fronius Gen24 / Symo Hybrid and Solis hybrids. Planned: Huawei and SolaX. The battery matters less — currentIQ talks to the inverter, which manages its own battery. If you have something else, tell us in the form.
Does it need the internet?
Yes, once a day, for prices and the solar forecast. If the internet drops, the day's plan continues locally. If something fails outright, the inverter falls back to its normal self-consumption mode on its own — it is never left stuck in a command.
Does it wear out my battery?
It respects the inverter's limits (minimum state of charge, maximum power) on every command. Extra grid cycles carry a wear cost the plan pays explicitly — it doesn't cycle the battery for pennies. And you choose how much arbitrage you want, from “none” to “full”, with a single slider.
Where does my data go?
It stays in your home; you see everything on a local dashboard, from your phone or laptop. Only diagnostics leave (status, errors, version), so we can help when something's off. We don't sell or share data.
How is it installed?
A small box plugs into your home network with a cable, finds the inverter by itself and walks you through setup. For the first customers we come on site ourselves and keep an eye on the system in the first weeks.
Does it affect my inverter's warranty?
currentIQ uses the manufacturer's documented control interface (Modbus), the same one installers and commercial energy-management systems use. We don't modify hardware or firmware and we don't open anything.
What does it cost?
We're setting the price together with the first customers — a box and a small subscription, stated clearly before any commitment. Joining the list commits you to nothing.
