YOUR SAVINGS AND REWARDS
See where the value comes from.
Your value comes in three separate layers: savings from your solar and battery itself, additional savings from Lumo’s Tariff Optimisation, and optional Grid Rewards if you choose to join and your system is eligible.
£1,263
Illustrative annual financial benefit, including optional Grid Rewards
Estimated old bill without solar or battery: £1,112 a year, including standing charges.
GRID REWARDS
More from your battery.
If you choose to join Grid Rewards and your system is eligible, you can earn rewards for making your battery’s flexibility available to Lumo.
The grid needs flexibility.
More renewables means the grid needs better ways to balance supply and demand.
Your battery can help.
A home battery can store, use or export energy at useful times.
Lumo manages the process.
If you join Grid Rewards, Lumo coordinates your battery’s participation, with no manual management.
Designed around your home.
Lumo plans trading around your tariff and respects your battery reserve. Occasional trading instructions may increase imports or reduce exports compared with optimisation alone.
ONGOING MONITORING
