Get more out of your solar panels and battery with a Flex Tariff. Save more, automate your energy use, and benefit from real-time market prices with FlexiO.
What do you need to get started with a Flex Tariff?
You already have solar panels and a home battery. And you want to get even more out of your installation?
Then a Flex Tariff is exactly what you're looking for.
With this dynamic energy tariff, developed in collaboration with energy suppliers, you can save even more on your energy bill. What's more, you can use your installation more intelligently, automatically and in line with real-time market prices. Would you like to know more about the Flex Tariff itself? Read more here.
Are you already a FlexiO user? Then you can switch on the energy supplier's website. You can find out which energy suppliers are participating here.
But what exactly do you need to get started?
1. A digital meter
The Flex Tariff works on the basis of hourly rates and real-time control.
A digital meter is therefore crucial. It measures how much electricity you consume or inject every 15 minutes.
Good news: most households in Flanders already have such a meter. Don't have one yet? Request one free of charge via Fluvius.
2. A home battery
To really benefit from the Flex Tariff, a flexible installation is important.
Do you have a home battery or a hybrid inverter that can be controlled? Then you're all set.
Why? Because the system only really pays off when it can shift energy over time: charging when it's cheap, discharging when it pays off.
So you need at least one of these installations:
- Home battery (compatible with FlexiO)
- Hybrid inverter (with curtailment support)
Your installer can check whether your existing systems are compatible, or you can check for yourself on our compatibility list.
3. A FlexiObox from LIFEPOWR
The FlexiObox is the smart link between your installation, the energy supplier, and the electricity grid.
This smart EMS+ ensures that your installation is automatically controlled according to:
- solar production
- consumption profile
- real-time market signals
You don't have to do anything yourself; FlexiO thinks and controls for you. You can have the FlexiObox installed by a certified LIFEPOWR partner or your installer.
4. A Flex Tariff
To take advantage of the tariff, you must switch to an energy supplier that participates in eBalancing, the smart market control on which the system is based.
Today, Trevion is one such partner. Other suppliers will follow soon.
