BETA Trial Pre-Requisites
- Strong WiFi Connection: Ensuring reliable internet access is crucial for the functionality of your hub:one. During the installation, you will need to access the WIFI using WIF Network Name (SSID) and password.
- 3-Pin Plug Proximity: Please ensure there is a 3-pin plug, 230V (UK) and 2-pin plug, 230V (EU) near your inverter for convenient setup (within 5 meters of your inverter is recommended at this time).
- Photo Requirement: Please provide a photo of your inverter and its proximity to a 3 pin plug. This will assist us in verifying the installation requirements.
- Inverter Specifications: Your inverter should be a Solis hybrid, single-phase model or a Solax X1 hybrid G4. Solax X1 Hybrid G3 and G4 Models. Solis Hybrid grid tied single phase inverters such as the S5, S6 and RHI models
- Web App: Users will access the Hub:One dashboard using a browser, via a web app.".
- Solar Battery Requirement: Battery needs to be a hybrid inverter DC coupled compatible battery. NOT A seperate AC coupled battery such as the Tesla Power wall or PowerVault system.
- Users are on Octopus Agile with an import and export tariff.
- For all install groups prior to July 1st, the users info will be hard coded and WebApp logins will be created for them - they will not go through the user onboarding journey in the WebApp.
- Hub:One occupies the port used by for their Solis app, so, once Swarm is installed, the Solis app will no longer be available to users.
In advance of an installation:
As part of the installation process, you will require the following information to hand:
- Location name ( Name of your property location, i.e. Home Newcastle)
Reasoning:
Initially we need both an import and export tariff as v1 prioritises savings in cost, on both the import and the export tariff.
Not supported:
Any Octopus tariff without an export tariff/MAP - these will be tested next. Octopus non-agile tariff – these will also be tested.
Any Octopus 'Intelligent' tariffs, as these are where Octopus controls the battery directly
