Improve energy efficiency and reduce energy bills

Don’t give your free and green excess solar generation back to the electricity grid! Store your electricity through the day, and use it during the evening, especially during expensive peak periods.

Don’t have solar? Make the most of cheaper overnight electricity rates by charging your libbi, and utilize this stored energy during peak periods, putting money back in your pocket!

If you’re on a plan that rewards you for exporting to the grid, you can now use the energy you’ve stashed in your Libbi. This energy might be from your solar panels, or if you don’t have solar, those times when electricity was cheaper.

You have ultimate control of what you want libbi to do and when you want to do it! Set priorities in the myenergi app, to control the libbi to charge and drain to suit your needs.

Want to save some space for solar? If you’ve chosen to let your libbi charge from the grid, you can now pick how much capacity to use. This way you can make space for any solar you expect to get tomorrow! 

Optional blackout backup, to maintain power to a dedicated circuit in the event of a power cut.

You have ultimate control over how the stored energy is used, by prioritising devices within the myenergi app, libbi won’t drain when an EV is plugged in unless you tell it to.

If you have a time of use tariff from your electricity provider, libbi will optimise charging around cheaper periods and will store it for you to use during more expensive peak times

If you’d like to add solar in the future, you can do so at any time, without needing to purchase a separate solar inverter, as the libbi system includes one.

Absolutely! Libbi has been developed to work in harmony with our existing products, connecting your home battery storage to our energy eco-system.
Using the intuitive preferences in our mobile app, you can control when libbi will drain to your zappi, eddi and home, enabling you to make decisions on how you want to use your stored electricity.

Time of Use tariffs (ToU) are available from some electricity suppliers. On these types of tariff, you can benefit from cheaper prices at certain times of the day. These times are usually off-peak, when there is less demand on the electricity grid.

Yes! Customers who are on an agile tariff, for example Intelligent Octopus, can optimise their libbi charging around cheaper price periods

Libbi offers customers the option to charge solely from Solar PV, or from Solar and the electricity grid combined, meaning you can make the most of self-generated electricity, whilst also charging using cheaper off-peak tariff prices.

The average home battery storage install is typically less than 1 day . If you’re having a battery installed with a solar array, this can take longer (typically up to 2 days), depending on the complexity of the work required – for example, this timescale doesn’t include erecting scaffolding for a new solar array.

The libbi home battery storage system and inverter can be installed both indoors and outdoors, however the libbi controller must be installed indoors.

When installing indoors, there needs to be sufficient space around the system to allow for air flow, and it can’t usually be installed in loft spaces (due to the weight) or blocking an entry or exit route

Our certified installation partners will walk you through the best location for your libbi during their initial survey.

The libbi system is modular by design. With this, you can create a home battery storage system between 5kWh (1 battery), up to 20kWh (4 batteries).

The size of the libbi system best suited for your home will be worked out by one of our certified installation partners.

This calculation is based on the size and electricity requirements of your home, plus your existing solar panel system size. A typical UK household uses between 8kWh and 10kWh of electricity per day, on average.

Using these factors our installers can ensure you have enough capacity in your libbi to store excess solar electricity you have generated, or your cheaper electricity grid energy.

Yes! libbi surplus electricity generation from independent wind turbines installed in the home. When detecting surplus electricity, libbi will ensure that this is either stored for future use, or used to power your other devices, such as zappi and eddi (based on your charging preferences).

Yes, libbi can be installed on 1 phase of your 3 phase supply; with the potential to install up to 3 (1 on each phase Alternatively, we will be launching a 3 phase version in due course, so watch this space!

Those who are receiving feed-in-tariff payments for the electricity they generate with solar PV will need to inform their FiT licensee. In most cases, the licensee is the electricity supplier who has been contracted to supply electricity to your home. A qualified myenergi installer will provide guidance on how to do this.

The libbi home battery storage system can be installed with optional “blackout back-up”.

This means that in the event of a power outage, libbi will provide the electricity it’s stored to a dedicated circuit or socket that’s connected to the libbi back-up output.
