Tigo Energy Rolls Dynamic Rate Management Into Residential Solar + Storage Product - CleanTechnica

Tigo Energy has introduced a new Dynamic Rate Management feature integrated into its residential solar and energy storage product, initially available in Germany, the UK, and the Netherlands. This software update enables the Tigo Energy Intelligence (EI) system to automatically interpret wholesale dynamic electricity prices—often updated day-ahead—and optimize the use of solar panels, batteries, and grid power accordingly. The system leverages machine learning to create personalized 24-hour energy plans that highlight peak and off-peak hours, allowing users to customize behaviors such as charging batteries during low-cost periods and discharging during high-price windows without needing additional hardware or configuration. The Dynamic Rate Management aims to maximize cost savings and energy efficiency by responding intelligently to fluctuating electricity rates. Early tests have shown promising results, with households using dynamic electricity contracts and consumption optimization saving up to 34% on electricity costs compared to average wholesale prices (excluding fees and taxes). Users can monitor and adjust their energy usage through the Tigo Energy Intelligence app, which provides detailed
