Don't take our word for it

Real numbers. Live from real customers.

This is our actual fleet's net cost per kWh — straight from Grafana, updating live. Negative means the grid is paying them.

Negative values indicate net credit — money paid back to customers.

The product

Two parts, one job: your battery, earning.

GridPilot runs your home. GridPilot AI makes it pay.

The platform

GridPilot

A fully-managed energy platform built on Home Assistant. It runs your solar, battery, EV charging and the rest of your smart home — pool, spa, automations — all in one place. We install it, host it and look after it.

The engine

GridPilot AI

The trading brain. It reads live wholesale prices on Localvolts and Amber Electric and decides, every five minutes, whether to charge, hold or sell — buying low and selling into the spikes.

How it works

Set up once. Earning by day four.

We set it up

Fully installed and configured for you — no DIY, no config files. Matched to your inverter and retailer.

It learns, then trades

GridPilot AI studies your usage for a few days, then trades your battery automatically against live prices.

You earn and save

Track every trade live on your own dashboard. The subscription is built to earn back more than it costs.

The game changer

Then, a few times a year, the grid does this.

Most days GridPilot earns you a steady trickle. But when the grid gets tight, wholesale prices don't nudge — they explode, briefly hitting as much as $21/kWh. GridPilot AI sees it coming and sells everything into the spike. Grab one good event and it can wipe out months of your electricity bill — not just your GridPilot subscription.
