Get paid to help the grid

When the grid needs power, it pays handsomely for an hour of your battery. Suntide drives the export for the window, restores your normal settings the moment it ends, and marks what you earned from what your inverter measured, a day later.

You choose the level of trust: automatic, or a push notification that runs nothing until you arm it. Either way Suntide refuses events that would lose you money, and shows the arithmetic when it declines. On tariffs with negative price hours, it charges your battery while you're being paid to take the power.
