No manual entering of entity IDs. The setup wizard auto-discovers your inverter, price source, and solar forecast from Home Assistant — just confirm and go.\n\n![Setup Wizard](./assets/wizard.png)\n\n### See Exactly Where Your Money Goes\n\nChargeIQ tracks every kWh and every cent. Compare three scenarios side by side — what you'd pay with **grid only**, with **solar only**, and with **solar + optimized battery** — so you can see exactly how much value the battery adds.\n\n![Scenario Comparison](./assets/scenario-analysis.png)\n\n### Predictions You Can Trust\n\nSee how accurate the forecasts are — solar, consumption, and savings — with predicted-vs-actual comparisons so you know it's working, not guessing.\n\n![Insights](./assets/insights.png)\n\n### Ask Your Battery Why\n\nSomething look off? The built-in AI Analyst explains every decision in plain language. Ask \"why did the battery charge at 3am?\" or \"why are today's savings lower than yesterday?\" and get a real answer backed by actual system data.\n\n\u003cimg src=\"./assets/bess-analyst.png\" width=\"400\" alt=\"AI Analyst\"\u003e\n\n---\n\n## Features\n\n| | |\n|---|---|\n| **Optimization** | Dynamic programming finds the mathematically optimal schedule — not a simulation, not a heuristic |\n| **Resolution** | 15-minute granularity (Nordpool) or 30-minute (Octopus) |\n| **Solar aware** | Integrates solar forecast to maximize self-consumption |\n| **Battery protection** | Models cycle degradation cost — won't chase marginal gains that wear out your battery |\n| **Fuse protection** | Monitors grid current and limits charging to prevent overloading your main fuse |\n| **EV aware** | Automatically pauses battery discharge when your EV is charging |\n| **Re-optimization** | Continuously updates as prices, solar, and consumption data change |\n| **AI Analyst** | Chat with your battery system — ask questions, get explanations |\n\n## Supported Hardware \u0026 Markets\n\n### Inverters\n- **Growatt MIC/MIN/MOD/MID** — via Growatt Server (cloud) or Modbus (local)\n- **Growatt SPH** — via Growatt Server(cloud) or Modbus (local)\n- **SolaX** — via Solax modbus integration\n\n### Electricity Markets\n- **Nordpool** — Nordic spot market (SE, NO, FI, DK, EE, LT, LV)\n- **Octopus Energy Agile** — UK market with separate import/export rates\n\n### Optional Integrations\n- **Solcast** or other solar forecast for production predictions\n- **InfluxDB** for historical data persistence\n- **Tibber** for power monitoring\n\n\u003e **Want support for your inverter?** We're actively looking for testers with GivEnergy, Solis, Huawei, and other systems.
