Enphase Energy, headquartered in California, has integrated its Enphase Energy System with Octopus Energy’s “Intelligent Octopus Flux” (IO Flux) smart tariff in the UK. This partnership enables homeowners to optimize solar and battery usage, reducing electricity bills and supporting grid stability. Octopus Energy’s Kraken platform manages distributed energy resources (DERs), providing flexible control of Enphase’s IQ8 Microinverters and IQ Battery 5P systems. With IO Flux, users can charge batteries during off-peak hours and export surplus energy during peak times. According to Octopus Energy, over 40% of IO Flux customers profit by exporting more electricity than they consume. Octopus Energy, headquartered in London, serves over nine million households globally, using its Kraken platform to support clean, cost-effective energy solutions through this collaboration.
