Myenergi: The Smart, Integrated Green Solution for Families

For many families, the journey towards a greener lifestyle can feel overwhelming. Do you start with solar? A home battery? An EV charger? Or maybe a way to cut down on heating costs? With Myenergi, you don’t have to choose. Their smart, integrated range of solutions – including zappi glo, libbi, eddi, and harvi – offers a one-stop shop for families who want to save money, reduce carbon emissions, and take control of their energy future.

An Integrated Ecosystem Designed for Families

What makes Myenergi stand out is the way all its products work together seamlessly. Instead of juggling different systems, you can build a connected green energy ecosystem at your own pace:

  • zappi glo – The latest generation of Myenergi’s EV charger. More than just a plug, it allows you to charge your electric vehicle using renewable energy from your solar panels or wind turbine, as well as grid electricity. With stylish design and advanced smart charging modes, zappi glo makes EV ownership practical and eco-friendly.

  • eddi – A power diverter that sends surplus renewable energy into your hot water tank or heating system. Instead of exporting unused energy to the grid, you use it in your own home – reducing bills and boosting self-sufficiency.

  • libbi – Myenergi’s smart home battery. Store your renewable energy for when you need it most, helping to balance day and night usage while protecting your home from rising energy costs.

  • harvi – A clever wireless energy sensor that monitors your generation and usage. It communicates with your other Myenergi devices without the need for extra cabling, keeping installation simple and your home uncluttered.

Together, these products create a flexible, future-proof solution that grows with your family’s needs.

Control Everything from the Myenergi App

At the heart of the Myenergi ecosystem is the Myenergi app. With a single tap, you can:

  • Track energy generation, storage, and usage in real time.

  • Control when your EV charges, your water heats, or your battery discharges.

  • Set schedules and optimise for savings, convenience, or sustainability.

  • Manage your entire green home system – all from your smartphone.

This smart technology means your family doesn’t just go green – you go smart green.

Myenergi FAQs

Do I need solar panels to use zappi glo?

No – zappi glo can charge your car directly from the grid, but it really shines when connected to solar or wind generation, allowing you to power your EV with clean, free energy.

Can eddi work without libbi?

Yes – eddi can operate on its own, diverting excess solar or wind energy into your hot water system. However, when combined with libbi, you can store even more energy for use later, giving you greater flexibility.

What does harvi do?

Harvi is a wireless energy sensor that measures generation and usage, sending this information to your Myenergi devices. It removes the need for extra cabling, making installations simpler and tidier.

Is libbi just for homes with solar panels?

No – while libbi is designed to store renewable energy, it can also store grid electricity. This allows you to charge it during off-peak times and use the stored power when prices are higher.

Can I start with one Myenergi product and add more later?

Absolutely – the system is modular. Many families start with zappi glo for EV charging, then expand to include eddi, libbi, and harvi as their green journey evolves.

Is everything controlled by the app?

Yes – the Myenergi app brings all your devices together. From one simple interface, you can see what’s happening in real time, control settings, and optimise for cost savings or sustainability.

5 Surprising Features of Modern Battery Storage You Didn’t Know About

When most people think of battery storage, they imagine a box storing energy from solar panels. But today’s battery storage systems are smarter, more versatile, and packed with features that often go unnoticed. Here are five surprising capabilities you may not realise could transform how you use energy at home or in business.

1.Smart Energy Management

Modern battery systems don’t just store energy—they actively decide when to charge and discharge. By monitoring your energy use in real time, they optimise for lower electricity bills, reduced grid demand, or maximum use of solar-generated power. Some systems even learn your habits to anticipate energy needs before they happen.

2. Backup Power & Grid Services

Battery storage is more than just convenience—it’s also protection. Many systems provide backup power during outages like the Libbi battery from MyEnergi, keeping essential appliances running. Some advanced models can participate in grid services, selling surplus energy back to the grid or supporting demand-response programs, turning stored energy into a potential revenue source.

3. Temperature Control for Longer Lifespan

Did you know temperature can make or break a battery? Modern storage units feature thermal management systems that keep batteries within optimal operating temperatures. This technology not only improves performance but also extends the lifespan of your investment. This includes the SigenStack from SigEnergy which is equipped with advanced thermal management technologies, including internal heaters and ultra-low thermal conductivity insulation pads between cells, ensuring optimal performance even in lower temperatures.

4. Scalable, Modular Designs

Energy needs change over time. Today’s battery systems are often modular, meaning you can start with one unit and add more modules as your home or business grows. This flexibility prevents overspending upfront while allowing easy upgrades. GivEnergy batteries are designed to be modular so you can add more as your requirements for more storage grows.

5. Smart Home Integration & Apps

Many battery systems now connect seamlessly with smart home platforms or proprietary apps. Users can track performance, control charging, or even manage appliances remotely. This connectivity makes energy management transparent, convenient, and efficient.

Bonus: Silent Operation & Minimal Maintenance

Most modern batteries operate quietly and require very little maintenance, surprising homeowners used to older, noisy systems. You get reliable, invisible energy storage that works in the background.

Final Thoughts

Battery storage isn’t just about saving energy—it’s about smarter, more resilient, and more flexible energy management. Whether you’re a homeowner or a business, understanding these features can help you get the most out of your system.
