What are HEMS?
A Home Energy Management System (HEMS) is an innovative solution designed to optimise energy use in a home, especially when integrated with photovoltaic (PV) systems and battery storage. HEMS allows monitoring and control of energy generation, storage, and consumption, enhancing the home's energy efficiency and reducing electricity costs by allowing connection to virtual power plants and secondary trading markets.
Introducing the Levelise Hub
Buy and sell electricity smarter, save and earn on average £300 more!
Let the new Levelise HEMS make more money and savings for you from your solar PV system. This innovative device can pick the lowest electricity rates, monitor, control and manage your home energy, and connect to virtual power plants and secondary trading markets.
Plus, you can get your Levelise Hubs for free for a limited time!
How does the Levelise Hub work?
Generate solar energy
Your photovoltaic system generates clean, renewable electricity from the sun
Make the best use of stored electricity
Your battery stores the electricity that your PV produces, that is not immediately consumed. Levelise optimises how that stored electricity is used in your house so you minimise waste.
Trade at the best times
The Levelise app provides you with insights on savings and trades electricity at the best times for you
Earn money from your battery
Levelise allows you to participate in their Virtual Power Plant and to access secondary trading markets usually available only to large commerical power plants. What you earn they pay you every month by direct debit.

Save/earn £300 more per year
Having a Levelise system saves and earns an average customer £300 more per year. This is based on Levelise calculations on a household that uses 3000 kWh electricity/year, with a solar PV system that generates 4400 kWh/year and has a 5 kWh battery attached. Actual savings may vary according to your annual consumption and system size/outputs.
How does Levelise generate this increase? Without a Levelise your system savings are expected to be £600 from self consumption + £200 from exporting. With a Levelise you could earn an £50 from increased battery; £150 by taking advantage of peak/low pricing from the grid; and £100 in services to the National Grid.
