Multiple schedules: Smart charging and export slots for Growatt and GivEnergy
We are pleased to announce the general availability of the long-awaited multiple schedules functionality for our users with GivEnergy or Growatt systems on Time-Of-Use (TOU) tariffs.
This means you can now configure up to five schedules, be it a charge or export schedule. You can do this via one unified view, called ‘Schedules’, which replaces the previous ‘Smart Charging’ and ‘Optimise Export tariff’ views.
This article details how Wonder Watt is transforming energy management for users on TOU tariffs, with multiple easy-to-use schedules, delivering a streamlined, cost-effective, powerful and above all, hands-off approach.

Smart and predictive charging: elevating your energy game
Wonder Watt revolutionises how users interact with TOU tariffs. By allowing users to import and charge at cheaper rates and then utilise the stored energy during costlier periods, Wonder Watt not only maximises savings but also enhances overall energy efficiency.
With our in-house algorithm and solar forecasting based on your location’s weather forecast, you can experience the ease and hands-off approach of intelligent energy management.
Another way in which this intelligent management is being achieved is by automatically reducing the charge rate to allow for the target charge to be achieved at the end of your defined period. This is widely recognised as a method to enhance battery longevity.
Users can now create up to five customised schedules for charging or forced discharge/export to the grid, optimising their energy usage based on personal needs and TOU tariffs.
It is worth pointing out that the schedules are 100% managed at the Wonder Watt end, and as such it means that multiple charge slots or export slots do not have to be supported by your inverter directly.
GivEnergy’s Gen1 and Gen2 inverters for instance only have a single charge slot that can be configured.
This adaptability makes Wonder Watt a leader in energy management for those seeking to maximise their Growatt and GivEnergy systems’ potential.
User-friendly and future-ready
Wonder Watt is synonymous with simplicity and innovation.
It’s designed for users who want a powerful, yet straightforward, cloud-based solution without the need for complex coding or technical knowledge.
Our platform’s user-friendly nature means you spend less time managing and more time enjoying the benefits of efficient energy use.
Upcoming enhancements: support for Octopus Agile tariff
In the coming weeks, we are set to introduce support for the Octopus Agile tariff, providing unparalleled flexibility and even more opportunities for cost savings.
This update will be particularly exciting for Growatt users, offering an easy way to integrate with Octopus Agile, that has long been missing from out-of-the-box solutions.
