Going on Holiday? Leave Your FlexiObox Switched on!

It may seem logical to temporarily turn off your power system when you hardly consume anyway. Yet it's better to leave your FlexiObox switched on, even when you're not at home.

In fact, it's just beneficial to leave your FlexiObox switched on. In this blog, we explain why FlexiO continues to work smart even during your holiday, how it automatically adjusts to your absence, and how you can still benefit from savings and yield even without being home.

FlexiO's Smart Algorithms

FlexiO is not just another energy platform. The system is built on an intelligent algorithm that continuously analyzes your energy behavior and responds accordingly. Even when you are away for a while, such as during a vacation.

As soon as you consume no or little energy for a few days, FlexiO recognises that your average energy consumption is dropping. The system automatically adjusts accordingly.

Whereas under normal circumstances it holds some of your battery capacity as a reserve (e.g., to accommodate your evening consumption), now it knows: that buffer is temporarily not needed. So when you're on holiday, your battery can do more with grid balancing because there is no home consumption.

The result? FlexiO reduces reserved capacity and uses the released energy in other smart ways such as grid balancing. That way you don't lose efficiency, even if your consumption drops temporarily.

No Energy Waste, But Optimisation

The system does not hold your battery capacity unnecessarily. On the contrary: when there is minimal consumption at home, FlexiO looks for other ways to use the available energy smartly.

For example, by temporarily injecting generated solar energy into the grid at favorable times, or by partially draining the battery to recharge later at an advantageous price. During the Summer holidays, there is more chance of negative prices. FlexiO responds to this by either keeping the generated solar power in the battery for a while and only putting it on the grid later, or in the most extreme cases even reducing the production of solar power.

The result? Even when you're not using energy, FlexiO continues to actively generate efficiency. So your battery doesn't work less hard when you're away. It just works differently. And always to your advantage.

FlexiO Continues to Learn from Your Consumption Patterns

FlexiO is designed to continually learn from your consumption patterns, both short-term and long-term. Temporary deviations, such as a holiday of a few days or weeks, have no negative impact on that learning process. The algorithm automatically recognises that there is less consumption and adjusts accordingly, without you having to do anything. This is why we deliberately don't provide a separate "holiday mode": rather, the system is built to handle changes flexibly. Additional settings would only make it more complex, while FlexiO works most efficiently when it can steer autonomously. You enjoy your holiday, FlexiO does the rest.

Let FlexiO Do Its Thing

Whether you are at home or not, FlexiO continues to continuously optimise. The system automatically adapts to your consumption, cleverly switching between self-consumption, grid injection and dynamic pricing. This way, FlexiO gets the most out of your installation, even when you're not around.

So there is no waste or misuse. You don't have to adjust anything, turn anything off, and above all, don't worry. Just let FlexiO do its job. Leave your FlexiObox switched on and leave on holiday with peace of mind.
