Glow Control

Intelligent energy control, without the complexity.

See what your system is doing, set simple preferences, and let it optimise in the background — automatically.

Clear visibility, without complexity

Glow Control shows you how your home energy system is performing — clearly, calmly, and in real time.

You can see where energy is coming from, where it’s going, and how your system behaves over time, without needing to manage it day to day.

At a glance

  • Live and historical views of generation, consumption, storage, and export
  • Simple breakdowns that reveal patterns, not just numbers
  • Automatic energy flow that prioritises your home first

Designed around self-consumption

Glow Control prioritises using the energy you generate in your home before exporting it to the grid.

Energy flows are handled automatically — powering your home first, then storing surplus energy, and exporting excess where permitted.

This keeps performance predictable, reduces dependence on incentives, and supports long-term system reliability.

Insight over time

Glow Control doesn’t just show what’s happening right now — it helps you understand how your home energy system performs over time.

You can view energy generation, usage, storage, and grid interaction across different time periods, making it easier to spot patterns, seasonal changes, and shifts in behaviour.

This longer-term view helps you understand how your home uses energy — without needing to analyse raw data or constantly check the app.

What this makes easier

  • Understanding daily and seasonal energy patterns
  • Seeing how storage supports evening and overnight use
  • Comparing generation and consumption over time

Glow Control turns data into understanding — without demanding constant attention.

Designed for grid reality

Home energy systems don’t operate in isolation.
They connect to the wider electricity network — and that network has real, location-specific limits.

Glow Control is designed to work within these realities, not around assumptions.

Export capacity, connection limits, and grid rules are set by your local electricity network operator — not by Glow. These constraints vary by area and can change over time.

Glow Control takes this into account from the start, ensuring your system performs reliably whether export is available, limited, or temporarily restricted.

What this means in practice

  • Export availability can vary by location
  • Some areas limit how much energy can be exported
  • Grid rules and incentives can change over time

Glow systems are designed to perform efficiently regardless — by prioritising self-consumption and storage rather than relying on export conditions that may not always be available.

A note on exporting energy

Most Glow systems are capable of exporting surplus energy back to the grid, where permitted.

Export happens automatically — after your home’s needs are met and storage is prioritised. It’s not something you need to manage day to day.

If export is available to you, the system will make use of it.
If it isn’t, Glow Control ensures your system still operates efficiently and predictably.

Why this approach matters

Designing for grid reality protects long-term performance.

Rather than optimising around short-term incentives or assumptions, Glow systems are built to:

  • Perform consistently
  • Adapt as grid rules change
  • Deliver value regardless of export availability

This keeps your system dependable — now and in the years ahead

System health & reliability

Glow Control is designed to give reassurance — not alerts for the sake of it.

Your system is continuously monitored in the background, with clear status indicators that show when everything is operating as it should. Most of the time, the system simply confirms that performance is normal.

You don’t need to check constantly.
When things are working properly, Glow Control stays quiet.

Designed to spot issues early

If performance moves outside expected ranges, this can be identified through system monitoring and addressed as part of ongoing support.

This approach helps reduce disruption, avoid unnecessary downtime, and ensure the system continues to perform reliably over the long term.

Reliability through good design

System health isn’t just about monitoring — it starts with how the system is designed and installed.

Glow Control supports a system that’s already specified correctly, installed carefully, and commissioned properly. Monitoring reinforces that foundation rather than compensating for it.

What this means for homeowners

  • Confidence that the system is operating normally
  • Reassurance without constant checking
  • Early visibility if attention is ever needed

Glow Control is there to confirm that everything is working — quietly and reliably.

Built to evolve

Glow Control is designed as part of a long-term home energy system — not a fixed snapshot in time.

As the energy landscape changes, software updates can introduce refinements and improvements quietly in the background, without altering the hardware in your home or adding complexity to everyday use.

Rather than chasing short-term features, Glow Control focuses on stability, compatibility, and long-term reliability — helping your system remain relevant as technologies, tariffs, and regulations evolve.

What this means for homeowners

  • Ongoing improvement without disruption
  • No manual updates or reconfiguration
  • Confidence that your system won’t feel outdated over time

Glow Control is designed to grow with your home — calmly and reliably.
