Great product
I've been using Capture Energy to manage our battery system for six weeks or so. Whilst the app is new, so far its been very reliable, makes sensible choices about when to charge at off-peak rates and is saving money. The customer service is excellent, prompt responses and coherent answers. Highly recommended.

Tania
Capture paid me grid rewards
Capture are doing what they say - helping the planet and returning some money to those of us who have invested in renewables (solar) - a global win-win! Great to see and support this kind of initiative, I wish you every success as you grow the business.

Excellent Customer Service! I had a query about the requirements for the Capture system and got a reply from Fahad within 2 minutes!
Rob
Amazing experience from start to finish
Amazing service from start to finish! The guys at Capture were great at explaining everything throughout the process so we really knew how the AI would work itself, and how it would work with our InstaGen battery and Octopus Agile. We are already seeing the benefits, would definitely recommend!
Helena
Boost in export revenues
I was the first customer with a Fox battery to trial Capture Energy, which optimises home batteries for Octopus Energy customers & others. They boosted my export revenue by more than 20%!

Frequently asked questions

Who provides this service?

This service is provided jointly by Wickes Solar and Capture Energy. Wickes Solar installs and supports the the solar and battery system; Capture provides the AI software that optimises your battery's charging and discharging to increase savings on your electricity bill.

Why should I install a battery from Wickes Solar with Capture AI?

A system installed by Wickes Solar with Capture AI saves more off your bills than a standard solar and battery system. You benefit from Wickes Solar's installation quality and Capture’s smart software, giving you a shorter payback period and more long-term savings.

Is this approved by Fox ESS?

Yes, Capture Energy is an official software partner for Fox ESS batteries. You can see the details of the partnership on Fox's Website here.

Does Capture AI cost anything?

No, Capture AI is completely free of charge for Wickes Solar's customers and you can opt out at any time. We optimise your battery’s charging and discharging based on your electricity tariff - those savings show up directly on your bill and they are 100% yours.

Some batteries are eligible to participate in other electricity markets to earn additional revenues, however, homeowners themselves can't access these without Capture, so we take a share of those earnings. This allows us to offer optimisation on your tariff free of charge.

Do I need to switch supplier to use Capture AI?

No, you can stay with your current supplier. We might recommend a tariff, if we see that there is a combination of import and export electricity tariffs that increases your savings.

How can Capture integrate with my battery?

Capture connects directly to your battery via the manufacturer’s API. That means no extra hardware is needed - we securely manage your inverter and battery.

Who should I contact for support?

For hardware or installation related queries, contact Wickes Solar on 0330 8183116 or [email protected].

For app or optimisation related queries, contact Capture Energy at [email protected] or via the in-app support function.
