A stronger customer proposition
Give customers a quote that explains battery performance, lower bills, surplus value, and statements rather than another disconnected monitoring app.
For UK solar and battery installers
Add a smarter energy and revenue layer to every compatible install.
ZenHub is a £249 installed hardware box that helps households optimise usage, access eligible surplus and flexibility value, and see the result after handover.

Installer proposition
Better customer outcomes without making the install harder to sell.
The installer proposition is simple: explain the commercial reason, make the connection model clear, and show what happens after customer handover.
Designed to be quick to fit
ZenHub is positioned as a compact hardware box that can be fitted alongside the existing energy setup with a focused commissioning flow.
Broad integration routes
Support for Modbus-style device integration and secure API connections helps cover common solar, battery, inverter, and meter setups.
A measurable aftercare story
Position the install as a managed energy system with account reporting, service signals, and support cases after handover.
Secure customer handover
The customer account includes login, MFA, billing statements, system performance, and support so customers can self-serve after installation.
Customer outcomes
Give the homeowner a reason to choose the better system.
Lumo and Levelise both make the value story very explicit. ZenHub should do the same: lower bills, more useful battery control, earnings potential, and less post-install confusion.
Lower bills
Reduce avoidable peak import and shift controllable energy use toward better-value windows.
Higher returns
Expose eligible homes to export and flexibility opportunities instead of relying only on baseline solar savings.
Cleaner handover
Customers get one account for performance, statements, support, and security instead of calling the installer for every question.
Fitted box workflow
Designed for a clean install and a clear customer handover.
01
Survey the site
Confirm meter, inverter, battery, comms, tariff, export, and internet readiness before fitting the ZenHub box.
02
Fit the box
Install the hardware neatly near the energy equipment, then connect supported Modbus, metering, and network paths.
03
Commission control
Register the system, verify live readings, check supported devices, and hand over the customer login.
04
Monitor performance
ZenHub reports optimisation activity, revenue, statements, and support signals through the customer account area.
How ZenHub compares
A clearer way to position the fitted box in a competitive quote.
This mock comparison borrows the useful structure from the reference sites without copying their claims: explain the alternatives, then show why ZenHub is a practical managed layer.
Manufacturer apps
Typical gap
Good for device-level monitoring, but often limited to one brand or narrow battery logic.
ZenHub angle
Whole-home view across supported equipment, tariffs, market signals, and customer account reporting.
Tariff-only optimisation
Typical gap
Can shift timing, but may miss device data, solar generation, export, and installer support context.
ZenHub angle
Combines tariff awareness with hardware telemetry, commissioning, support, and statements.
Referral-only flexibility offers
Typical gap
Can create one-off value, but rarely become an ongoing managed energy experience.
ZenHub angle
Designed as a fitted, ongoing optimisation layer with customer and partner visibility.
Controller hardware
Typical gap
Adds installation cost and complexity unless the workflow is deliberately simple.
ZenHub angle
A focused £249 fitted box with Modbus and API paths, built around a clear commissioning flow.
Customer hardware price
£249
Clear fitted-hardware positioning helps customers understand what they are buying and helps installers explain the value alongside the solar and battery quote.
Compatibility
Built around the integration routes installers already understand.
ZenHub should support a practical mix of physical device connectivity, Modbus paths, metering data, and secure manufacturer APIs where available.
Solar PV systems
Home batteries
Hybrid inverters
Battery inverters
Smart meters
Export meters
EV chargers where supported
Heat pumps where supported
Modbus RTU / TCP paths
Secure manufacturer APIs
Time-of-use tariffs
Flexibility market participation
Partner portal mock
The installer story should continue after the van leaves.
A partner portal gives ZenHub more credibility: installers can imagine customer onboarding, fleet health, lead follow-up, and future recurring revenue in one place.
Customer onboarding
Mock partner flow for checking eligibility, adding an install, and handing over a customer login.
Fleet performance
A partner view could show connected systems, data health, optimisation state, and sites needing attention.
Revenue visibility
Track estimated customer value and partner revenue once commercial terms and market access are finalised.
Aftercare signals
Support cases, device health, and statement questions should be visible before they become installer callbacks.
Installer FAQ
The practical questions a quote needs to answer.
What makes ZenHub useful for installers?
It gives your quote a practical optimisation layer: a fitted box, customer account, revenue reporting, support route, and a future partner revenue story rather than a vague promise that the homeowner has to manage themselves.
How easy is it to install?
The installer proposition should be a simple fitted-box workflow: check eligibility, mount the box, connect supported devices or metering, confirm network access, then complete commissioning.
Does ZenHub support Modbus?
Yes. The site should position Modbus support as a key integration route, alongside secure device APIs where the customer equipment supports them.
Does this replace manufacturer monitoring?
No. ZenHub should sit above the equipment layer, helping optimise and report value across the home while the underlying devices keep their normal manufacturer monitoring and warranty paths.
What does the customer see after handover?
The ZenHub account area is being built to show billing, system performance, revenue, statements, support, and security controls including MFA.
Should ZenHub mention installer revenue?
Yes, but cautiously until commercial terms are final. The mocked content frames it as a partner revenue opportunity and avoids promising a fixed amount before Zenergy confirms the model.
