Octopus Energy may be best known as one of the UK’s biggest energy suppliers, but it now wants to manage far more of your home’s energy setup. Alongside electricity tariffs, heat pumps and EV charging, it installs rooftop solar panels and batteries, giving homeowners the option to generate, store, use and sell electricity through the same company.
That one-stop-shop approach is one of Octopus’s biggest selling points. Its solar systems can be paired with home battery storage and smart import and export tariffs designed to help you make better use of the electricity you generate. Octopus also handles the process from system design through to installation, which may appeal if you’d rather avoid dealing with several different companies.
