Octopus Tracker visibility
Octopus Tracker is simpler than Agile, but homes still need to relate daily rate changes to heating, charging and battery behaviour.
Private beta rollout
Use this page as an operating guide, not a supplier rate card.
Tariff rates, eligibility rules and regional pricing move over time. The useful part of this page is the operating logic: which homes suit the tariff, where conflicts appear, and what you should verify before acting.
Your hardware changes the answer
Battery, EV, solar and heating all interact with the same tariff in different ways, so the home-level pattern matters more than the headline unit rate.
Check the current supplier terms
Treat the fact block below as a dated summary and confirm current rates or eligibility on the supplier page before switching.
Use the CTA only after the page is useful
The product mention belongs after the tariff tradeoffs are clear, not before.
Key facts to verify
- Tracker gives a single daily rate linked to wholesale prices, which is simpler to operate than Agile's half-hourly changes
- The next day's rate is published daily, giving a full day of price visibility
- Works well for homes that value simpler planning over intraday optimisation
- Still needs proper control logic if batteries, EVs and heating loads regularly compete for the same cheap periods
Facts last checked on 11 March 2026. Rates and eligibility can change by region and over time.
What makes this tariff hard
Tracker users still need to know why import changed on a given day and which devices caused the cost shift, especially in electric-heated homes.
Best fit households
What strong control looks like on this tariff
- Bring daily tariff context into the same product as live solar, battery, heating and EV demand.
- Explain net cost changes alongside whole-home load rather than leaving users to infer the cause.
- Make heat-pump and battery behaviour understandable in relation to the day’s rate.
- Provide a single reporting layer when multiple devices are affecting import costs.
Where homes usually go wrong
- Tracker’s daily simplicity can hide complex underlying demand shifts.
- Heating-heavy homes still need a cross-device operational view.
- The tariff alone does not explain savings without a full-house energy model.
Integrations that fit this tariff
These integration pages explain which devices are most likely to benefit from this tariff’s control and reporting logic.
Solis
Connect Solis hybrid inverters to 1app.energy to see live solar, battery, grid and home demand in one place, then automate battery charge decisions around tariff windows.
Enphase
Connect Enphase systems to bring microinverter solar data into the same decision layer as tariffs, batteries, EV charging and heating demand.
Daikin
Bring Daikin heat-pump data into the same operating layer as your battery, solar and smart tariff so heating demand stops being a blind spot.
Octopus Energy
Connect Octopus tariffs to turn raw device telemetry into cost-aware actions, daily savings reporting and smarter battery decisions.
Related whole-home use cases
Use these pages to move from tariff intent into the actual home-level operational problem.
Heat pump and solar coordination
Heat-pump homes need to know how solar generation offsets heating demand and when battery storage should protect the property from non-solar hours.
Using battery storage to buffer heat-pump demand
For all-electric homes, battery storage can protect comfort and cost, but only if the reserve strategy is tuned to real heating behaviour and tariff opportunity.
Whole-home conflict detection for modern energy homes
The more flexible devices a home has, the more valuable it becomes to detect conflicts between them before they show up as cost, lost solar or poor comfort.
Smart controls that usually fit this tariff
These mode pages explain how the battery can behave on this tariff once reserve, export, and whole-home demand are included.
Home First
A simpler home-first mode. It prioritises running the home from your own solar and battery first, minimises grid dependence, and avoids optimiser-led battery export.
Autopilot
The best starting mode for most homes. Autopilot decides when to charge, hold, or export by balancing tariff value, home coverage, refill confidence, and your protected minimum battery SoC. Choose Balanced for a calmer default or Aggressive for stronger value seeking.
