If you’ve already invested in solar, the next step isn’t just adding a battery. It’s turning your home into a smart energy system. With the right tools, your solar can do more than just cut bills. It can heat your water, charge your EV, and keep your battery working when it matters most. That’s where Catch Power comes in.
More homeowners are now looking beyond panels and starting to think about full energy automation. Catch Power makes that transition seamless by giving you real-time control over how, when, and where your energy is used.
What is Catch Power?
Catch Power is a home energy management system that acts as the control hub for your solar, battery, and major household appliances. It works with all major inverter and battery brands and is designed to help you get the most from your solar investment.
Instead of sending excess solar back to the grid for minimal returns, Catch Power helps you use that energy within your home, where it delivers real savings.
One System, Multiple Benefits
Catch Control is the central unit. Installed at your switchboard, it monitors your solar production, household usage, and grid interaction in real time. Based on your energy goals, like reducing grid reliance or responding to wholesale pricing, it automatically makes smart decisions.
Some key functions include:
Battery Management
Controls charging and discharging while using battery exclusion zones to stop unnecessary drain into high-load appliances like EVs or hot water systems. This keeps your stored energy available when it’s actually needed.
Hot Water Control
Uses live solar data, forecasts, and your household’s usage patterns to decide when to heat water. It operates in five-minute intervals to ensure your system is always heating at the lowest possible cost.
EV Charging
Prioritises surplus solar for EV charging and protects your battery from draining unnecessarily. It also keeps your EV setup compliant with DNSP rules.
Flexible Load Coordination
The system can manage multiple appliances, including air conditioning, pool heating, and more, especially when paired with the six-channel model.
Control from Anywhere
The Monocle app gives you full visibility and control of your home’s energy. You can monitor performance, control loads remotely, and respond to energy price signals. It also includes Solar Analytics, which helps you track savings, understand usage patterns, and identify the best energy plan.
Designed for Solar and Battery Integration
Whether you’re planning to expand with a battery under the Cheaper Home Batteries Program or already have one in place, Catch Power ensures your system is ready. It supports hybrid setups, multi-brand compatibility, and advanced configurations using Cluster Control, which makes all system components work as one.
For homeowners focused on hot water savings, Green CATCH is an easy retrofit option that diverts excess solar to your water system. It can offset up to 95 per cent of your water heating costs on a typical 5 kW solar system.
For larger or high-demand homes, the 6 Channel Catch Control gives you advanced visibility and control over multiple circuits, helping you manage all your energy-intensive appliances from one place.
Smarter Solar Solutions
With more homes turning to batteries, EVs, and smarter systems, the way we manage energy is changing. Catch Power gives you the tools to adapt, optimise, and take full control of your setup.
At Press Power, we help homeowners turn good solar into smart solar. Whether you’re upgrading or starting fresh, we can show you how to make the most of your system.
