Which capacity
is right for you?
Your own grid import and export show how much storage suits your daily routine. You can assess which home battery fits using measurements from your home.

The timing of your electricity surplus and demand is what makes the difference when choosing a battery.
From measurements to possibilities
What could a battery cover for you?
The app maps your electricity pattern and calculates where storage could help.

What can you save for later use?
The app matches your midday surplus to your later consumption.What the app learns from this
The app matches daytime grid export to grid import later in the day. This shows how much storage fits this pattern.

8 kWh strikes the best balance
Enough storage to shift the midday surplus to the evening.
Extra capacity adds less
Larger systems do not automatically store much more usable electricity.
Everything side by side
Capacity, potential savings and payback time remain directly comparable.

Your home and the electricity grid
See which way your electricity flows.
Grid import is electricity you use from the grid. Grid export is electricity you supply to the grid, for example when your solar panels generate more than your home needs. The app shows you when this happens.

From your electricity pattern to a suitable home battery.
With enough measurement data, the ZinVolt app calculates which ZinVolt home battery and storage capacity suit you. You receive an estimate of savings and payback time. With more data, we can also simulate what a dynamic energy contract and smart control could add in your situation.

Your situation is the starting point.
Your P1 dongle measures your grid import and export, helping you see which battery suits you.
Make an informed choice with your data.
Your data shows which capacity makes sense, with the corresponding savings and payback period.
You decide what suits you.
A smaller battery may already be enough. You decide what makes sense for your situation.
How it works
Connect. Measure.
Make an informed choice.
Start with one P1 dongle in your smart meter. You do not need a home battery yet. Your own measurements form the basis for your choice.
-
Connect the P1 dongle
Plug it into the P1 port of your smart meter. You connect the P1 dongle yourself.
-
Connect to the ZinVolt app
Follow the steps in the app and connect the P1 dongle to your Wi-Fi. You will then see your grid import and export.
-
Measure first. Choose later.
Let the P1 dongle measure your electricity pattern. With enough data, you can view your personal battery calculation in the app.
What you need: a smart meter with a P1 port, Wi-Fi near the meter and a smartphone.
Frequently asked questions
Anything else to know
before you start?
From the P1 dongle to choosing your battery: find the answers here. Cannot find your question? We are happy to help.
What do I get with the P1 dongle PRO?
You will receive the P1 dongle PRO, access to the ZinVolt app, and your personal battery calculation. Shipping is free. This purchase does not yet include a home battery.
The calculation will be based on your collected measurement data. Any additional connection necessities, such as power supply or a P1 splitter, depend on your smart meter.
Do I have to buy a home battery afterwards?
No. You start by measuring without buying a home battery. You can continue to use the P1 dongle to monitor your grid import and export. You decide if and when you purchase a ZinVolt home battery yourself.
When can I view my battery calculation?
After connecting and pairing, you will see your current grid import and export in the ZinVolt app. For your battery calculation, the P1 dongle must first collect sufficient measurement data. This is therefore not immediately available upon connection.
Differences between days and seasons are important. A short measurement period does not yet provide a complete annual picture. The calculated savings and payback period remain expectations.
Which home batteries are assessed?
Your measurement data helps you assess a home battery from the ZinVolt range. You gain insight into suitable storage capacity, potential savings, and estimated payback period for your situation. This is not a comparison of all battery brands.
How are capacity, savings, and payback period calculated?
Your measured grid import and export are the basis. This is used to assess how much storage suits the times when you have surplus electricity and need it again later.
Savings and payback period are calculated expectations. Your energy tariff, measurement period, season, and future usage influence the outcome. The calculation helps you choose, but does not guarantee a return.
What do I need to connect the P1 dongle?
A smart meter with a suitable P1 port, Wi-Fi near the meter, and the ZinVolt app on your smartphone. The app will guide you through the connection process.
Some meters require additional power via USB-C. If the P1 port is already in use, a suitable P1 splitter may be needed. We are happy to help if you have any questions about connecting your device.
Do I need solar panels?
No. Without solar panels, you get insight into your grid consumption. With solar panels, you also see when you feed electricity back into the grid. It is precisely these moments that are useful for assessing how much of your own solar power you could shift to a later time with a home battery.
What exactly does the P1 dongle measure?
The P1 dongle reads the grid import and export from your smart meter. This shows you when your home is drawing power from the grid and when you are supplying power to the grid.
The P1 dongle does not separately measure the consumption per appliance or the total generation of your solar panels. Solar power that you use directly in your home does not pass the grid meter as grid import or export.
