Inverter Control

CATCH Control is the core of your solar system, replacing the inverter’s native energy meter to intelligently manage solar, batteries, and loads.

This simplifies the integration of various inverters, batteries, and loads across different brands, making complex setups more efficient.

With dynamic export control, phase balancing, and cloud tethering, CATCH Control eliminates the need for additional underground wiring or hardwired connections, reducing installation time and complexity while enhancing system reliability.

This solution addresses key challenges Installers face almost daily.

* Export limiting

* Site load control

* Remote Inverter and Load Control - Cloud Tethering

* Dynamic/ Flexible Exports/Imports

* Consumption monitoring in a single, user-friendly device.

Battery Controls

When CATCH Power acts as the energy meter for integrated inverters and batteries, it takes control of these assets through a sophisticated control loop, managing all Consumer Energy Resources (CER) connected to the device.

This integration enhances battery functionality, even allowing batteries to be installed on zero-export sites, By seeing battery state of charge and household loads we can ensure the inverter generates enough energy to cover the household loads and charge the battery while complying with DNSP Zero Export regulations.

CATCH Power's CER eco system offers full visibility and control over connected loads. When large loads like EV chargers and hot water systems can be excluded to prevent the battery discharging into these heavy loads.

Traditional solutions to these challenges required wiring these loads outside of the visibility of the battery. Which resulted in losing visibility of these loads.
With CATCH Control's approach we offer comprehensive monitoring of all loads via 'The Monocle'.

This approach also allows for homeowners to easily set additional charging cycles, pairing off peak energy plans with additional charging cycles.

Dynamic Environments

CATCH Control is your go-to solution for navigating dynamic and flexible energy requirements.

With built-in compliance for dynamic imports, CATCH Control ensures your system can adapt to ever-changing grid requirements.

CATCH Control provides the precision and reliability needed for optimal performance.

Our advanced capabilities allow for seamless integration with various inverters and energy resources, making it the ideal choice for installers in today’s flexible energy landscape.

CATCH Control’s cloud tethering feature allows for export limiting of inverters over Wi-Fi, eliminating the need to trench a physical hard wire connection.

This capability allows installers to manage solar exports seamlessly across multiple inverters, even in complex setups.

In other cases, multiple devices can be required, depending on the individual site set up but this also offers the added benefit of monitoring sub-circuits individually and controlling multiple loads across the property.

By leveraging Cloud Tethered solutions, installers can significantly cut down on both materials and labor costs, making installations simpler, more efficient, and cost-effective, while still ensuring compliance with DNSP regulations

Monitoring and Controls

Seamless Control with CATCH Power Apps

CATCH Power offers two dedicated apps to provide complete visibility and control over your solar energy system — from install to everyday use.

For Installers: CATCH Power Configurator

The Configurator App is your go-to tool for commissioning and configuring CATCH Control systems.
It simplifies setup, allows for precise adjustments, and ensures optimal performance from day one — all from your phone or tablet.

For Homeowners: The Monocle App

Monocle is an intuitive energy management app designed specifically for homeowners.
It goes beyond typical solar monitoring — providing real-time insight into:

Solar production
Household consumption
Battery behaviour
Load control
Live energy pricing
Dynamic export limits imposed by the network

It’s the only app in the market that tells you when the network is restricting your exports or when electricity prices spike — so you can take action and save.

Plus: Free Access via Solar Analytics

Both installers and homeowners also get free access to system performance and insights via the Solar Analytics dashboard — adding another layer of monitoring and plan optimisation tools.

Together, these apps put the power in your hands — whether you’re installing the system or living with it.

No other platform offers this level of control, insight, and smart energy management.

Configuration and Commissioning with the CATCH Power Configurator app

The CATCH Power Configurator app is a powerful tool designed specifically for installers, streamlining the commissioning process of CATCH Control.

This app allows installers to connect directly to the device via a Bluetooth connection and follow the commissioning guide.

Recent updates make the commissioning process even smoother, with specialty designed software, now monitoring newly connected sites to ensure they are installed correctly. This software automatically adjust settings if something is not quite right.

This can include running automatic software updates, flipping the CT polarity and renaming channel data, all without lifting a finger or returning to site.

By automating these steps, the Config app ensures that site setup is smooth and efficient. With features like these, installers can ensure that every system is accurately configured, reducing installation time and ensuring optimal performance from the start.

MyFleet Manager

The MyFleet Manager is a powerful tool designed for our installer network, providing access to all their customers' installations.

This desktop platform allows installers to remotely monitor, diagnose, and manage solar systems with greater control.

Using the same account details as the CATCH Power Configurator app, installers can make manual adjustments to site operations and gain a comprehensive overview of all connected sites.

Additionally, installers have access to the Solar Analytics Fleet Manager, enhancing their ability to monitor system performance across multiple locations.

Load Control

Maximizing self-consumption by turning loads on and off with the rise and fall of solar production is crucial.

CATCH Control series offers seamless integration by allowing the same device that controls your inverter and Batteries to also manage site loads via a contactor and a compatible EV charger without any additional hardware.

CATCH Control not only manages loads but does so with unmatched precision and flexibility. For example, you can set a load to run only when solar exports exceed 3kW, but also ensures a minimum run time is met each day.

With CATCH Control, you get industry-tailored flexibility, allowing you to program loads based on

* Export
* Voltage
* Frequency
* Time
* Price
or any combination of these factors.

EV Charging

Charge your EV from your solar with CATCH Control

Integrating your EV Charger with CATCH Control is straightforward and offers numerous benefits.

CATCH Control is at the heart of your solar system integrating with your inverter and communicated via OCPP with compatible EV Chargers. Allowing for smarter charging based on solar inputs, scheduled charging or Wholesale energy pricing.

Unlike other solutions, CATCH Control communicates directly with the inverter on site, enabling real-time tracking of solar production without delays. This immediate access to information allows CATCH Control to adjust the EV charging output within seconds, optimizing your energy use and reducing running costs.

An Explanation of Dynamic EV Charge Control

Dynamic Exports and Imports refer to signals sent by your local DNSP to indicate the allowable amount of energy you can either send to the grid or import from it. These signals are crucial for protecting grid infrastructure and ensuring that grid assets are well maintained under varying loads.

Dynamic EV Charging is a smart charging system that communicated with your local DNSP to adjusts power levels in real-time based on grid demand. Dynamic Import Control allows your EV charger to adjust power intake dynamically. This means your charger will priorities solar power and adapt to grid conditions, ensuring efficient and reliable charging. This method allows real-time adjustments, enhanced communication, and user convenience.

In contrast non-compliant EV chargers MUST have a 'Ripple Control' device installed. This limits the DNSP's control to ON and OFF. You lose your ability to supplement your EV charging with Solar and Batteries, because the DNSP has cut the power supply to the charger completely. EV Chargers that do not comply can be shut off without notice, making them unpredictable and this type of charging unreliable.

Market Trading
