Name: John

Location: Gold Coast, Queensland

Joined Redx AI Energy Plan: September 2024

Household: Two adults, three children

Energy Setup: 15kW Solar System, 28kWh Battery Storage (1x RX-7000Plus, 1x RX-5000AC, 2x RX-2505AC)

Data Period: October 2024 – February 2025 (5 months)

 

Situation: Struggling with High Electricity Bills

John, a homeowner on the Gold Coast, Queensland, was dealing with high electricity costs. With a household of five people, his daily energy consumption averaged 41.5 kWh, leading to expensive electricity bills.
Before installing solar and battery storage, John’s total electricity bill for 5 months was $923.06. Despite trying to manage energy use efficiently, he still paid the full retail price for electricity, making it difficult for him to reduce his costs.

John needed a cost-effective energy solution that would:
• Lower his electricity bill
• Better utilise the excessive solar energy generated
• Reduce dependence on the grid
• Automate energy management to maximise savings
• Automate energy trading for import and export at the best price.

     

    Solution: Redx Battery + AI-Powered Optimisation

    John decided to install a 15kW solar system and a Redx battery setup. However, he soon realised that simply having solar and battery storage wasn’t enough—he needed a smarter way to manage his energy.

    That’s when he joined the Redx AI Energy Plan in September 2024. Redx AI transformed the way John managed his electricity by:

    • Storing solar power when prices are low and using it when prices are high
    • Automatically buying and selling electricity to maximise savings
    • Ensuring he used the cheapest energy available without any manual effort
    • Providing real-time energy optimisation to reduce costs even further

      How Redx AI Optimised John’s Savings

      We compared three scenarios:

      • No Solar or Battery: John paid full retail electricity rates.
      • With Solar & Battery (No AI): John saved money but still had to manage energy usage manually.
      • With Solar, Battery & Redx AI: AI-optimised battery charging and grid interactions, maximising savings and even generating earnings!

       Monthly Cost Breakdown

      • Black Line → Monthly bill without solar or battery (Highest cost)
      • Blue Line → Monthly bill with solar & battery but without AI (Moderate savings)
      • Green Line → Monthly bill with solar, battery & Redx AI (Significant savings)

      With Redx AI, John’s costs dropped dramatically, turning his bill into a profit!

      John’s Experience with Redx Battery and Redx AI

      1. Why did you choose a Redx battery?

      I wanted a reliable battery that could help me store solar power and cut my electricity bills. Redx stood out because it’s an Aussie company with great technology and a local support team onshore. It just made sense.

      1. How has your experience been so far?

      Yes! My bills have dropped a lot. The AI helps me utilise more solar power and buy from the grid only when it’s cost-effective. I’m saving way more than I expected.

      1. Have you seen a difference in your electricity bills?

      Yes! My bills have dropped a lot. The AI helps me use more solar power and buy from the grid only when it’s cheap. I’m saving way more than I expected.

      1. What would you say to someone considering getting a Redx battery and AI energy plan?

      Just do it! If you’ve got solar, a Redx battery with AI is a no-brainer. The AI trades energy intelligently; it buys at the lowest price and sells at the highest, helping you save money without the hassle of managing everything yourself. I only wish I’d done it sooner!

      1. What prompted you to choose the Redx AI energy plan?

      I loved the idea of letting AI handle my energy usage. Instead of worrying about when to charge or use my battery, Redx AI does it for me—automatically determining the best times to charge and discharge the battery, as well as buy and sell power to the grid. Redx AI also helps prepare for the worst weather situations, which charge up fully before bad weather strikes.
