SolaX Introduces XAgent – An Energy Assistant You Can Talk To

SolaX Power is adding a new layer to its home energy systems: a virtual assistant that understands everyday language. Called XAgent, the software brings together the company's existing AI engines under a single, conversational interface, so a user can simply describe what they need and let the system handle the rest.

SolaX already ships devices running what it calls the  X‑Matrix – a set of AI modules that look after battery safety, energy scheduling, maintenance, and customer support. XAgent sits on top of these modules, acting as the coordinator. Its job is to take a spoken or typed request, decide which expert to involve, string several actions together, and come back with an answer – or ask for permission when something important changes.

"You don't need to program your system, and you don't need to read a manual," explains the Head of Smart Energy at SolaX. "You just say things like 'Have the car ready by eight tomorrow' or 'Why is my solar production low today?', and XAgent works it out."

How this smart home energy assistant works in practice

Behind the scenes, XAgent uses different experts to cover different tasks a household faces. A few real‑world examples help show what that means:

A family in a time‑of‑use tariff area types "Have the electric car charged by 8 AM tomorrow." XAgent fetches the local price profile, spots a cheap overnight window, and schedules the EV charging session – no timers or settings needed from the user.

In another home, the owner notices the PV system is generating less than expected on a sunny day. Instead of scrolling through menus, they ask XAgent what's happening. The assistant checks weather data, pulls actual production figures from the solar inverter, and then runs through string voltages and grid‑protection parameters. It finds that an export limit has been set too low and tells the user: "Your export limit is 5 kW, that's capping production. You may want your installer to raise it, if your grid operator allows."

A third household uploads a photo of its electricity bill. XAgent reads the tariff, calculates how much energy could be shifted to cheaper periods using the battery storage system, and estimates the monthly energy savings. It also folds in feed‑in tariffs and a possible virtual power plant scheme, presenting the result in a few simple sentences.

For markets with dynamic hourly pricing, a trading agent inside XAgent could eventually buy and sell power on the owner's behalf, always keeping enough in reserve for the home – though this feature will roll out later, once the underlying market connections are in place.

Coming soon via software update

XAgent is not a separate product; it will arrive as a software update for existing SolaX systems once final integration and quality checks are done. The company has not given a precise date but says the rollout will start when the system meets its internal reliability targets.

SolaX has sketched a few directions that are likely to shape how XAgent evolves.
The thinking right now includes things like: 

•  an assistant that gradually learns a household's weekly rhythm and makes small adjustments on its own; 

•  a system that re‑configures itself when the family adds an electric car or a heat pump; 

• the ability to look after more than one property from a single account;

• smarter ways to move between tariffs and market opportunities as they appear.

These are early ideas, not finished features, and SolaX expects the details to change as testing and feedback come in.

Built with European households in mind

XAgent splits its intelligence between the local device and the cloud. Tasks that must never fail – battery protection, basic scheduling – keep running even without internet, while heavier analysis and natural‑language processing live online. SolaX says that design came directly from early conversations with European users who care about privacy and uptime.

"Households in Europe are on the front line of flexible tariffs, heat pumps, and electric cars,"said SolaX's Head of Smart Energy. "They don't want to become part‑time energy traders. They want a system that quietly gets on with the job. That's the whole point of XAgent."

More information on availability and supported markets will be published later this year.
