The platform behind every LYD product
One intelligence. Every product. The energy operating system that runs on every Orbit, every SafeCell, every Photon string, and every LYD vehicle — and renders all of them as one coordinated household, factory, or grid in the palm of your hand.

What Lucid OS is
Lucid OS isn’t a monitoring app. It is the operating system that coordinates every LYD product into one household, every household into one fleet, every fleet into one grid. It does three things, and it does them on every surface where it lives.
Every product, one system.
Lucid OS speaks to every Orbit, every SafeCell, every Photon string, and every LYD vehicle in your installation as a single coordinated system. No app-per-device, no app-per-brand. One memory model. One dashboard. One mind.
Forecast, then prevent.
Lucid OS doesn’t just report what just happened — it forecasts what is about to. Weather-aware solar yield, load-curve learning, tariff-window optimisation, and anomaly detection that flags a lagging panel weeks before its monthly bill does.
Learn your house, your day, your year.
Every household uses energy differently. Lucid OS watches — with consent — how your home actually behaves and shifts charging windows, discharge priorities, and tariff exposure to match. The longer it runs, the better it gets.
Across every product
From a 4-inch OLED ring on your wall to a multi-monitor SCADA console in a substation, Lucid OS wears different clothes for different audiences — but the data model, the design language, and the brain underneath are one and the same. Here’s what it looks like wherever you find it.
01 / On the wall
Orbit
The energy core · for the homeowner
Every Orbit carries a 4-inch circular OLED that orbits around its own animated power-flow ring. Sun on the left, battery at the bottom, grid on the right, home in the middle — and the cyan dots that travel between them are not animation, they are the live current. Touch anywhere to drill in.
02 / On the plant floor
Orbit X
Commercial inverter · for the facility manager / electrician
Orbit X carries a 7-inch colour touchscreen that runs the same Lucid OS, scaled up for commercial operators. Three-phase voltage and current on a single dashboard, MPPT-by-MPPT input cards, alarm history, audit logs. Built so a maintenance electrician can read a fault at arm’s length without a manual.
03 / On the battery
SafeCell
Residential energy storage · for the homeowner
Each SafeCell wears a status-ring OLED that pulses with the cell’s charge state. Solid gold when full; a slow exhale when discharging; a steady inhale when soaking up solar. State-of-charge to the nearest percent in the centre, instantaneous in / out flow on the rim. The whole wall reads like one organism.
04 / In the control room
SafeCell Hyperpack
Utility-scale BESS · for the plant operator / epc
Lucid OS Enterprise reads the same memory model the residential SafeCell does, just exposed through the protocols a utility operator needs: Modbus TCP, DNP3, IEC 61850, OPC UA. One screen, one fleet, line diagrams that animate live and a state-of-charge heatmap that lets an operator find the lagging cabinet across a 10 MW field in a glance.
05 / On the roof
Photon
HJT solar panels · for the homeowner / installer
Photon doesn’t carry a screen of its own — it broadcasts. Per-string current and voltage flow up to the Orbit it’s wired to, and Lucid OS turns the array into a coloured heatmap. The lagging panel from last Tuesday’s harmattan storm is the one shaded amber on Wednesday morning, before anyone’s climbed onto the roof.
06 / On the road
Phantom X / Nova / Flux 3
LYD mobility · for the driver
The LYD vehicles run Lucid OS on the central display. Range and state-of-charge are graphed the same way they are on Orbit at home, which means once you’ve learned one interface you’ve learned all of them. Park the car under your carport and the battery becomes part of the household ring — V2H-ready when the regulators are.
07 / In your pocket
Companion
Mobile + web · for the everyone
The companion app is where every Lucid OS surface meets. Solar generation, battery state, grid status, the car parked under your carport, the schedule that fires the geyser an hour before you wake up — all on one screen. The web console exposes the same data to installers, distributors, and fleet operators, with the multi-site view their work needs.
The brain you never see — until it’s right.
The intelligence layer
Every Lucid OS surface is fed by the same predictive kernel. Weather, tariff windows, your home’s actual load shape, the seasonal curve each Photon string has settled into — all of it informs the decisions Orbit takes a few hundred times a second.
Lucid OS ingests local weather forecasts and predicts the next 7 days of solar yield down to the hour. Your battery starts the morning at the right state of charge for the day you’re actually going to have.
Within a fortnight, Lucid OS has learned the rhythm of your home: when the kettle fires, when the AC ramps up, when the lights go off. Schedules then anticipate, not react.
Tell Lucid OS your utility tariff windows once. It charges when power is cheap, discharges when power is expensive, and — where regulations permit — sells back when it pays to.
Lucid OS knows the expected curve for every Photon string, every Orbit MPPT, every SafeCell module. The lagging cell that’s about to fail is flagged on a graph long before it shows up on a bill.
When reserves get low, Lucid OS knows the fridge keeps running and the dryer waits. Per-circuit prioritisation, configured once, applied automatically every time the grid drops.
For installers and distributors: rules-based automation across hundreds of customer sites. Push a firmware update, mute an alarm class, or rebalance a fleet of Hyperpacks from a single console.
Architecture
Energy infrastructure can’t go down when the internet does. Lucid OS is engineered the way utilities engineer their own SCADA: distributed, encrypted, redundant, and resilient to its hosts dropping in and out without anyone noticing.
Every Orbit ships with a dedicated compute module. Lucid OS runs locally on the device — the cloud is for sync, history, and remote access, not for decisions. Lose the internet, keep the lights on.
Orbit, SafeCell, Photon, and the vehicles speak a private LYD mesh over CAN, RS-485, and Wi-Fi 6. No single point of failure; the system reorganises around dropped links automatically.
Device-to-device traffic is end-to-end encrypted with hardware-rooted keys. Device-to-cloud uses TLS 1.3 with certificate pinning. Your power data leaves your house only with your permission.
Cloud down? Network down? Lucid OS keeps running. Schedules, automation rules, and SCADA endpoints all execute locally; the device catches the cloud up when the link returns.
From one home to one grid
The decision Lucid OS makes for one home in Lekki is the same decision it makes for a 100 MW BESS field in another country — just multiplied by every cabinet, string, and meter on the bus. Scale isn’t a feature you add later. It’s the architecture.
1 site
A single Orbit, one SafeCell, a string of Photon. The dashboard fits on one phone screen.
10 – 100 sites
A neighbourhood’s worth of homes, coordinated through the same companion app. Installers see them as one fleet.
1 MW
A factory or hotel with parallel Orbit X stacks, multiple Hyperpacks, and a private microgrid. Same OS, same view.
100 MW+
A utility deploying hundreds of Hyperpacks across a transmission region. SCADA-grade visibility on every cabinet.
