Best fit
Best for battery-enabled solar homes that care about self-consumption, export timing, and whether the battery is really saving or earning money.
Decision signals
- Choose Flux when export windows and deliberate battery strategy matter every day.
- Choose Agile when the home can handle volatility and act on it automatically.
- Choose Tracker when simplicity and home protection matter more than aggressive arbitrage.
Recommended tariff playbooks
These are the tariff pages most relevant to this home profile based on the operating pattern described above.
Octopus Flux
Strong when the household wants explicit import and export windows and is willing to manage reserve versus export tradeoffs carefully.
Octopus Agile
Strong when the home can react to half-hourly prices and extract more value from flexible charging and discharge timing.
Octopus Tracker
Useful when the battery is mainly there to protect the home and smooth daily import cost rather than chase export events.

This is the core 1app.energy use case: understanding whether solar, battery reserve and tariff timing are working together or fighting each other.

This is one of the strongest SaaS acquisition pages because the value proposition is simple: stop managing three overlapping energy systems in three different tools.
Whole-home conflict detection for modern energy homes
The more flexible devices a home has, the more valuable it becomes to detect conflicts between them before they show up as cost, lost solar or poor comfort.
Smart controls that usually suit this home type
These mode pages explain how the battery strategy often changes once this home profile is clear.
Home First
A simpler home-first mode. It prioritises running the home from your own solar and battery first, minimises grid dependence, and avoids optimiser-led battery export.
Autopilot
The best starting mode for most homes. Autopilot decides when to charge, hold, or export by balancing tariff value, home coverage, refill confidence, and your protected minimum battery SoC. Choose Balanced for a calmer default or Aggressive for stronger value seeking.
