Customer story · shared with permission
Mike runs a three-phase Solis, battery and EV setup from one clearer view.
Mike's home combines a 15 kW Solis inverter, four Fogstar batteries, a three-phase myenergi Zappi and Octopus Intelligent Go. 1app.energy gives him one place to read the supported parts and automate tariff-aware behaviour where enabled.
In Mike's words
A customer view of the value.
This review came from a customer email, shared with permission and lightly edited for readability.
“Clear, reliable app for managing my home energy in one place. I use it to monitor my electricity usage, home battery, and EV charging, all on a single dashboard. The automation is the best part. It handles tariff optimisation and exports surplus back to the grid when the battery has room. Well designed overall and takes a lot of the effort out of running a modern home.”
The installed setup
The hardware stays. 1app.energy adds one clearer view.
15 kW Solis inverter
The large three-phase inverter remains the manufacturer platform for the solar and battery system.
Four Fogstar batteries
Battery state and charging behaviour sit alongside the rest of the home in one daily view.
Three-phase myenergi Zappi
EV demand appears next to battery, grid and tariff context instead of in isolation.
Octopus Intelligent Go
Tariff and daily cost context make off-peak charging easier to understand.
The practical problem
The issue was not the equipment. It was seeing how the equipment worked together.
A large inverter, battery bank, EV charger and smart tariff each expose part of the story. 1app.energy brings supported home data together so Mike can understand the day without mentally joining separate apps.
- What is the Solis inverter doing right now?
- Is the EV charging changing the battery plan?
- Is the home importing, exporting or using stored energy?
- Is the tariff window being used without another manual check?
Inside the home
Real equipment, connected around the customer.
Where the value appears
Control without constant checking.
Mike's setup is larger than average, but the value is familiar: one trusted view of the supported home, plus tariff-aware decisions where the devices are supported, verified and customer-enabled.
The whole setup in one place
Battery state, EV demand, grid import and export, home load, tariff and daily cost can be read together.
Tariff-aware control where enabled
The automation responds to tariff and battery level rather than adding another fixed manual routine.
Clear enough for daily use
The home is complex, but the customer view is not. Mike described the app as clear, reliable and well designed.
Manufacturer tools still have a place
SolisCloud and the native apps remain the right place for commissioning, firmware, specialist settings and manufacturer support.
What changed for Mike
Less manual checking across a complex three-phase home.
- Battery, EV, grid, home load, tariff and daily cost in one view
- Less app-hopping to understand a large three-phase setup
- Clearer off-peak import and EV charging context
- Tariff-aware battery charging and export behaviour where supported and enabled
Honest note: Automation depends on supported devices, verified tariff data and the settings the customer enables. Mike's story shows one real setup; exact features depend on the hardware and the signup compatibility check.
