Use-case library

Use cases for solar, battery, EV, hot water and tariff homes.

These guides explain the problems modern UK homes actually hit: unclear energy reports, eddi diversion, battery timing, tariff windows and EV-battery conflicts.

How sign-up works

These are the energy conflicts 1app is built around.

Each use case below is a real problem in modern UK homes. The daytime Octopus EV-battery conflict is the clearest Solis control use case. The rest shows where 1app.energy adds value through reporting, monitoring and whole-home context.

Real conflicts, not theory

Every use case here is built around documented home-energy conflicts, not generic landing-page claims.

Check it matches your home

Use these pages to see whether your home already has the problems we solve before you sign up.

Mixed-device homes first

The best-fit homes are the ones where multiple devices already interact badly: solar, battery, EV, grid and tariff together.

Current use cases

Each page explains the operational problem, the whole-home consequence and where 1app.energy adds value across tariffs and devices.

Whole-home use case

Solar hot water with myenergi eddi in one home-energy view

See eddi hot-water diversion separately from household and EV demand, understand whether the energy came from solar, battery or grid, and keep boost controls within the supported boundary.

Whole-home use case

Smart tariff EV charging without home energy conflicts

When EV charging is cheap, it can still be operationally expensive if it competes with battery reserve, heating demand or export value elsewhere in the property.

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.
