Using battery storage to buffer heat-pump demand

Learn how battery reserve and tariff choices can be planned around heat-pump demand with supported Daikin onboarding in 1app.energy.

How sign-up works

This already runs in real homes, and supported homes can sign up today.

1app.energy is built around conflicts like this one. Start by choosing your inverter; supported homes create an account straight away.

Start with your inverter

Supported Solis, LuxpowerTek, Sunsynk and SigEnergy homes create an account straight away; other setups join the compatibility list.

Combination creates the value

Whole-home value comes from how devices work together, not from any single device in isolation.

Add your devices during setup

EV chargers, heat pumps, hot water and your tariff are added after sign-up, and each one shows what it supports.

Best fit

For households using a battery to manage the peaks and unpredictability created by electric heating.

Friction today

  • A battery can be emptied too early if export or off-peak logic ignores later heating demand.
  • Heating-heavy evenings make reserve strategy more important than generic arbitrage advice.
  • Most products do not connect battery logic to actual heat-pump behaviour.

What improves

  • Plan reserve protection around known heating demand and expensive tariff periods.
  • Review available battery and grid evidence against the home's heating schedule.
  • Choose a strategy that balances comfort, resilience and tariff opportunity with Daikin heat-pump context in the same home-energy view.

Typical workflow

  1. 1

    Review the heating schedule alongside available battery, grid and tariff evidence.

  2. 2

    Estimate how known heating demand affects reserve needs and evening import.

  3. 3

    Use those observations to plan protection floors and cheap-window charging, then add Daikin during onboarding or from Devices.

These mode pages explain what battery strategy tends to work best once this use case shows up in a real home.

Smart controlHome-first

Home First

A simpler home-first mode. It runs the home from your own solar and battery first and avoids automatic battery export.

Autopilot

The best starting mode for most homes. Autopilot charges when power is cheap, keeps battery back for the home, and can export spare battery power when prices are high.
