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.

Controlled rollout

This use case already exists in real homes, and onboarding is now underway.

The product foundation is built around conflicts like this one. Customer onboarding is paced carefully, so the next step is to review your exact device and tariff mix.

Best-fit homes onboard first

Homes where multiple devices already interact are reviewed first. Rollout is selective and supported.

Combination creates the value

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

Setup review comes first

Tell us what is installed so we can review the safest and most effective rollout path for your specific configuration.

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.

Smart controls that usually fit this problem

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.

Smart controlRecommended

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.
