Use caseWhole-home workflow

Solar, battery and EV charging in one app

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.

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

Best fit

For households where the car, battery and panels all need to share the same cheap windows, solar surplus and reserve strategy.

Friction today

  • Each system optimizes itself and ignores the others.
  • Users cannot tell whether solar surplus went to the home, battery, EV or grid without manual reconstruction.
  • Tariff-driven charging often helps one device while harming another.

What improves

  • Unify solar generation, battery state and EV charging in one home-level timeline.
  • Measure daily flows across home, EV, battery and grid without spreadsheet work.
  • Build a clearer view of where cheap energy is going and whether it was used well.

Typical workflow

  1. 1

    Connect solar, tariff and charger context.

  2. 2

    Review how charging, reserve and self-consumption interact across the day.

  3. 3

    Use the insights to reduce overlap and improve overnight planning.

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 controlRecommended

Autopilot

The best starting mode for most homes. Autopilot balances when to charge, hold, or export by weighing tariff value, later home coverage, forecast solar, and your protected minimum battery SoC so profitable export should not create later high-rate import.

Smart controlHome-first

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.
