The Interconnected Home Energy System

Modern homes are no longer passive energy users. They generate, store, shift, and respond. Solar panels, batteries, EVs, heat pumps, and smart tariffs form a flexible system that interacts with the grid.

This isn’t about gadgets — it’s about behaviour. Electricity flows between components. Tariffs influence timing. Homes become active participants in a more resilient energy network.

The diagram below shows how these elements connect. It’s not a product pitch. It’s a system map.
