Description of venture idea

Let’s sell a residential heat pump with integrated energy storage. Maybe this is a Li-ion battery pack (5 kWh should suffice), or maybe this is a system where the heat pump overcools/heats the working the fluid in anticipation of an upcoming cooling/heating load. Either way, the point is that your heat pump consumes cheap power instead of expensive peak power to cool/heat your home.
