How to Access Cheap Rate Electricity This Winter
Most people do not realise you can run your home on cheap rate electricity all day long, even in the middle of winter.
Suppliers like Octopus Energy offer smart tariffs where electricity could drop to around 7p to 12p per kWh overnight. When you pair this with a home battery storage system, you can store that low cost power and use it throughout the day instead of paying 25p to 30p per kWh.
Here is how it works.
– Charge your battery overnight at the low rate
– Store that cheap electricity ready for the next day
– Use it through the morning and evening when rates are normally highest.
This approach is ideal in winter because solar production is naturally lower and usage is higher. A battery storage system fills that gap effectively.
With EcoFlow you can start with a 5 kWh battery and scale the system up to 15 kWh (and beyond) if your energy needs grow in the future. It is a flexible setup that adapts to your home over time. You can also connect the system to older existing solar panels or pair it with brand new panels if you are upgrading your array.
If you want to start taking advantage of these cheaper rates, our EcoFlow PowerOcean package is one of the simplest ways to do it. A 5 kWh battery paired with the 3.6 kW inverter is £3950 fully installed, and you can add on the EcoFlow PowerInsight Home Energy Monitor for just £295.
