I've just installed a bigger solar battery - so I thought I'd share some statistics from it.

As we move into winter, we'll switch to a dynamic electricity tariff. That will allow us to charge the battery when power is cheap and then use it when prices are high.

In my country, the power is cheap at night, and high in the day, could someone help me understand this paragraph? The article was very interesting

It is the same in the UK.

But because we have a smart meter, our energy price can change every 30 minutes. So if our provider predicts that tomorrow lunchtime will be expensive for electricity, it could charge us more. Or it could tell the battery to take over.
