Stuart the solar payment is very tempting but can you tell me how long you get cheap electricity and when? Do you get 24hrs a day at 7p but not for the rest of the house, if so when do you charge your battery? I haven’t decided who to go to so open to other providers.
Brydo, the 7p per KW is 24/7 for the car only and the house is 21p per KW 24/7. There’s no cheap rate for the whole house, just the car. The battery is charged via the solar panels and this is our first summer but we’re producing enough to run the house during the day off of the solar, as well as top the battery up to 100% and export to the grid, and when the sun goes down the house is run off of the battery. Apart from charging the car at 7p, we’ve run the house from the solar this summer and earned money from OVO which we left in the account in order to try and cover the winter – we’ll see! 😏 What happens with the car charging is that you are charged the full amount for the electricity used and then given a rebate the following month once they’ve worked out the exact amount of electricity used to charge the car. It works fine. Kaluza are the company behind it.
Happy hunting 👍
