Is solar battery storage worth it?
But you could pair it with a time-of-use tariff that offers cheaper electricity at certain times of day, which you could use to charge your battery and use when the grid costs more. However, it may take a while to break even on the cost of the battery. See our Economy 7 and EV tariffs guides for more info on time-of-use tariffs.
