I’m with Eon Next Drive (it’s available if you have an EV or battery storage) – I get charged 7p 00:00 to 07:00 and 25p during the day for any electricity I import (so in winter I’ll charge battery and/or EV overnight on cheap rate) and I get paid 16.5p for export. So I can charge battery for 7p and immediately discharge it at 16.5p a couple of times a night if I wanted to maximise “profit”.
I considered a heat pump for heating/hot water when I replaced boiler last year but my house isn’t that well insulated so all gas boiler for that. But this system does allow for future integration for water heating.
It was a local ish installed based in Leyland. Top blokes.
The gateway in the loft is about 18″x24″.
The battery and inverter in the garage are IP rated so they can actually go outside (as they have a little heater in them to stop them freezing in winter).
It’s a very clever system that uses AI to predict behaviour and does it all without much faff.
