Overnight Tariff Arbitrage: How Much Can You Save?
Charge your Energy Equipments battery when grid power is cheapest overnight (e.g. 7p/kWh) and power your home during the day when standard electricity costs 28.5p/kWh. Run the numbers below to see your daily, annual, and 10-year warranty savings.
24-Hour Operational Cycle: How Your Battery Shifts Energy
The Energy Equipments hybrid inverter connects to your home WiFi and runs automated time-of-use scheduling. No manual switching required.
🌙 1. Fast Overnight Charge
While you sleep, the inverter pulls cheap 7p electricity from the grid, charging the LiFePO4 battery to 100% capacity in under 3 hours.
☕ 2. Morning Routine
Kettles, toasters, power showers, and electric heating turn on. The battery supplies full power instantly, avoiding standard 28.5p daytime grid rates.
☀️ 3. Daytime & Solar Top-Up
Fridges, heat pumps, and home office loads run off battery or solar PV. If solar is generating, it charges the battery for free and exports surplus to the grid.
🍳 4. Evening Dinner Peak
UK electricity hits its highest demand. Ovens, hobs, TVs, and appliances run completely off stored low-cost energy—bypassing the most expensive grid units of the day.
❄️ Why Overnight Arbitrage Guarantees 365-Day ROI in UK Winters
Integrated Sub-Zero Auto-Heating (-20°C)The biggest objection to UK solar storage is: "What happens in winter when there is no sun?" UK winter daylight yields only ~15% of summer solar output, but household heating and lighting consumption peak at their highest levels. With overnight smart tariff charging, your Energy Equipments battery operates at 100% financial capacity throughout November, December, January, and February—charging cheaply at 7p every single night without waiting for sunshine.
