Many energy suppliers charge fees for the feed-in of solar power. The level of these feed-in tariffs and the way they are charged differ per energy supplier. With a battery, you can store excess solar power and avoid these costs.
In turbulent times it can be nice to be more independent from the power grid and thus more self-sufficient. It is possible to add a backup function to your home battery. This ensures that you still have power available from your battery, even in the event of a power outage. This way you can still charge your electric car, for example, or keep other appliances in your home running.
By smartly controlling your battery with a dynamic energy contract, you can ensure that the battery charges with the cheap energy from your solar panels and discharges when electricity prices are high. This way you can save considerably on your energy bill.
