How Battery Arbitrage Works
Charge Overnight
Battery charges from the grid at 7-10p/kWh during cheap overnight hours while you sleep.
Power Home at Peak
Discharge battery during peak hours at 25-35p/kWh instead of buying expensive grid electricity.
Export Excess
Export surplus energy to the grid during peak demand for additional income on top of self-use savings.
