Does a home battery make sense in the winter? Absolutely!
Winter brings less sun, but that does not mean that a home battery has no value. On the contrary, even in the colder months a home battery offers many advantages. With the energy transition in full swing, this technology is becoming increasingly important, both for your wallet and for a stable energy network. By making smart use of rates and technology, you can also save and benefit in the winter.
Why a home battery is a smart choice in winter
-
Save with a double hourly rate
With a dual hourly rate, you can charge cheaply during off-peak hours and use this energy during the day. Even when the sun shines less, you can benefit from cheaper night rates. This is a nice extra for those who already have a home battery. -
Capacity tariff: fewer peaks, more savings
Since the introduction of the capacity tariff in 2022, a home battery can help avoid peak consumption. By charging your battery at smart times, for example at night or during off-peak hours, you can significantly reduce your peak consumption. This not only results in a lower energy bill, but also a more stable energy supply. -
Energy efficiency with a smart EMS
An Energy Management System (EMS), such as FlexiO, automates the use of your battery. This ensures that your battery is always charged and used at the right time, which provides additional convenience and savings.
Home batteries: crucial for a stable energy future
In times of high energy demand, such as during the nuclear phase-out or extreme cold, a home battery proves its worth. It can supply your home with energy during peak times or even temporarily disconnect it from the grid. This not only offers comfort and security, but also contributes to the stability of the energy grid.
Winter benefits in a dynamic contract
The biggest profit is achieved by combining a home battery with a dynamic energy contract. This allows you to make optimal use of fluctuations in energy prices. Your battery charges cheaply during low rates and provides immediate savings when prices peak. This makes a home battery a smart investment, 365 days a year.
Conclusion: Always an advantage with a home battery, even in winter
A home battery is not only useful in the sunny months, but also offers significant benefits in the winter. Saving on energy costs, reducing peak consumption, and contributing to a sustainable energy grid are just a few of the many benefits. With a dynamic contract and an EMS, you get the most out of your battery, regardless of the season.
