Is a home battery useful in winter? Absolutely!
Winter brings less sun, but that doesn't mean a home battery is worthless. On the contrary, even during the colder months, a home battery offers numerous advantages.
With the energy transition in full swing, this technology is becoming increasingly important, both for your wallet and for a stable energy grid. By making smart use of rates and technology, you can save and benefit even 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 affordably during off-peak hours and use this energy during the day. Even when the sun shines less, you can still benefit from cheaper nighttime rates. This is a nice bonus 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, such as 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), like FlexiO, automates your battery usage. This ensures your battery is always charged and used at the right time, providing added convenience and savings.
Home batteries: crucial for a stable energy future
In times of high energy demand, such as during nuclear phase-out or extreme cold, a home battery proves its value. It can power your home during peak demand periods or even temporarily disconnect 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
You'll achieve the greatest savings by combining a home battery with a dynamic energy contract. This allows you to take full advantage of fluctuations in energy prices. Your battery charges cheaply during low rates and delivers 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 isn't just useful during the sunny months; it also offers significant benefits in winter. Saving on energy costs, reducing peak consumption, and contributing to a sustainable energy grid are just a few of the many advantages. With a dynamic contract and an EMS, you can get the most out of your battery, regardless of the season.
