    I’ve got solar and batteries. Even with hardly any solar generation, I’m seeing a lot of benefit from the smart meter and Octopus’ half hourly ‘agile’ tariff.

    Last week there were several times when the price of power was negative due to excess production from windfarms. We had the batteries charging, the immersion heater going and the washing machine running.

    More usually, we make sure we are using most energy when the price is cheapest.
