What are Dynamic Tariffs?

Under dynamic tariffs or time-of-use rates, an electricity provider can charge you different rates for power depending on what time of day you're using it. At peak hours (usually afternoons and evenings), power is more expensive because it's in high demand. At off-peak hours, the rates drop, making electricity cheaper.
Dynamic Tariffs
Benefits of Dynamic Tariffs
  • Cost savings: Consumers can reduce their electricity bills by shifting high-energy activities to off-peak hours.
  • Earning Money: Charging your energy storage system during negative pricing is not just cost-effective, but actually profitable.
  • Grid stability: Strain on infrastructure can be reduced, and grid efficiency enhanced, by spreading energy demand across peak and off-peak times.
  • Environmental impact: Reducing peak loads means fewer power plants need to be constructed and operated.
  • Renewable energy integration: Supports the integration of renewable energy sources by incentivizing usage when clean energy is more abundant.

FAQ about TOU

Why are Dynamic Electricity Tariffs important?

Dynamic Electricity Tariffs promote energy conservation, offer cost savings, and ensure grid stability. They incentivize the use of renewable energy and empower consumers to manage their energy consumption and costs effectively. Moreover, they support environmental sustainability by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

What is the cheapest time of the day to use electricity?

Off-peak hours, when prices are low, are typically near the range of 10 PM to 6 AM. However, specific times may vary depending on your location and your energy provider's pricing strategy.

How does a Zendure energy storage system take advantage of dynamic electricity tariffs?

Hyper 2000 and Solarflow Ace 1500 have bi-directional charging and discharging capabilities, enabling efficient storage and consumption of energy. Through the smart pricing mode in the Zendure app, these energy storage systems can be charged when electricity prices are low, and use the energy stored in the batteries to power household devices when electricity prices are high. This optimizes power usage and saves on energy costs.

What is a negative electricity price? Can I actually earn money?

A negative electricity price is when the cost of generating electricity exceeds the price at which it can be sold. This can occur when there is a surplus of electricity supply and a lack of demand. If you use electricity when there is excess supply, you get profit instead of incurring costs. Take advantage of negative electricity prices to charge your Hyper 2000/SolarFlow Ace 1500 and not only do you get profit, but you also store electricity for home use.
