[QUOTE="HomerJay, post: 533468, member: 35451"] Hear me out.. Once more and more people start installing batteries and PV systems and the electricity companies start to feel their daytime usage profits slipping, what’s to stop them simply raising their off peak prices substantially or dropping them altogether to keep their profits high? Many household PV install decisions (including mine) are being made on the availability of that sweet 7.5p rate but if that should go up to say, 22.18p (like Outfox the market’s off-peak tariff), would the investment in solar make much sense in the winter months? Are the energy companies legally obliged to provide a cheap off-peak tariff to anyone or did it startup in the ‘70s just to raise a little extra business for night-time grid latency? [/QUOTE]
