📈 Simulation Details
Assumptions:
  • 15kWh capacity (3× Duracell Dura5 5.12kWh)
  • 90% usable capacity (10-100% DoD)
  • 90% round-trip efficiency
  • Blended rate: 28.42p/kWh
Notes:
  • Based on your actual 30-day history
  • Real savings may be higher with Flux tariff optimisation
  • Doesn't account for seasonal variation
  • Summer months will show better returns

⏰ Optimal Battery Schedule for Flux
🔋 CHARGE (Cheap: 16.93p)
  • 04:00 - 07:00 (3 hours)
  • 13:00 - 16:00 (3 hours)
  • 22:00 - 00:00 (2 hours)
⚡ DISCHARGE (Peak: 39.51p)
  • 16:00 - 19:00 (3 hours)
  • Power home from battery
  • Avoid expensive peak grid
☀️ SOLAR PRIORITY
  • Daytime: Store excess solar
  • Evening: Use solar first
  • Export only when full

Key Insights:
  • Flux has a 22.58p arbitrage spread plus 28.73p peak export rate
  • Go has cheap overnight rates but smaller spread for arbitrage
  • Flux offers better export rates which boosts returns if you export
  • Agile rates vary - can be very profitable on high-spread days
  • Flexible has no arbitrage benefit (flat rate)

🌍
Scottish Highlands Factors:
  • Summer: Up to 18+ hours daylight, solar panels can generate 15+ kWh/day. Battery captures excess for evening use.
  • Winter: Only ~7 hours daylight with low sun angle. Battery value comes mainly from tariff arbitrage, not solar storage.
  • Heat Pump: Major consumer in winter (~35 kWh/day), minimal in summer (~2 kWh for hot water only).
  • Best ROI: Summer months provide best battery returns due to excess solar capture.
