My wife got a contract with our provider, we pay normal prices during the day but get 100% free power from 8 PM to I think 5 or 6 AM. Can't really complain.

- vel0city 5y agoWhat does "normal" prices man? After everything is said and done, what is your normal effective per-kWh rate? Most people I've seen with these plans only really get a good deal with a plan like that with a good solar or battery install, or are truly never at home except for those free hours.
- LoveGracePeace 5y agoShe pays the bills, she's happy, when she's happy about anything to do with money, with me burning through power with my gaming on several nights per week; it's got to be all good news. Always check to see whether your utility can work a deal.
- jatone 5y agoshit I would invest in a power wall and time shift my power usage to the night.
- caminante 5y agoThere are T&Cs like usage caps that make these deals much less valuable than the marketing conveys.
- LoveGracePeace 5y agoInteresting idea! I read caminante's comment about usage caps in context and I'd check before purchasing a powerwall but even if caps were in place with our deal; the powerwall could be nice as a sort of home UPS.
- jatone 5y agoI was looking at it for that use myself, but unfortunately power supply in my area but iirc either the differential in price didn't actually make a ROI or the pricing didn't fluctuate =(
