I’ve been wondering about just battery and inverter and using an agile tariff. How large an inverter did you get and what happens at full load (oven, kettle, electric shower and hairdryer all on at same time) which is presumably combined higher than the inverter?

My inverter is 3.6KW and can put out 4KW to the home. There is a normal limit for 3.6 in the UK for max export unless you do a more complex DNO99 application so that is the typical values. Above that you pull from the grid for the excess. I can run the oven (1.5KW) and kettle (2KW) but not a hair drier in addition. You change your behaviour a little with these solutions, you put the washing and dishwasher on when you have excess power or do them at night when it's cheap,you wait for the kettle to finish before hair drying. But the price isn't really driven by these rare combined events anyway, they don't matter in the grand scheme of things as most of your needs get met by the inverter and batteries.
