Re:Is a smart electricity tariff worth it? by michaelt on Monday April 15, 2019 @12:02PM (#19666289)
The author of the article has a smart battery which (as far as I can tell) outputs 460 watts of power [1] - whereas and a fan oven can use up 2.5kW†, a kettle 3kW, a shower 8.5kW.

So unfortunately you'll be importing electricity from the grid sometimes anyway, if you want to shower or cook when it's dark.

†When the thermostat is turned on, that is. So the average consumption over an hour of operation will be lower.
