Cut your energy bills by up to 60%
Buy energy from the grid when it’s cheapest
Make the most of your solar power by storing excess
Reduce grid reliance and protect against power outages
With Octopus Flux, you can take advantage of flexible rates designed to help you optimise your energy usage. By adding a battery storage system, you can store energy from the grid when it’s cheapest—such as during the Flux rate window from 02:00 to 05:00, when electricity costs as low as 12.99p/kWh—and use it later during peak times, like between 16:00 and 19:00, when prices rise to 30.31p/kWh.
These rates are based on a Derby postcode. Ensure to check the rates for your own postcode.
One major benefit is avoiding high electricity costs during peak times. With a battery system, you can charge up during the night at the lowest Flux rate and run your home during the expensive periods of the day without paying peak prices, giving you greater control over your energy bills.
Even without solar panels, a battery system lets you draw electricity from the grid at off-peak times and store it for use when prices are higher. This is ideal for households with higher energy demands in the evening or anyone wanting to avoid peak rates. It also helps balance the national grid, making your energy usage more efficient and sustainable.
Stay powered up when the lights go out
Next time there’s a blackout, imagine staying powered up while your neighbours light their candles! You could be catching up on the latest episode or getting through the laundry, without a care in the world.
Batteries let you be self-sufficient and avoid relying on the national grid’s inconsistencies. While power in Derby and its surrounding areas, and the UK in general, is usually quite reliable, outages can still happen—and when they do, they’re a major hassle.
Whether you’re on an important work call, watching Derby County play a big match, or simply keeping your freezer full, a power cut can spell disaster. With battery storage from MYE Renewables, you’ll always be prepared for the unexpected.
Moving house? Your battery can come too!
Thinking of moving home? Taking your solar system with you can be a bit of a challenge—it involves some costs and effort to remove and reinstall everything.
But a battery? Much easier! A battery storage system is relatively straightforward to move between properties.
If you’re thinking of installing solar and battery systems but have plans to move soon, we often suggest starting with the battery. You can have the battery installed in your current home in Derby or the surrounding areas, and then fit the solar panels once you’ve settled into your new place.
That way, you can start enjoying savings from day one and add the benefits of solar energy once you’re settled. It’s the best of both worlds!
There’s never been a better time to invest in battery storage for your home in Derby and its surrounding areas. The UK government is eager for more households to adopt this innovative technology and is offering some fantastic incentives to help you make the switch.
One of the best perks? No VAT on battery storage installations until 2027. That’s 0% VAT—whether you’re installing a brand-new battery system, expanding the capacity of an existing one, or adding a battery to your current solar setup. It’s a great saving, making it more affordable to future-proof your home’s energy needs.
This VAT relief even applies if you’re retrofitting a battery to an existing solar system. So, if you’ve already invested in solar panels and want to add battery storage or upgrade your setup, you can take advantage of this incentive without worrying about extra tax costs.
At MYE Renewables, we’re here to help you understand and make the most of these government incentives, ensuring you get the best value for your investment. We’re all about making your transition to greener, more efficient energy as smooth and cost-effective as possible.
So, why wait? Take control of your home energy today with support and savings every step of the way.
