Overnight Power Reduction

4 Posts

Morning all,
I have Solar and battery (5.8kWh), and currently utilising Octopus Go's reduced off-peak tariff to charge my battery to 90% each morning, (an amount that reduces my peak consumption to practically zero) however, for the past 2 mornings my battery has only managed to reach 50% and 37% (the second likely due to having my dishwasher running).
Could this reduced power be due to the adverse weather conditions (Solihull has had c.10cm of snow)? Or could it be Octopus reducing the power forcing me to use more during Peak? Would Octopus have this level of control through my SMETS2 meter?

It would not be that, and no they do not.
