It's mentioned in one of their blurbs, but I guess that's not necessarily a commitment.
"Overnight & day time charging. Your battery will charge up using the greenest and cheapest energy - some of this will come from your solar and some from the grid. We will also export any excess solar if it's sunny. Your matched import and export unit rates mean your bill will be unaffected by whether your battery is charged from solar or whether you solar supports the grid and the battery charges overnight instead."
Current rates match..

This is often termed as the "infinite battery" tariff and is the closest thing the UK has to net metering.
(Unless you count trying to get Agile's monthly average down to 15p to match Outgoing's 15p export rate)- 10 x 400w LG + 6 x 550W SHARP BiFacial Panels + SE 3680 HD Wave Inverter + SE Optimizers. SE London.
- Triple aspect. (22% ENE/ 33% SSE/ 45% WSW)
- Viessmann 200-W on Advanced Weather Comp. (the most efficient gas boiler sold)Feel free to DM me if I can help with any energy saving!0 -

Alnat1 said:Cosy with 8 hours of 13.55p slots and 15p Outgoing is pretty much net metering too, factoring in 10% for battery losses.- 10 x 400w LG + 6 x 550W SHARP BiFacial Panels + SE 3680 HD Wave Inverter + SE Optimizers. SE London.

I have a home battery (6.5 kWh) and both an EV and a heat pump so I use a lot of electricity. On the Eon NextDrive V5 tariff my average electricity costs per kWh (not including the standing charge) were:
Jan 14.9p
Feb 14.0p
Mar 10.6p
Apr 8.9p
But these figures are good because I can shift a lot of my consumption to the 7 hours charged at 6.7p per kWh. Somebody else on the same tariff might not do so well.
