You can then discharge the battery to its full potential to use power in your home, but not to export to the grid from the battery. Note that this mode still works with Octopus's Tesla Energy Plan as any power exported to the grid from your solar or battery is automatically limited to the rate agreed by the DNO.
As mentioned above, you can charge your battery strategically. GivEnergy home batteries will charge and discharge intelligently by default, taking advantage of cheaper energy rates. However, you can also take a more hands-on approach by setting schedules and timers around your energy usage and lifestyle.
Sure, you can view how much energy you have saved/spent, but that’s about it. On the other hand, you can enjoy finer control over energy consumption with the smart power strips. With features such as schedule, sleep, and timer, you can control the times when the devices switch on. Besides that, some power strips come with nifty stand-by features.
Power strips are life and space savers for connecting multiple devices to a single power source. And a power strip with surge protection helps to keep disaster at bay by shielding and protecting the connected devices from random power spikes. But it’s 2021, and the equipment and devices you use should also help you save both money and energy.

In the first instance, a storage battery can take its charge from renewables. (I.e., from solar panels, or wind or hydro turbines.) So, you can charge your battery using free, green sources. And, because the energy from renewables is intermittent, a storage battery allows you to harness it more efficiently for consistent use.
