Energy markets offer increasingly sophisticated tariffs, with prices that vary significantly depending on the time of day and the day of the week (time-of-use or multi-rate tariffs). For a traditional consumer, adapting their habits to these bands is complex and often frustrating. But for those who own an intelligent storage system like the ones developed by WECO Batteries, tariff variability becomes an extraordinary opportunity for automatic savings, managed entirely by software.
Through the intuitive interface of the NOOR App, the WECO ecosystem allows you to set a sophisticated “time-of-use scheduling” (Time of Use – TOU). The principle is simple but powerful: you can instruct the system to charge the battery by drawing energy from the grid at night, when the cost per kWh is at its minimum (band F3). During the day, especially during peak hours when energy costs more (band F1), the house will be powered by solar energy and by the cost-effective energy stored at night in the WECO battery.
This strategy, known as “energy arbitrage”, is particularly advantageous in the winter months, when solar production may not be sufficient to fully charge the battery. WECO’s proprietary BMS manages these charging and discharging cycles in an optimized way, preserving the health of LiFePO4 cells. With time-of-use scheduling, your WECO system works actively for you 24 hours a day, leveraging inefficiencies in the electricity market to guarantee you the lowest possible bill, without you having to lift a finger.
