I time-shift some power usage, as incentivised by my energy company. When that's not possible, there's whento.info (Tell me when to run...), which finds "lowest carbon time to run your dishwasher" (etc).

My take away from @Goul's post is: you don't need solar for it to make a lot of sense to have a home battery? (Solar being a bonus or possibly “profit centre” 🤪)

We time-shift home devices onto a mains timer on that tariff, but going all in on the home battery sounds a lot smarter.
