OVO Energy's Free 4 plan is another simple option for households that can move electricity consumption into the middle of the day.
Eligible customers receive four hours of free electricity every day from 11am–3pm.
Important Note – Energy Plan Sign-Up
While Sapphire Solar is happy to provide general guidance on battery-friendly energy plans, we are not able to sign customers up to an energy retailer or switch your electricity account on your behalf.
If you decide to change energy providers, you will need to complete the sign-up directly with your chosen retailer. Energy plans, rates, eligibility requirements and promotional offers can change, so we always recommend checking the retailer's current terms and rates for your address before signing up.
