What is a dynamic energy contract?
How a dynamic energy contract works, with hourly prices that move with the market, and how it pairs with solar panels and a home battery.
With a dynamic energy contract the electricity price changes per hour, in step with the market. Use power smartly during cheap hours and you can save, especially with a home battery or smart charging.
How does a dynamic contract work?
Instead of a fixed rate, you pay the price that applies on the market each hour. Sometimes power is cheap at night or midday, sometimes expensive in the evening peak. An app shows the hourly prices, so you can shift use to favourable moments.
Opportunities and risks
The upside: you benefit from cheap hours. The downside: the price is less predictable than a fixed rate. For those who can plan use, or automate it, the benefit often outweighs the swing.
Together with panels, battery and charger
A dynamic contract comes into its own with storage or smart charging. You charge your home battery or car when power is cheap and use it when power is expensive. SolarFast partners with Frank Energie, so your generated and purchased power are matched smartly.
