What is a dynamic energy contract?

How does a dynamic energy contract work?

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.

Frank Energie and your SolarFast system

Through our partnership with Frank Energie you take out a dynamic contract that fits your solar panels, home battery or EV charger. The app shows hourly rates, often a day ahead, so you know when charging or running appliances pays off.

If you already have SolarFast panels or a Dyness battery, we include that in the quote. Your battery then charges automatically at cheap hours and you use that power when the price peaks. That is smart steering for your own bill, separate from grid control through your supplier.
