One savings case relies on a particular overnight rate and daily full charging.

A bill total cannot show when electricity is used. Sketch a typical Reading evening before deciding how much battery capacity to buy.
START WITH THE PROPERTY

For a Reading battery enquiry, sketch when the house uses most electricity and whether daytime solar is exported. Recent bills help, but a daily rhythm makes the proposed usable capacity easier to judge.
BEFORE YOU ACCEPT A QUOTE
Interrogate the savings example
Ask which tariff, solar output and cycling pattern the model assumes. If one of those is hypothetical, request a second case using your current setup so the benefit is not presented as certain.
ILLUSTRATIVE QUOTE COMPARISON
What if the tariff changes?
Another shows the current tariff, expected solar surplus and a lower-use case.
THE DECISION
Compare the assumptions you control with those that may expire. The battery should still have a credible role if one tariff disappears.
