Don't know if the OP was from the UK, but UK night rates are of the
order of half the day rate (though you have to pay a higher day rate to
qualify!), but only for 7 hours. I do wonder if it would be possible
now to set up a battery/inverter/load sharing system sufficiently
cheaply to lower the cost of daytime use significantly. Probably
illegal though.
