What peak valley means

Electricity cost varies by time, so charging off peak is cheaper. The dispute arises when users do not see the schedule that decided their bill. Post the time bands and rates where users actually look. A visible schedule turns a surprise charge into an expected one.

Handle disagreements

When a dispute appears, refer to the posted rule and the user's own record. Objectivity settles most arguments faster than explanation alone. Shift flexible charging to off peak windows to save, and keep records so any question is answered by data, not memory.
