November Home Energy stats from

Averaged almost 30kwh a day - a lot, but we are going into the first winter with a Heat Pump, and there's an EV to occasionally charge too. Most of that is imported during the cheap period of at 7.5p/kwh

Almost 70% fossil free fuel is excellent, even in November - the 114kwh generated by the solar is still helping - that would have been £45 of day time power we would have needed to import.

@philbixby Excellent! Wall mounted panels for higher latitudes and in winter when you need all you can get. 🙂 I have batteries which I fill on low rate which lasts till midnight with no sun, as long as I don't do anything really juicy.

Got my planning spot on today. Filled the overnight to 60% on cheap tariff. Ran the house on battery all day which topped up to just under 100% from the Still 50% left in battery for a cheap car charge :-)

Here's today's graph. I pulled down 10kWhrs in the early hours at 12p/kwhr. Our generated 5kWhrs. We cooked dinner in the oven, ran the washing machine twice, etc. Battery still 40% full.

@TimWardCam I put mine in dec 2020. Got about 5 quotes all very similar pricing. But prices have went up now, old supply/demand. I saved £630 in 2021 first full year now it will be £1200 at least due to electricity price doubling. I have 4.3kwp array and 8.2kwh storage. On so charge batteries when cheap overnight in the winter and then hardly import at all. Charge Mrs electric car too overnight at 7.5p/kWh. October pic below. Notes includes charging.

We're now on our second and we love it. Currently waiting for survey for on our flat garage roof (house roof is too awkwardly shaped).
We will overprovision on because we are on the tariff and can top it up cheaply overnight. Also, batteries are only VAT zero rated when bought with solar.

Bit of a follow up on my earlier 'toot' about . The tariff is 12p/kWhr between 0300 and 0430 and 44p otherwise. So I set my and car to fill up during that time. I then run the house off batteries for 24 hours, pulling from the grid if need be (max battery output 3kW). If the forecast is sunny, I reduce the overnight fill for the batteries (guesswork) as the will top up during the day.

Loving the combination of and tariff. Filled the batteries in the early hours. Put some washing on. Topped the car up when the sun came out. Cooked tea and all the usual domestic stuff. Pulled a bit from the grid when the sun went in etc. but our bill is around 70% lower than it would be, even in November, UK. 53degN.

@drstevenhale if it needs charging then generally gets plugged in as soon as get home. We’re on a fix we took out just before the energy market madness so our kWh is way cheaper than anything on offer as an or tariff currently!
