blog! “One Year With A Solar Battery”
To recap, we have 5,040W of solar panels, with a 3.6kW inverter, and a 4.8kWh battery. That's a lot of (expensive) gear! What does it mean in terms of energy savings? Over the last 12 months we have: 4,000 kWh generated by the solar panels. 2,100 kWh purchased from the grid. 1,200 kWh sold to […]

@Edent very similar story here. 5.6kwp, 5KW inverter, 9.6kwh of batteries. And we drive a Nissan leaf. I’ve given up trying to calculate the savings / payback as it’s so complicated, but it performs very well and we rarely touch peak electricity. I’m on octopus intelligent go and last month our gas, car charging and electric “cost” was £86 profit. On a fully sunny day we’ll generate 33kwh off the panels.
