You are looking at your own figures there and not my own. If anything I think we need more storage to manage our demand, but I'm starting with 8.3 kwh givenergy. In summer yes we would have a solar surplus but not as much as you might think. Our normal base load with just basic equipment on...

How? During the day much of the solar would be exported back to the grid if I'm not charging the car as we don't use much compared to evenings. Most of the year we would be cooking from grid energy too as we tend to eat a little later than most. Our peak usage is evenings, and then when we put...

fair enough in your case. im just speaking from my own experience. go and have a look on any social media platform though at people slating ev's, solar etc. green tech has been politicised so a lot just reject now without reason.

there are 9 of us in the house and we homeschool the kids whilst i work from home now. large fridge freezer, mechanical heat recovery in the loft, small aquarium. base load is around 300 to 400 watts.

sorry to say this but most people who don't have proper insulation are in that position because they refused it when it was very cheap and subsidised, or free! I know that from my own experience selling insulation. The amount of stupid crap I have heard is astounding. Still going on today with...

Zappi uses spare solar generation to trickle charge the car. say i'm producing 3kWh, and house is using 0.5kWh, then the charge rate would be 2.5kWh. I wouldn't always charge this way. More than happy to zap the car up quickly at night on octopus go. Same with battery, if it can't charge via...

Only one in reasonable travel distance to me has given me quotes (5 in total) so I'm likely to accept one of those. Still awaiting eon though but looking at their price guidance and what they can offer I'm likely to accept one of the quotes issued. Leaning towards 4.4 kWp setup consisting of...

I am getting that impression. When I previously enquired about solar I had no shortage of companies contacting me. So far i have only managed to get an appointment video call quote with EON, and even that wont be for another month. It's no surprise given the current circumstances.

After doing a bit of research I'm thinking fill my roof with panels and a smaller battery for now, and add to storage later. Still waiting for anyone other than EON to get back to me . My roof is around 7m x 6m south-southwest facing so would rather fill that with panels first. worked out my...

So I am almost certainly going to install solar, and probably storage too, but I am wary of the market. I just don't know who to trust. I have booked an appointment with eon just because its a larger firm, but they seem expensive. The battery they quote is givenergy so ideal, but its the...

i think they were only on the launch model here in the uk. shame really as they would cover an awful lot of my journeys.

I love the aptera but until I was sure it would be available here I wouldn't even put down a deposit. Great concept which would work brilliantly even with our gloomy winter weather. Can always give it a zap if you don't get enough rays.
