I’ve posted before about getting solar & battery, and while it’s a little off topic I thought it might be of interest to some.
I've now had my solar and battery for just over 10 months and I thought I'd share some stats. For reference my system is 5.2kwp of solar (JA Solar) & 7.2kwh of battery (Pylontech). The system is a Moixa Smart Battery, so needs no management from me. I don't have a PV Diverter or Solar EV charger - Hot Water heating and EV charging is done off-peak. I'm on Octopus Go (7.5p/30.9p soon to be 12p/39.95p).
My off-peak EV charging has given me around 7,365 miles for a cost of under £160 and my household electricity cost (excluding standing charge) for the last 10 months has been £270, so I've saved around £712 so far this year just on household electricity and that’s before I count petrol savings
Overall I can say I'm pleased with my setup, how its performing and the benefits its returning.
