We are having solar panels and battery installed in May. We are high usage (bill is currently £300 a month!) so hould get pay back quicker than most.

System to consist of following ;
6.24KWp (16 x 390wp Panels) system complete with all electrical components/Labour/roof access
All associated isolators and control wiring
SOLAR-EDGE 5.0KWp Inverter and 16 X Power Optimizers
All relevant warranty’s – certification, Building control and Western Power notifications
1 x 10KWh Solar-Edge Battery complete with all electrical wiring and components

We also have the system that turns on our immersion heater when there is excess generation. Estimation is 6.36MWh per year.

I am considering solar panels and battery soon.
With expected increases in energy prices, and a plug in hybrid and electric car in the next 1-2 years, its making some sense.

Getting some quotes on east/west split 16-20 panels at approx 400w each.
6kw inverter
Tesla powerwall 2 13.5kw battery
Car charge point

So far it seems to be around £16500 or so for the above.

Very rough calculations suggest that if we manage to save 6mw a year on purchased electricity at 40p a kw, then I would recoup costs in about 6 years and 10 months.

Also thinking of adding a solar suplus connected controller for the immersion heater.

Aiming to find a reputable firm that offers 0% finance. 0% finance makes a lot of sense while we have high inflation.
