Not a big surplus mind you, some of our balance is from referrals etc.
My usage:
£50 standing order
+£6003596kwh elec imported at approx 10p/kwh (combination of tracker rate for part of the year, and 7.5p off peak rate)
-£360
2290kwh elec exported at 15p/kwh
+£343
7528kwh imported gas at approx 4p/kwh (gas tracker)
-£301
Standing charges at approx. £0.76 per day
-£277
Surplus of £5
Still helps to justify the cost of solar+battery installation. (6.6kwh system, 13kw battery)
I've roughly calculated that by having the solar + battery I'm saving £1800 a year. Approx 9 years to pay back the cost of the solar and battery system. Not great by itself, but with 2 EVs and the monthly savings on both cars fuel savings, means about 4 years to repay the cost.
A large 10kw+ battery filled with a low rate evening tariff probably would make the most difference.
£50 a month plus a surplus! That’s very impressive indeed
