• Not a big surplus mind you, some of our balance is from referrals etc.

    My usage:

    £50 standing order
    +£600

    3596kwh 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.
