How are you all finding this energy rising?

Brilliant thanks Clive.
I’ve been running spreadsheets on our East West roof and was looking at:
Panels on West only ( East or East and West combinations were not so good)
4 or 6 kWp panels (in series as no shade on roof and cheaper)
6 kWh battery
Single inverter
Eddi water heater diverter
Zappi car charger (existing)
Octopus Agile tariff as this allows buy/sell every 30 mins


Undecided on AC (grid side) or DC ( panel side) for battery but leaning towards panel side as less conversions AC to DC and I think I have more control over the battery(?). Plus many more confusing questions and options!

My Battery & Charger is being fitted on the 12th Sept
The installation also includes solar panels clean.
Service every year for 10 years.
Guarantee on Bat. and charger 15 years.
Full monitoring with App.

We get paid for what we generate. I think that has been stopped now for new systems.

My panels are only 240w I think they have improved them to give out about 320 ish W

Also you could only have 4Kw on a domestic install at the time, this has now been changed. If I add more I lose the payment FIT.

The system has more than paid for itself by a long way.

Good luck with the install.
