I had solar and battery installed a few months ago. If you search on here I did a post about it.
I’m on Eon Next Drive tariff, cheap rate midnight to 7am. Even in the worst of winter, e.g. for the last week my panels have been covered in frozen snow, but with battery storage I’ve never had to draw from the grid at daytime rate.
I’m really pleased with my set up. I’ve got my system set up to charge, discharged, charge, discharge, then charge my battery overnight. I import at 6.9p and export at 16.5p so make about £1.40 per night “profit” not even accounting for selling excess solar. This speeds up the pay back period (should be under 8 years) but obviously you do need to balance this with battery wear and tear.
I’ve had my EV for 2 months now and I’m charging 250 miles for £4.20 so that’s a big saving on fuel too.
