How much did your battery cost? We’re incredibly lucky got our housing association to fit 4kw of solar panels to the roof.
We live in a 1930s semi at the coast, previous tenants were always smoking weed so never let anyone in to do anything. In 6 months of moving in we got
New roof, new windows, new insulation walls and loft, whole building repointed.
The the oil boiler died and we got a heat pump and rads installed.
Got a disabled facility grant for a driveway at the back as was parking on mud new wet room, kitchen and a small patio with ramp plus no step doors.
Sorry to go on above but wanted to paint the full picture. With all the above our air source heatpump the house sits at 21C all day every day plus lovely hot water.
Between that standard electricity use and the Enyaq charging our bill we pay £150 a month.
The solar panels mean when the sun’s out our bill is zero all day regardless unless charging the car.
I would love to add my own battery but it’s something I’ll have to save for there’s no help for non home owners for any of these things.
Solar and our heat pump is the best thing ever. The safety and freedom from worry those solar panels give is immense, I’d love to add more too maybe one day if I get a battery as I’ll need a hybrid inverter then anyway so….
Anyone in a housing association house, ask you might get told yes, anyone who owns their home I’d say do it if you can you’d have to crazy not to, the new panels are so powerful and reliable
