[QUOTE="johnb2713, post: 528582, member: 35153"] I have recently had a system fitted to my home. Growatt SPH6000 Inverter, Growatt 7 kWh battery, Hyundai panels 6.7kW, Myenergi Eddi / Harvi and Zappi. I have done extensive monitoring of my electricity use before and after installation and so far the battery is key to money saving. The system wasnt the cheapest to install (£11k), I took out a loan to cover it, so far the saving have been sufficient to cover the monthly loan payment. I make full use of charging the battery on off peak which ends at 04:30, the immersion heater is operated from the battery until the panels come to life. We seem to use around 3kWh between 04:30 and 08:00. The battery then charges from the panels and we run other things too dishwasher, washing machine and charge the cars (2 x EV). As we go into the evening time we usually have 80% ish battery capacity following cooking the evening meal. Over the last 2 months we have used 5 kWh of peak rate electricity at 29.2p, all of rest has been on 7.5p or free from the Solar. Our energy supplier raised our monthly payment from £178 per month to £465, I have now reduced this to £140 which easily covers the monthly bill which is now averaging £70. Battery storage and energy diverter are key components in my view. [/QUOTE]
