[QUOTE="Tomr182, post: 543588, member: 36066"] I’d also think about the winter and when the sun is minimal. Will you end up with batteries that are empty and no way of filling them? The tariff I’m on there’s no tie in for it. Can leave or change tariff within octopus easy enough. Other providers and other similar tariffs as well A better tariff reduces the benefit of batteries somewhat as you can play tunes with the inverter and force charge when cheap etc it increases the pay back a lot as the difference from 19p to buy and 15p to sell is no longer a huge saving. You can make it look better by comparing buying at 19p vs buying at 34p of course as the batteries open that option up more. I didn’t want to sell to the grid but accepted the balance over the course of the year. [/QUOTE]
