Are the occupants at home during the day or at work and school?<br /><br />Most of the ROI calculations I have seen (including those by Energy Saving Trust) assume that 50% of the generated electricity is used in the home. the solarbloggerhttp://www.solarblogger.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4477778919777007146.post-22500276277719322212013-08-13T20:03:38.929+01:002013-08-13T20:03:38.929+01:00The experience that we have is that the majority o...The experience that we have is that the majority of homes in fact export approximately 70% of their generated energy so many homeowners are 'short changed' also keeping the majority of energy in the home helps to stabilise the antiquated nation grid network helping more people to benefit from solar PV, especially those in rural areas where the DNO will not accept more self generated power.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4477778919777007146.post-87835223198173794662013-08-13T16:58:40.799+01:002013-08-13T16:58:40.799+01:00I think the tariff is the wrong way round the expo...I think the tariff is the wrong way round the export tariff should have been the greater return that way we would make our homes as eficiant as possible to get the best return.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4477778919777007146.post-55678792161093080262012-11-13T18:11:03.355+00:002012-11-13T18:11:03.355+00:00Considering the individual plot, the house concern...Considering the individual plot, the house concerned will be using less fossil fuels by using a switching unit to direct the solar energy they have produced to differing areas of the energy generation of the home - as such making it more efficient. I do however, see you point that when taken as society as a whole there is then less energy finding its way onto the grid from renewable sources.Home Extension Nottinghamhttp://www.pdarchitecture.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/home-extension-ravenshead-nottingham.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4477778919777007146.post-66567664518191259552012-11-13T18:02:53.317+00:002012-11-13T18:02:53.317+00:00I have received offers from my solar panel install...I have received offers from my solar panel installers for just such switches, and more recently a battery storage facility to store excess electricity for use at night or at times of higher demand during the day to minimise the amount of draw down from the grid. I am sure there will be many more technologies we can bolt onto our systems over the 25 year tarriff periodPaul Dayhttp://www.pd-architecture.co.uk/pdarchitecture.shtmlnoreply@blogger.com
