It’s partly about money, partly wanting to be greener. I have electric UFH, electric induction hob, plus wanting the potential to charge 1-2 EVs.
I reckon I could use virtually zero electricity from the grid in summer months, and much less in the winter.
From a current driving fuel bill of £2k, plus £1k per year electricity costs I should easily break even inside 10 years, even though EVs are more expensive to buy.
Solar Battery systems are still expensive, but without one I don’t see solar making much impact as most power will be needed outside peak light hours.
FITs have gone haven’t they?
