[QUOTE="pedg, post: 500644, member: 33044"] Difficult to be accurate as I am thinking of it more as a 3 part mutually beneficial thing with agile tariff, battery and EV. On the EV side depends on how often it needs charging. Currently don't drive that much but when it becomes only a couple of quid to do say a return trip to the coast then expect may drive more. If we said as an example that we got a car with a 64KwH battery and had to do the equivalent of a full charge 2 times a month. If each kW going in a 10p cheaper (often get 2 or 4 p in agile) then that's 64 x 24 x 10p that's £62 a year. But the financial part is only part of the thing as there is also the reduction in climate guilt when you do go out in it and as I said makes driving for pleasure more attractive. I expect the battery system to pay for itself in about 8 or 10 years plus obviously at the end of that time the system will still have some worth. But as with the EV as well as the financial part the battery removed (or at least reduces) the having to worry about when to do things like have the oven on or put the washing on. Can't be the only people with PV who currently go. 'Suns out, lets put some washing on' which can lead to 'lets not put the washing on yet there might be some sun later'. Having the battery means we could generally do these things whenever we wanted. The aircon thing is sort of interesting as I see there is a move to try and eventually ban the sale of new gas boilers with people being moved more towards heatpumps as domestic gas heating contributes a large fraction of the CO2 produced in the UK. If that happens then I can see variable tariffs and batteries being more attractive as even with the energy advantage of heat pumps going to be quite a few kW to heat a house. [/QUOTE]
