[QUOTE="novelsmike, post: 544092, member: 36412"] Definitely get batteries. You use cheaper electricity at night (Octopus GO or Agile Octopus for example or if you have Economy 7) to charge up the batteries (usually to about 80% in the summer to allow some space for panel generation). You charge them too during the day through the panels. My problem is that once the batteries are full during the day when the sun is out, I feed the grid for nothing though I am investigating going to Outgoing Octopus to get something back. However you need an MCS certificate and DNO letter (from your installer) to sign up for this. [/QUOTE]
