[QUOTE="johnb2713, post: 533503, member: 35153"] Its a tough one, from my perspective, I installed solar and battery this year, I do have 2 x EV too and use the wonderful Octopus GO with an off peak rate of 7.5p. Most of the time that's all I use, occasionally if the weather is bad I end up using a small amount of peak rate energy. My backup plan if the 7.5p rate should disappear is to leave the grid completely. I have a nice 20 kVA diesel generator, with an old school Perkins diesel engine, nicely silenced, it's my intention if I have to go this route to use my mothballed bio buddy to create bio diesel (used cooking oil available at 15p litre) and run the engine for a few hours in the daytime as a combined heat and power system (I have a marine heat exchanger with this in mind). I would also add some more solar panels to my garage and shed roof's. [/QUOTE]
