Hi guys is the in roof lighter than on roof?

Seems to be solar only worth it if you have an electric car aswell?

Are you able to advise what company you went with for your panels and battery?

Why can’t he say the word battery? 😂 Baaerrie, baa erry. bah haerreay. Let use the t’s! 😮 Give energy had it in the bag until they did the cable fiasco last last year! other customers resent that rug puller after committing to big spends! Sneaky tactics!

I'm sick of hearing about this climate crisis 🐂💩

People should looking at the whole con as a way of getting out and off the system. The system is corrupt. We need to be making ourselves self sufficient and nothing to do with the grid.

Why can you only use 3kw as a draw off?

Also….do you think the system will not increase the night time pence per KW? 🙈

The battery storage and release is key here!

Great content, would love to see more content like this, as well as DHW setups, Air Source Heat Pump, Ground Source and Air to Air and Solar content 🙏

that's a pretty good price. I paid 15K for an on roof 4kw array with a Tesla power wall 2, although the cost for the battery went up 1,200 due to inflation and change in GBP to USD. I also have 4kw on a FIT tariff which averages 1500 a year payment to me. So the new array plus battery should put me back to the position I was in before the rise in energy costs which is that I should get more money back than it costs me. Before the price rises my electric bill was 1200 per year, so I was 300 better off. We don't have gas or oil. it is definitely worth getting solar and battery, or battery on its own.

Lots of misleading info in this film. There's no way Alan's solar system could provide power to ten houses! His understanding of his system is naive and basic. Go back and film what's happening to his system and his tariff between Nov- March. The way to get ahead in the energy games we will encounter going forward is to generate and use as much energy as you can yourself, at the time of generation. Batteries are a bit of a misleading entity, for the simple reason that when you need the battery the most (ie. winter or night-time), their recharge is only economically viable on the sun shining and getting it for free, or cheap overnight rate. For most people who have spent between £15-20K and also charge a car, their investment payback time will increase UNLESS cheap overnight energy rates continue. Every video I have watched on people calculating their payback time on investment also leave out ONE vital piece of information…..that is how the system has been financed. If from savings, then you have to discount the interest that money would have made. If the system has been financed from a loan, then it's even worse.

A really engaging, interesting and informative video.

What happened about showing the zapping charger & electric car setup. 🤔😵‍💫

Obviously when it snows there'll be no output

What about adding a small wind turbine on the roof- how feasible is it with planning permission

Hi from what you said in your video that you can only draw 3kw max from your battery’s at one point is that how the battery is designed only as your inverter is far greater than 3kw ,or is that a standard draw amount from all types of batteries ,also your install price is amazing, try and do that now, I think companies supplying renewable systems,should offer 0% finance ,so the customer instead of getting a quote for solar ,etc ,then having to try and finance through your bank ,if it was done as a combined package,that would make the process,so much simpler 🤔

Alan, how are your panels connected. South and west. 2 series strings ? Do you get any shaded problems

That's not a bad price really for what you have had done.
The prices are not that bad still, I install PV, and we install 4kw systems with a 5kw battery for £8k, so it's worth doing for anyone who can afford it

Hi Allen, great information and video, can you tell me what kind of heating do you have. thanks Dan

Am I allowed to build my own battery (48volt) and connect it? I ask this because I have an entire car battery set of modules
(60ah pouches arranged as a 15s 4P battery. 9.7kwh to 15.1kwh)
I can build 6 of these
Or, do I have to buy a certified battery☹️?
Can I get round this by setting up a switchable system to charge the car and power my power hungry appliances, which are in the garage anyway, and could be switched from grid supply to battery supply?

i subsrcibed mate. keep it up

i love these types of content

A battery makes zero sense when you can sell energy at the same price as you buy it. The grid effectively becomes your battery.

There's an ethical argument against batteries as well (shortage of Chinese Lithium can offset more emissions in cars vs. a house with solar PV). And there's an even larger argument against poor quality Chinese brands.

MyEnergi Zappi / Eddi are excellent.

I'd love to know how much this would cost now to set up vs costs saved over the life time of the equipment. Obviously batteries, inverters, and panels etc all have a lifespan were they are still efficient enough to be viable. Looking at his supplier no way could you get this for 17k just one month on, it appears to be in excess of 30k now.

So what happens when there is a power cut as it is a grid tied system and it all shuts down to protect the grid, all you will have is what is in your batteries if you have a 12v outlet?
