Per year. And assumes electricity prices won't go up.
It took me half-an-hour to grab the CSV files from my monitoring, a write a scrap of Python to work out the difference in prices, then double-check my workings.
I'm happy with that ROI.
- jnty 8y ago£60/yr would be a good saving for a supplier switch, the comparision and admin from which could easily add up an hour's work. A good ROI indeed!
- JazCE 8y agoWhat do you use for monitoring your mains supply?
- edent 8y agoThe smart battery provides the monitoring. It is literally a clamp on the meter to monitor import and export, and one on the solar panel feed to measure generation. Small bit of Python to grab it ever 10 minutes.
- michaelt 8y agoWhat would your advice be to someone with no electric car, no solar battery, no solar panels, and no subsidy available on them? Is the smart tariff still a good deal?
- edent 8y agoDepends on your usage patterns. If your job means you always get home after 7pm, or if you cook with gas, then it may still be worth it.
