With rising electricity prices, the simplest way of maximising your return is to use as much of your self-generated electricity as you can. Small changes in routine such as running the dishwasher during the day rather than overnight will help achieve this.
The falling cost of batteries and rising electricity prices have made battery storage a viable proposition in order to store excess electricity for later use rather than export it to the grid. Please see our battery storage page for more information.
A simple and cost effective option is to add a “solar switch” to your solar PV system which will divert any self-generated electricity from your solar PV array to an immersion heater in your hot water tank. For a typical household, this will provide all domestic hot water from the middle of Spring to the middle of Autumn making a saving of around £100 against the cost of heating by a gas boiler.
