Who else is thinking of installing a battery storage system which pays for itself in 3 years?
Richard Brunning@richardbrunning
My electric tariff falls to 5.5p/kWh overnight in a couple of weeks. The daytime rate is 35p though so I figured a 12kw inverter coupled to a 15kwh battery charged at the overnight price can be used during the day. ROI is 3 years... No brainer surely.
English
@eV_Newt @AdyG28 @Eddystone506 😄😄😄
We use about 5kWh a day when we're away in the summer.
So the extra 7kWh in February was Sharon keeping the aquarium fish warm by putting the heating on!
Got a 60W tank heater now.
English
@HullTeslaModel3 @AdyG28 @Eddystone506 Fridges and freezers and cameras don’t use much power. I have all of them and the baseload is ~500W 🤪
You sure your neighbours haven’t all tapped in to your supply? 🙃
English
𝕏 really should have a button that unfollows everyone that unfollowed you
English
@eV_Newt @AdyG28 @Eddystone506 We have a lot running year round... multiple fridges/freezes. So many cameras all sucking up power.
This video shows it dropping the last time we were away.
But granted it was a bit high, as we were keeping fish warm in the living room! Since bought a tank heater 🐠
English
@HullTeslaModel3 @AdyG28 @Eddystone506 12kWh baseload a day? On what? 😳
I charge everything up on the cheap off peak night rate year round and export pretty much all of the solar generation rather than use it.

@TonyLaneNV Our Fanta is nasty stuff, far too healthy! 😄
Can't beat US or Mexican Fanta as a treat 👌
English
UK vs USA FANTA TEST… PEOPLE ARE TALKING
A woman compared Fanta from the UK and the U.S. - and the difference shocked her.
She says the UK version has way less sugar, and couldn’t believe how sweet the U.S. one tasted…
Her reaction?
“What are they putting in this?”
Same brand.
Two completely different experiences.
Do you drink Fanta… or any soda at all? ⬇️ 🇺🇸

@psbroke @Eddystone506 I'm still waiting on my sock/underpant budget to be approved for the year! 😆
English
@eV_Newt @AdyG28 @Eddystone506 Indeed I did!
The only excess would be when we're not here, the 13 weeks a year on holiday.
Background draw is about 12kWh a day when we're away, so not a lot to sell back really 😁
English
@HullTeslaModel3 @AdyG28 @Eddystone506 Are you including in your calculations how much you’d get paid for all the excess you’ll generate and get paid for? My export payment is 900 quid a year.
The big savings though come when you also switch from fossil cars to eVs. Which you’ve already done of course.
English
@abzpaul @MacAskill00 @Eddystone506 As you know I've no retirement plans... so every penny other than holidays, and general living go into an investment pot... in the hope I can retire before I'm 80! 😂
English
@HullTeslaModel3 @MacAskill00 @Eddystone506 Had me looking at last year's figures. We use around 10000kwh in the year(6000 from the grid) and exported 3500 (paying us >£500) We have 2 EVs and charge overnight when needed. We have 17kwh storage (Givenergy) to charge etc. We think its paid for itself in good time!

@psbroke @Eddystone506 Fair enough 😀
Sharon would demand the maths in writing first!!
Only way would be to finance it, so our outgoings would become a lot more expensive.
English
@HullTeslaModel3 @Eddystone506 Charge overnight at 3.5p kW from 01 April, makes the EV's 1p a mile and 27kW of Powerwall storage runs house (not quite all year but that's another story!) Solar goes back to grid at 12p kW. Not done the maths as RoI was not a consideration, just 30 years of very small bills!
English
@andrewdoug510 @NevrEnoughX @elonmusk $382 last time.
$372 today!
😩😄😄😄😄
Got to be worth more in five years... maybe!
English
@davidjamesdj @eddify @AvonandsomerRob @PapasFishNChips Never tried the Golden Grid Dave 😁
Great batter.
Fried in dripping.
English
@HullTeslaModel3 @eddify @AvonandsomerRob @PapasFishNChips Is it better than the Golden Grid down the road in Scarborough Rich ?
English
My local Chippy is charging £18.50 for a large Haddock, Chips & mushy peas.
Are you cutting down your visits to the chippy on Fridays, or switching out the fish for a sausage or pie to save cash?
English
English
@MacAskill00 @Eddystone506 Excellent.
Great position to be in! 👌
English
@HullTeslaModel3 @Eddystone506 5.5 years for me. Charge at night on OI, runs the house during the day in winter. Summer, runs the house, and export from the solar to the grid.
English
@eddify @AvonandsomerRob @PapasFishNChips Last remaining one on the outskirts of Hull 😄
But indeed same family chain as the one at Cleethorpes.
Can't beat it for value and quality.
English
English
@Tedisiek @Eddystone506 The 7p a kWh is really the "cheat code" 😁
Daughter recently bought an EV, but I doubt she'll be saving anything on fuel, as she's always charging on rapid chargers.
Rented house, so can't have a wall charger.
English
@HullTeslaModel3 @Eddystone506 That would work well for us then. Don’t think public charging would ever happen as it’s mostly lots and lots of short trips. 😀
English
@eddify @Eddystone506 I'm no expert, but I believe that the pay back time reduces if you add PW expansions as part of the install, as the price per kWh drops (I think).
Would be nice to have.
Can't remember the last powercut here, but can see the benefits.
English
@HullTeslaModel3 @Eddystone506 The way I'm calculating for us is not just the raw financial ROI,but to what other QoL benefits it brings, e.g. getting 3x Tesla Powerwall 3's means we have proper power cut backup, able to use the washing machine and dryer during the day,and able to use the AC all day too
English
@Tedisiek @Eddystone506 Home charging, probably 1.5p to 2p a mile, so it beats any diesel. We owned a BMW diesel before the first Tesla.
Across in France on public charging we're probably looking at 7p a mile, which again isn't bad.
If we were public charging in the UK, easily equal to diesel 😁
English
Ah. That includes fuelling a car! Totally overlooked that aspect.
In terms of running costs. How does your Tesla compare to say a very economical diesel? We do around 1000kms a week (going nowhere) and spend around €350 on diesel across 2 cars.
My wife has arranged to go and look at a 2018 model S and a 2021 model 3 next week. Would have to have a separate meter installed so we can charge our LTD company for charging.
