1st year Review of our Solar & Battery Install! Will East & West Facing Solar panels work in the UK? 

thank you very much for sharing this insight, your interest and technical ability shines through and is very useful to those such as ourselves considering a similar setup. Look forward to the next installment !

Hi Keith...will you be providing any further reviews. Always interesting especially as i am in the same area. Seeing the first quarter of 2024 well down on last year. Are you seeing the same ? Ed

Very useful. I’m an East West house too and have been looking for examples like this. Thanks for putting time into these videos.

So you generated 5,400 kWh in a year, which is a saving of £1,458 (@27p/kWh). What was your total capital investment - I must have missed it in the video? I'm guessing it was £13,500

Hi, thank you so much for all this. My system performance is incredibly close to yours, and was installed on the 21/12/2022. My system is 15 Trina panels (5,775kw array) Orientation 3.5kw facing 145 degrees from North and 2.3 kw facing 245 degrees from North. With just a 5kwh battery and a 6kw Solis Inverter, costing £10k. Payback about 8 years. Expected Results 11 months projected to 12. Generated 5.1kwh 5% below installer's quote. Self use ( usage from panels whether direct or via battery) 1,600kwh, exported 3,500kwh, consumed 4,100kwh Imported 2,500kwh. Savings about £1,200 p.a. As expected as I export nearly 3 times as much as you my savings will be less than you, who consumes alot more. FYI, trying to understand your spread sheet it does not quite add up May 23, your Solar Usage and Battery Usage does not equal Total Generated Usage. Only spotted as was trying to understand your spread sheet. Only mentioning incase you realise later and have to find out the discrepancy, only 12kwh out.

Awesome. Don't forget that the panel performance may degrade. So your under 9year estimate might end up being 10. But keen to see for sure.
