 M25 - closed?? - smokie
I had the opportunity to add batteries late last year when I had to have my PV invertor replaced. I didn't bother and am still not really regretting it, as the spend is not inconsiderable so it took quite a few years to recover your outlay. This may become more viable if electricity remains expensive on a permanent basis, but I somehow doubt it will.

I'm doing fine from PV but that is more to do with the government grants than using my generated power. I only have a modest array and the best I have ever seen in a day is below 20 kWh and this year (for example) I've only exceeded 10 on 102 days, which means less than 10 on 161 days. With (next to) no govt grant it would seem to not be a very efficient use of cash to me.

We are already at the point where you can use your EV as a battery to run your house or feed into the grid (if you have the right car/EVSE) which I suppose reduces the capital outlay if you were getting an EV anyway.
