 M25 - closed?? - Terry
Over the last 15 years the cost of PV has fallen hugely, along with government feed in tariffs. The net effect has always been a payback period of 12-20 years.

This always seemed a less than attractive option - the returns were relatively modest, capital outlay material, no certainty that I would stay in the same house long enough to get a payback, and no confidence that if the house were sold it would be perceived as a benefit to the buyer.

It now seems that PV systems could be installed for £5-7k - rather less than the £20k it may have cost a decade ago. Batteries now seems relatively affordable - possibly an additional £3-10k depending on capacity. It would not make sense (to me) to spend £25-30k on an EV just to use its battery as a back-up - although it would represent cheap charging!
