This bloke has an inferior system to mine but he is with Octopus energy and gives real data.
For those of you that can understand basic mathematics this is a no brainer.
He has a west/east facing house which is the worst configuration and manages to run he electric car and supply his house with electricity for less than 300 pounds a year.
When you see the payback period it's amazing.
Today they use a 9.5 Kilowatt battery and 435 watt panels, and the figures are even better.
For those of you who are interested in slashing your electricity bills to almost zero or below zero I suggest you watch this and look at real world figures, with all the downside explained.

And for those wondering why their energy bills are 3x what Americans pay for their power, here is why renewables are not and never will be cheap

Slug that's the most idiotic post up to now.
You never fact checked any of it
For starters the feed in tariff doesn't exist anymore and only people on the old schemes get it, something this guy isn't aware of.
Secondly he is unaware of how the technology works and doesn't even mention flexible tariffs which is where individuals make money.
For example when you need to import electricity, you pay less for your electric and when you export you are paid more if you configure your system correctly and take advantage or the correct import and export tariffs which align to your usage.
You do what you always do, which is find something on the internet that supports your world view and post it, no matter how ridiculous it is.
This is what makes you the most unintelligent poster on here.
We pay 44c per KWh for our electric currently which is apparently largely solar and wind
America pays 17c for gas/oil and coal
My most recent energy bill was £350 in may
Cheap energy means prosperity, energy feeds into the cost of everything that is produced
Everything costs a fortune right now. How can that be if we’re all enjoying cheap, clean unlimited green energy?
Which figures from the article do you dispute and why?
My “fact check” is my energy bill
How is it £350 for a month when Britain is becoming an industrial powerhouse powered by free wind and sun?
Do you boil the kettle a lot?
Slug your energy bill is £350 a monthly because I doubt you do any energy saving, be it insulation or understand about Solar.
My house is well insulated. What I lack is cheap fossil fuel powered energy like we had in the 2010s and every decade before that in my lifetime. Like China and the other BRIC nations who are prospering all have
Since we went “green” energy is so expensive that we no longer manufacture anything and millions of people are struggling to choose between heating and eating
If solar is the answer, why isn’t it powering our grid with free energy for us all?
And which figures in Turver’s report that explains why green energy is not cheap do you disagree with?
The proof is in the expensive cost per unit pudding
Slug did you really say why isn't Solar powering the grid.
Have a read Slug, don't be an imbecile all your life.

No, what I asked is why are we paying nearly three times what our American cousins pay for grid electricity when they’re running on gas coal and oil and we’re supposedly running on renewables?
Why are renewables three times the price of fossil fuels? Read the report it will explain to it to you
Slug you understand nothing about economics
Every country differs in how tax is raised.
Also the world needs to adjust to climate change, so we do it in our way.
America is following suit, you are just so badly informed.
Also Slug you may three times more, I pay nothing in fact they pay me.
Just start learning about the changes in the world.
The world doesn’t need to adjust to “climate change” that’s why China, India and the rest of the emerging nations are laughing at us while they burn coal.
These are globalist/socialist directives designed to ruin the west and idiots like you are waving them in
You’re far too stupid to understand that subsidies are our money. We can’t all subsidise ourselves you moron. You are “profiting” from policies that will harm the poorest who can’t afford to change their heating and electric supplies
You still can’t tell me why our energy bills are unaffordably high

Why am I laying three times what in was before all this woke garbage came in and why are America not?
Make Britain 1984 Again!
/s
1984. Ya need to switch to octopus energy. They charge £0.261 kWh that would nearly half your lecky bill. Check them out.
Good morning ScotKio, he's too unintelligent to understand.
He doesn't even understand what climate change is, so he has noo chance in understanding pricing structures to combat climate change.
I got solar panels to cut my bills and they are doing exactly what I want. My last bills from octopus was £31.06 for both gas and electricity. Single live alone. Any excess is and back I get paid £0.15 a unit. Not much sent back. About £12 a month.
Your energy bills are so high because your electric cost is based on the ridiculously high gas price you are still charged.
My bill last month was £75 incl ridiculous standing charge and 2k miles of range in 3 EVs.
A friend drove round Europe this month 2250 miles £200 in charging, rapid chargers everywhere, half price of uk.
I see 6 numpties ticked your post up, they must be as delude as you.
China has more electric buses than any country they are obviously the same mindset as you.
All countries have different timescales in electrification but you are still blinkered on your Betamax journey.
