The issue is the winter. Mean amount of sunlight per day in the winter is about 30 minutes for a few months. 6 hours between sunrise and sunset, and overcast most days. Electricity does NOT get cheap in the winter, even the nighttime prices are eye-watering if it’s cold.
I did however find out it’s possible to keep the fixed price for buying now even if you also sell to the grid. A while ago that was not an option. This changes things a lot.
Have you considered a heat pump? Because they’re basically heat exchangers, they move the heat rather than creating it and thus use a shitload less energy
I’m not trying to be a sanctimonious twat here btw, I know there’s been a lot of disinformation about more efficient technologies, and a lot of people have simply just never heard of, or are unaware of just how established and proven alternate technologies are.
Batteries, mon.
