I have my first recommended installer to think about contacting.Get a man in
Get plenty of quotes. Seems to be a lot of variation in prices out there.I've been talking to a company about installing solar panels. getting a survey done (hopefully) this friday. They're inundated at the moment, but ballpark they say solar can cut 60% of my energy bills based on my usage.
thanks, yea, I got a few, and the crowd I'm going with were good and patient in explaining everything to me, and never did the hard-sell. They actually talked me down from stuff I don't actually need.Get plenty of quotes. Seems to be a lot of variation in prices out there.
yea, a little under. But theres add-ons that will suit some people which are not really of use to me.what sort of money? 5k?
I'd take that with a large pinch of salt, unless you can confirm it by doing your own sumsballpark they say solar can cut 60% of my energy bills based on my usage.
Eddi? Battery?yea, a little under. But theres add-ons that will suit some people which are not really of use to me.
solar panels (6-7), inverter, labour. It would involve diverting excess power to the water heater. I'm opting for this over getting dedicated panels for water (roof not big enough). I'm on the fence about a battery. Not sure I can justify it. That would be another 3k or so.Eddi? Battery?
Alternative Energy IrelandAlso who’s the company? I’ve had clover recommended to me so they’re getting a call later.
Is there a battery involved?@egg_ maybe, but it was based on the energy generated by the proposed setup versus my energy usage averaged over 2020 (when I'd have been at home more than usual due to the lockdowns, etc).
I'm on the fence about a battery. I don't think I need one, honestly. It would have its uses but I'm not sure its worth paying extra for. The 2 main benefits are continuity in the event of a power outage, and using the power from the battery during peak cost times (ie: charge at night when unit cost is lower, and consume during the day when costs are higher). It would depend on the capacity of the battery as regards whether this is cost effective or not.Is there a battery involved?
no, you're 100% right. My house is south-facing so I have an advantage that way, but yeah, no sun, no craicAh sorry, just read your earler response - if there's no battery then I think your savings are probably unknowable, because whether or not you can get energy from the PV panel depends totally on how much sunlight is falling on the panel when you need it. Right? Have I got the wrong end of the stick here?
