We have generated 4250 units of electricity.
We have imported 2773 units (mostly in the evening and at night), saving us 1301 units compared to our average old import over one year.
We have imported 550 units of gas (saving about 150 units a year)
Things we have learned...
This is 'easy green' to implement.
Even is you don't care for the planet two hoots (we do care!) you can reap a return on your investment.
Without going overboard and getting stressed about it, you can make small changes to minimise your import - we are trying now to use the washing machine and bread-maker during the day (no cost electricity). To aim to run machines sequentially rather than switching them on all at once. We have bought a slow cooker to sometimes use the trickle of electricity that is generated in the daytime rather than importing a high energy load when turning on the oven in the evening.
We think we will be a net zero bills house. The income from the Feed In Tariff will cover the imported electricity gas and water bills......now to work on that dreadful council tax bill - ideas anyone?
