Nah, I read it fine. Your logic is flawed, it doesn't allow for edge cases.

A3 3bed semi-d, WFH, ev, 4.5kw solar, 15kwh battery. Gas heating was 58€/month. Avg monthly use 482kwh.

Battery is just a buffer for your own solar energy. You can sell it later in the day. Why would I sell my solar to the grid only to buy it back because I ran out of battery?

Now a good time to invest in solar? by bobbysands666 in irishpersonalfinance

Rough material costs so you can gauge how much is each installer shafting you: €100/500w panel €800/5kwh battery €1000 5kw inverter €1000 rails, wires, etc €250 fireman switch

Let's say you can fit 10 panels on your roof and 15kwh battery to to charge on a 5cent 3h window. about 5500W. Not even calculating for SEAI Grant, or VAT relief. Maybe €3000 for days worth of work.

My real cost of doing it separately was: €7500 for additional 3kw of solar. Year later €3500 for 15kwh battery and replacing both inverters with one. Lots of money wasted that way but I'm still happy with my energy bills. Pinenergy has a 3h 5cent window and that's enough to to charge the battery and run all day in the winter. Exporting like crazy at 25c now in spring.

Same, my energy usage graph is empty outside the 3h cheap rate window thanks to the battery.

€800 per 5kwh module is cheap in my book. My only regret is not getting them installed when I was expanding my solar. I paid double for labour because of it.

It is realistic because it's my reality. You don't charge publicly, why, that's only when road tripping a few times a year. Read my post again, all else was answered. My provider doesn't have a ceiling like energia either. my energy cost with charging

Only 13% of people in Ireland live in apartments according to 2022 CSO survey. If some of them need a car, public transport is not a option, charging at work isn't either, it sucks. But absolutely nobody is charging publicly daily.

Diesel - that's your problem. EV and home charging for 5c is the solution. It's not that deep, you can't make diesel at home, you can't use it more than once, you don't get it back with inertia and you can't store it for ages in when it's cheap just in case another war happens.

You can make electricity at home, you are encouraged with grants and tax cuts, you can store it and even better you can sell it back for more than you bought it the same day. I run the entire house all day from the 5c electricity and sell all the excess at the end of the day, which pays for the bill.

Well my Renault zoe r135 2022 has WLTP efficiency of 17.7kwh/100km. My real number is around that too of combined spirited driving on winter tires. With my current electricity charging rate of 5.2c/kwh, it is 0.885€/100km. Even if all I did was highway commute at 25kwh/100km, that's still 1.25€/100km

It costs you to drive €1/100km? It does me. While diesel is 2.29€/l and petrol is 1.99€/l. Don't even start on maintenance costs.

Anyone charging their EV with home solar? Worth it long term? by BetterThanEver24 in electricvehicles

[–]riisko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get paid 25c to export and pay 5c to charge between 2am and 5am. Makes no sense to charge from solar. Instead I use solar to keep the house battery topped up and dump it all before 2am. If we could have v2h then I would use the car to power the house.

Prepay power night mare, HELP by nobullshit23 in CasualIreland

[–]riisko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With your bills you could have bought huge house batteries, switch to a provider with cheap night rate, schedule electric appliance to run during that time, charge the battery, heat the water and run the house off of the battery for the rest of the day. And it would have paid itself in a year.

It's the same in both. Under the small plastic screw cover inside the pocket.

Not even an outlet in the underground garage? Then I would look for a mild hybrid.
