Interesting to see that even in the winter months the system produces some power.
A pound saved is a pound earned.
I'm surprised that fitting solar panels to new build properties in the UK is still not mandatory.
It's been mandatory in South Africa for at least 20+ years.
Edit. I know your place isn't a new build 🤦♂️😂 just saying. All new houses should have solar panels as standard. 👍

The generation in winter is pretty low, but better than nothing and the battery helps.
Even when they fit solar to new houses they seem to cut corners. Most could have more panels that would not cost much more and save money for many years. It's cheaper to do it all during the build. I think the builders have fought against legislation that would mean putting up prices, but they go up anyway. I just wish we could have afforded panels when we built our house instead of waiting for 20 years.

You've hit the nail on the head. It's obviously not about sustainability or efficiency. It's short sighted profit over common sense.
