5 Reasons To Get A (Bigger) Home Battery

I'm really happy to see your channel and site grow and get better and better. While I'd consider myself a solar/battery expert I'm still watching every video of yours as they're possibly the best illustrated and explain very complex concepts very easily for all to understand. Anyone who's a beginner and interested in solar I recommend to watch all your videos, they're truly the best on YouTube and far better than my engineer brain can explain!

I am the West of the US and found your explanations very useful. I was amazed by the massive price changes you have. We never get to the point where they pay us to use electricity. I wish we did because we have solar and 28 kWh of batteries. We have largely eliminated our electric bill which reduced our home costs about 400 USD per month. We also got paid about 300 USD for spare energy we exported to the grid during a 4 day power emergency. All and all solar plus batteries was one of the best home improvement we ever made.

Everything explained thoroughly and simplified for the novice such as myself...the way you presented your findings and graphs are second to none, i had no difficulty understanding,by far the best presentation ive seen to date..Thank you.

Hello Gary I just want to say thank for yet another great and very informative programme I have been looking for lots of answers to lots of questions for a long time about batteries and what I could add to my 13 year old 3.84kw PV array and I think you have just about covered everything I needed to know in this one so thank you very much. I don’t know if there is such a thing but if there is an award for the best and most informative presenter videos for a lay man like myself well Gary you most certainly deserve it. Well Done. Les

What a great overview of solar, batteries and grid cooperation! I'll share this video to my friends, especially those who are skeptical of things like this.

This is incredible info, well explained and easy to understand. Thanks Gary

Another great presentation. I have learned so much from your brilliant programmes.

Our self sufficiency is running around 86% with solar and battery👍👍

Thanks for having great audio and info

I've been thinking about this it's great to have the information in such a clear format thanks

Great video. Greetings from the Netherlands. As I see it from your video…. The time of use tariffs. (We call them dynamic tariffs) are an excellent addition to a solar power and home battery setup.

Gary, you continue to produce amazing videos, so thanks! I love how thorough you are, how precise your delivery is, both factually and your speech. You are one of the few presenters on YouTube who actually pronounces all 3 syllabus in battery. It grates my pedantic mind when so many call it a batry. Your webtool is amazing and I can't help think that it must have massive value for so many trying to process the difficult cost/benefit issues for their circumstances. We are going the whole hog, 2 x EVs already with 7kW solar and 20kW battery coming in September. Your advice and tools have really helped me tune what to get for our needs. Massive thanks.

Excellent job, Gary. Very well explained. I'm writing from Perth, Western Australia, where we have a lot of sunshine and rooftop solar, so our export rates are getting near zero cents. Even with these structural differences to your UK situation, I've found your modelling tool (Pro Version) very helpful. We're far behind you in terms of flexible retailer behaviour and VPP development, but I found your Step 4 and Step 5 very helpful in showing where we're most certainly headed. I'm about to install an 11.62 kW PV array, a 13.8 kWh battery and a 7 kW EV charger on a new home I'm building.

You are an amazing teacher Gary! Very well done.

I have an Enphase 7KWdc - 6KWac system with 13.3KWH storage and your tool maps my actual performance almost perfectly. I can also run off grid continuously with the storage set to a minimum of 30%. I normally use the storage to offset peak use price, and keep 50% for backup. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks.

Another high quality professional and informative video. Good work.

Excellent. Glad to see my thinking about batteries just prior to a solar system purchase echoed, with realistic scenarios. Your videos are great, down to earth and informative. Many thanks

Excellent video as always Gary. Good to see how the utility has developed. 👍

Thank you, Gary! This is strategic information.

Great video Gary excellent work....in US my particular electrical rates are much lower, however plugging in my values into your tool work well. You have put a lot of work into this and it's appreciated. Very nicely done videos, clear concise and and to the point. Keep up the great work and Cheers from the US.
