No, what you really need is a facility to charge whilst at work.I do a 80 mile commute so not sure about an electric car, plus i would need 2 electric cars as one would have to be at home charging while i was using the other one for work.

A surprising 82% of pvgis - or two June days....
Had system for 6 months now, generated 48.5% of annual pvgis but with the solstice date I assume H1 is slightly better than H2 on average?I think....0 -
I haven't posted here for ages as I have been rather pre-occupied with family matters, but here are my figures for October, November and December, which make grim reading - by far the worst ever for November and December.
October: 104.99 kWh (PVGIS -16.7%)
November: 34.12 kWh (PVGIS -58.5%)
December: 20.74 kh (PVGIS -63.7%)
The year as a whole made 1825.67 kWh (PVGIS -3%) which is down on 2014 but well up on 2013.
So, a warm, wet and dull winter so far.

It's not just the solstice date, spring is generally much better than autumn.2kWp Solar PV - 10*200W Kioto, SMA Sunny Boy 2000HF, SSE facing, some shading in winter, 37° pitch, installed Jun-2011, inverter replaced Sep-2017 AND Feb-2022.0 -
This should take you close =SUM((((47*1.02264)*39.4)/3.6)*0.02859)..Assuming your gas price is 02859p. per kWh:D..Well....year end is upon us (again)
Quick breakdown goes like this
ESE 109%
SSW 103%
WNW 113%
Been an expensive month for import...454kWh(
) and gas 47 units(whatever that equates to)
Happy new year guys and gals and if you're a star wars fan, may the generation be with you
