You're better off installing solar panels yourself though, aren't you? Pretty sure
@Fantazia2 is doing this.
Yes, have a 900w system on my shed roof at the moment using hobby panels and currently working on adding another 1.7KW set of panels onto one side of my garage roof, was surprised to find that the full size panels cost about the same as the hobby ones and put out over twice the power. Also looking into a DIY battery storage system like a tesla power wall as doing it DIY you dont get anything back for feeding excess into the grid, Im pretty sure most of the feed in tarrifs have dropped right down for approved installations as well, so if you can you are better off storing excess instead of selling it to the network and buying it back on an evening at a higher rate. If your not storing you need to massively oversize the system to try get several more times export than you use on an evening.
Solar panels seem to work out quick cheap if doing it DIY compared to quotes I have seen before and they are not that hard to wire up, 900w hobby system was about £700 and the 1.7Kw proper size was about £1k for panels, inverter and mounting system, and all you do for it is literally plug the solar panels into one side of the intverter and wire the other side through fused spur that can be locked open for maintenace and that is about it other than notifiying the DNO youve installed panels, which for systems under 3.6KW you can do upto 30 days after wiring it up.
Havent used gas myself for years as replaced the old boiler I had with an electric one and just recently had the gas meter removed so not worrying about gas prices myself, but also there was a new story the other day about a fire in some electrical plant/station here in the uk that pushed the wholesale price for electric temporarily up to £450 per MegaWatthour also its due to low winds and nuclear outages as well, and seen other reports of it bouncing between about £250 and £750 per megawatthour wholesale. Im guessing that along with the uncertainty in the market at the moment is causing comapnies to pull their fixed prices at the moment as they just cant predict whats going to happen.
Oddly enough I had a look at electric prices last night and saw the cheapest I could get was about 25p Kwh compared to the 12.8p Kwh Im fixed at until end of March next year and also the standing charge was up to 27p per day compared to 15p, and that was on a variable tarrif. Looks like there is going to be lot of companies going belly up before the end of the year. For customers there is always the market cap to limit what they pay per unit which is due to go up shortly to protect them and that was decided before the recent big increases I think, but thats not going to help the smaller companies survive and start to shrink the market making deals harder to find.
