[QUOTE="Timber_MG, post: 550349, member: 18"] The winter performance of a PV panel driven element is far better in winter and in low light conditions. It consumes more area on the roof, but in turn one gets more benefit as the energy is not just thermal energy. If you can feed the grid during the day time and consume during the night time what you put in starts to make a lot of sense. Problem is that this is a threat to the municipalities' cash cow so we'll see more municipalities follow in Cape Town's step and charge a monthly connection fee for that facility which would make it ill feasible to do so. As soon as a battery needs to provide significant energy, you are making a poor case both environmentally as well as economically. [/QUOTE]
