We're paid £0.18 to generate (subsidised), £0.15 to export, and if I shift load via our battery, all our import is £0.07 per KWh.

Even with a large house, homelab, and an EV, we barely pay for electricity over the year. Doesn't seem like a con to me.



You've only done the maths for half of one side of the equation.


Remember that money is numbers in computers and joules and watts are real. Incentives and taxes are there so some things are easier to make real than others.


You've done none of either side of the equation.


Please present this magical equation to us, mere mortals.


Sorry I don't teach business 101 to random people in the comments section.


Do you teach it elsewhere?


If you were more explicit about your equation, we could actually discuss it. Trading quips doesn't further the conversation.
