Fitting solar advice qualifications

[nicebutdim]

Yeah news yesterday said price cap is going up to £4.1k not the previously mentioned £3.2k. It's a disgrace, Eon reported record profits yesterday. Lots of people are going to be bypassing their meters.

How does this work? I'm led to believe caps are placed on unit price and standing charge, rather than total bill?

I don't wish to appear cynical, but I'm not sure that 'the news' is generally a reliable source of news.

The last time the news said the price of utilities was going up my bill went from £58/month to £230/month so i'm inclined to believe them.

I won't be paying it though, the Henley Block Fairy is going to visit mine this Crimbo.

Sounds like a daft plan and one that may well increase your financial burden.

If crime is your response to rising utility bills, it might be better to aim for something that would be rewarded with free food and accommodation at her Majesty's pleasure.

On that first issue, I'm assuming the news correctly predicted that your bill would rise to exactly £230? If not, you would appear to be confirming my point.

You arguing with yourself? Cause i'm not interested in arguing with you mate. Bills are going up, solar is paying for itself in 2 years. Simples.

Asking questions and pointing out the consequences of ill-conceived actions isn't being argumentative - it's generally referred to as 'conversation'.

Bills are indeed going up - I think everyone can agree on that much.

As for solar paying for itself in two years; I can offer you an installation if it comes with guaranteed 2 year payback.

I don’t think the solar is @nicebutdim ,s issue. It’s condoning breaking the law by bypassing the meter. Unless that was a joke. if so a funny smiley emoji may have helped

That and the oft repeated statement that 'bills are going up by X amount'. Bills are going up due to increased unit price and standing charge - individual bills are determined on the basis of energy used and not some figure put forth by the media.

Have to agree. These quoted totals we are going to pay are meaningless unless you know what our usage is.

the governments stating 33 p perkwh electric and 10p per kWh gas I accept.

the new proposed 51p per kWh for electric and 13 p for gas. I also accept.

but these £3000. £4500 caps are meaningless without knowing the total usage of each person.

If you can offer a solar installation that pays for itself in 2 years then I can get you quite a few to do. Send me details please.

Actually it wont be long before thats a reality at retail level. I can achieve 2 years, buying at trade and installing myself for my home at 30p/kwh. If i could convince some trees to shrink i probably could get that even quicker
