PV Feed In Tariff Part 2

Have you looked at www.energypal.ie that site has all the tarriffs and you can upload your HDF data and it will work out the best tariff for you.

Energia (EV Smart Drive 24%) have another plan that similar to the Pinenergy but the added bonus the low rate is for 4 hours…if you have a big battery this might be better. Disadavantage is the import rate increases from 6.74cent to 7.75cent if you go over 1000kWh 2 months (which you will but its not a massive increase). But if you have a very big battery then the extra hour might pay off. Their export rate is less as well at 20cent not the worst, but less than Pinergy which are way above everybody else anyway.

Look at energypal.ie

Also, don't forget that Pinergy are the only supplier that will allow you take your credits out as cash.

That was the deal clincher for me.

Gotta do the sums for yourself but the difference in night rate between them is about 2c. If you have a 12kVA MIC, like I do, this alone is a saving of 365 days * 3 hours * 15kW * €0.02 = €329 per year

And 3 hours gives about 20kWh into the car battery after losses, with a 16kWh / 100km vehicle(s), that is 46k km per year. If you do considerably more, you might need 4h. Also if you have a heatpump as your main heating system, you might need 4h. With a powerful inverter like say a Sunsynk 8.8kW, you could easily get 20kWh into the home battery too, but this wouldn't be enough on a cold day and it makes more financial sense to sell to the grid rather than use the electricity for heating

Yeah, forgot that.

Saying there's only 1 person/adult in the house when registering should set that to the minimum amount. Plus, the excess can be taken out in 3 months' time anyway.

100% all names on the bill for multiple tax exemptions. There's a thread here with all the relevant information.

My NC6 form was processed by ESBn on 11th July, and export metering shows on my account since then.

Just got my first Electric Ireland bill since then. But no export credits. Their terms say I should be getting it.

Anyone with any experience of Electric Ireland?

On receipt of the NC6 form, ESB Networks will set up your export account.

Electric Ireland will receive your export data from ESB Networks, and you will then receive a microgeneration credit on each bill thereafter in line with your billing cycle.
