How much can you really save with solar panels and a Tesla Powerwall 3 in the UK? In this video we review one year of real performance data from Sam’s solar and battery system, installed by Spirit Energy.
Sam invested in 22 solar panels (440 W each) connected to a Tesla Powerwall 3, alongside an Intelligent Octopus Go tariff. His home uses around 8,000 kWh of electricity a year, and this setup was designed to cut bills while taking advantage of off-peak charging and export payments.
After 12 months, the results are in. Did the system meet expectations? Was it worth the investment? And how much did Sam save compared to simply staying on the grid? We break down:
– Solar generation vs predictions
– Seasonal performance (summer vs winter in the UK)
– Tesla Powerwall 3’s first year in action
– How much self-sufficiency the system achieved
– Annual savings, including bill reduction and export earnings
– A simple tip to help you save even more with solar and battery
Sam’s net annual electricity bill dropped from £2,040 to just £171 – less than a year of Netflix. On top of that, the system backed up nine power cuts and exported hundreds of pounds of electricity to the grid.
