Do solar pannels in actual fact be paid satisfactory liveliness to power a house?

not worried about cost, just want to be non reliant on energy company.
Answers:
Yes but you obligation enough of the panels + batteries to equal your day after day energy expenditure
You may still be hooked up to the electric company but if you have ample you may not need to pay as much as you usually do. I've even heard of some general public selling excess energy to their local company but I don't think it is common.
Depends on location, cut-out of demand, energy consumption and area available for panel.


In the UK, the average house consumes ~3600kWh electricity/yr (plus about 20,000kWh in gas).

To generate 3600kWh you'll need more or less 4kWp of panels, which can be fit on most detached houses. However, UK energy consumption tends to meeting in Winter, when there is less sunlight. You can put within enough batteries to power yourself during the Summer for many days next to 4kWp, but to power yourself at night during Winter you'd need significantly more panels. Maybe 16kWp or so, but I can't find insolation pattern yet.

Then during Summer, unless you're grid tied to send the electricity into the grid, you'd have to dump a great deal of the power.


Right now a 4kWp system in the UK, grid tied, would mean that you produce something like as much electricity in a year as you use. Efficient energy use can help here (our 4 personality house used 2900kWh). But you'd have to sell it in the Summer and buy support during Winter.

This is more cost effective in the UK, as new solar systems qualify for 37.5p/Watt 'Feed surrounded by Tariff', being introduced in 2 yrs.
Depends on how many you have. May as capably ask if juice gives enough hydration to put out your thirst.
