is a home battery without an EV worth it?
Posted by: @adamk@jamespa yeah I’m only showing the min wage we’ve set as a country not for individual trades. I’m surprised they are saying an electrician only gets £12.11-13.84, no wonder so many people want to work in the UK. No way you can find a sparks in the UK that earns that. My builder is on £27 per hour.
OK but that's market forces not minimum wage and of course we don't have info on what German sparkies are actuay paid.
So from the three things you suggested we are only left with import duties. So far as I have been able to find any info ours were linked to EU ones until 2022 at least. Furthermore we (with Germany) opposed the EU anti dumping ones. Now Germany is obviously still in the EU but we aren't so a difference could have opened up but, based on our position, it would be the other way round. Thus at present in finding this one difficult to believe also, in the absence of documentary evidence.
4kW peak of solar PV since 2011; EV and a 1930s house which has been partially renovated to improve its efficiency. 7kW Vaillant heat pump.
