    Brown out free?

    We put up a solar system on one of our properties over a year ago to test how reliable or not they actually are here in the Philippines. Works great even in raining season and so far no power cut at all..That system is completely off grid so no bills since instalation. A 10 KW hybrid system here costs around the 6.000 Quid mark. It's the way to go here I reckon.

    I had them installed 1 week before Putin invaded Ukraine, and as we are 100% electric, we have had maximum return. They will have paid for themselves by the end of 2025, and will last another 20+ years. They save me £1,200+ a year.

    I'll soon be getting battery storage, as well as excess solar, they will top up at the Economy 7 rate overnight. This will save me a minimum of £700+ a year.
