You need to have your solar registered with ESB I think before youâll get paid. Your installer does it I think, or at least as to send in some forms.

The NC6 Form must be filled out and registered with ESB Networks.

I would recommend doing it yourself, as in not relying on your installer to submit it correctly.

They are but my understanding is if you donât have a smart meter they canât measure that.so they pay you an assumed level of export (deemed export) . This has worked out well for lots of peopleâŚbut iv 16 panels south facing and no battery so likely to export above averageâŚI do have a smart meter already just no smart meter plan
Who do you mean
Couldnât justify the battery cost? The maths donât look great on the battery if youre getting 21c for everything you dont use within the house.

No matter what way I looked at it the payback for the battery was twice the rest of the systemâŚevery supplier I got a quote from told me the same that I didnât need it or they couldnât justify it
Just too expensive now that you can sell back excess to grid

Thinking the same here. That upload rate seems to fluctuate regularly but always seems to float around 20c per kWh. We both work from home 80% of the time too so there would be a decent base load during the day⌠You have to use it as its being generated.

In my simple head the fact that you get 50% value on export vs import means the payback on the battery has doubled
