Posted By: CWattersHave they told the smart meter companies to include a battery meter?
Posted By: tonythis is the opposite of energy efficiency, it actually encourages wasting energy, storage is inefficient
Posted By: jms452As we move forwards batteries have the potential to stabilise the grid increasing the efficiency of the whole.
Posted By: jms452If you're just using your day generated solar electricity at night then agree you take a hit on the battery inefficiencies.
Posted By: philedgeThere would need to be massively more solar PV than we have at the moment to do any charging during the day.
Posted By: tonyWe cannot afford to waste energy by storing it! As a nation.As renewable energy has zero marginal cost (i.e. once the installation is paid for, the cost of electricitry produced is the same whether a lot, a little or none is produced i.e. zero per unit) and in principle zero environmental impact, there is no need to use it 'efficiently', any more than there's a need for us to enjoy sunshine 'efficiently'.
Posted By: fostertomOnce all electicity is renewably produced and is in abundant glut, like sunshine, then there's no need to use it efficiently.
Posted By: fostertomBut the way renewables esp solar, is looking, is that by then it will indeed be in abundant glut, particularly because the capital cost of installation will have become ultra-low, distributed, personal, like mobile phones are today.
