Yeah solar without battery would make sense to me.
100%. The housing market isn't competitive enough to not be able to hide a proper solar setup. Outrageous it isn't done.Given the cost of a new property, and the cost offset of roof tiles vs in-roof I don't think a decent sized ~10kWh battery would add any more than a rounding error to the total cost of the house over a standard mortgage term, vs. the savings it would deliver in the peaks hours and the months with shorter days, if anything it would likely be a positive impact on running costs.
I'm not sure I agree on the battery. It won't suit everyone and its a lot of cost.
I mean add the provision (ie hybrid inverter which is nigh on same cost) and wiring to a suitable location, IMO.

they have a right because they are your supplier of fuel and you have agreed to pay a fixed amount by direct debit........change it too a variable direct debit instead and then you only pay for what you use.just had a right go at octopus they sent me an e-mail saying they were putting up my monthly charge to £269 ??? wtf so replied to there email then phoned them 30 mins on hold .. told them i do not agree with it and as i have stated before if it's above my set amount it will be paid then and there ..
i've been paying £100 for 8 months i'm £26 in credit .. told them we cook on bbq every night and i have 9 tonnes of wood in my store for winter .. and coal for backup .. gas is a secondary heating source ..
what gives them the right to help themselves to my money ?

no its not, if it was variable you wouldnt have been paying 100 a month for 8 months.......mine is variable, so each month they send me a bill for the exact amount and take that via direct debit, im in credit so i pay nothing at the moment. but you still pay £100, you even state that in your post " if its above my set amount"it is variable ..
not exactly using any though....only for hot water, its been 4p all week in wales, 4.8 today.....but still way below the capOctopus tracker rates creeping up a tad the last couple days - just under 4p for gas before now approaching 5p.
Octopus gas smart meter still not working, they're answer is to wait a few more weeks, like since being installed back in May wasnt enough time
People rave about octopus but they've been rubbish for me so far.
doesnt cover south walesAnyone else been sent this?
