Think about it, you put several solar panels on your roof that generate electrical power into the common grid, and in the end, your electricity bill comes with a deduction for what you generated. Is that right? Now let’s analyze a scenario where your stable savings scheme gets broken. Delving deeper into the process of solar panel generation, their main disadvantage is efficient production from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm; at other times, the efficiency is very low.

We won’t consider weather factors in this calculation, although we all understand that Ireland is not Spain. Now, answer this: do you need a lot of electricity during this time period? Maybe you’re taking a shower, or you’re cooking food, even on an induction hob, or you need to heat a kettle? Oh yes, most of you are at work during this time.

So, if you don’t need electricity during this period, then who does? After all, you’re still sending it to the grid. The more such houses that want to save on bills, the faster your electricity supply company will block your generation from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. Then you will think about buying a battery, but by that time it will cost much more than it does now, if it is not banned from sale altogether due to flammability or difficult-to-recycle components. Think about this. I propose a new type of alternative energy: the ‘Mechanical Heat Pump,’ which will provide you with hot water 24/7, 365 days a year, for heating your house, for taking a shower or bath, and even for an outdoor swimming pool with warm water.
