Green Building Forum - PV generation in SAP calculation Tue, 19 Dec 2023 05:32:04 +0000 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/ Lussumo Vanilla 1.0.3 PV generation in SAP calculation http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=14535&Focus=247024#Comment_247024 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=14535&Focus=247024#Comment_247024 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 11:27:52 +0100 dicktc I am assuming this PV figure is based on the total predicted PV generation for the year. However why would it be multiplied by the standard price for a unit of electricity? Isn't this misleading?
If my PV system generates electricity when I'm out all day and there is no demand, then surely that electricity will be sold back to the grid at a considerably worse unit price than the price I have to pay to buy electricity, so in reality it won't offset my energy costs in the way the SAP report suggests.
Grateful for your comments if anyone knows about this.
Thanks]]>

I'm not sure the assumption should be sale cost equals import cost
