As the previous year, my energy bill was minimal in 2025. I didn’t keep any good records of the actual costs for 2025. Roughly speaking, my fixed costs were £272 in standing charges and I figure I’ve paid £255 in energy costs on top of that
My total net energy bill for the year was around £255 – £21.25/month (£43.93/month if you include the standing charges)
In 2022, my monthly energy direct debit was £200/month. In 2023 I increased it to £250/month. This remained at £250/month in 2024 (first full year with solar) as I wasn’t sure what impact the solar panels would have on costs. In 2025, I reduced the direct debit to £100/month. For 2026, I have reduced it again to £50/month. Considering prices always seem to rise I’m quite happy that I’ve been able to reduce my outgoings
3 brief graphs:
In 2024, I fed back 2367.41kWh to the grid. In 2025 I fed back 3256.2kWh, an increase of 886.79kWh
In 2024, I generated 3861.81kWh of electricity. In 2025 I generated 4342.3kWh, an increase of 480.49kWh
In 2024, I was paid £429.04 from selling electricity back to the grid. In 2025 I was paid £822.27, an increase of £393.23
There was a difference in 2025 – I chose not to disable energy exports at the end of the year, but I did do this in 2024
