This post explores distribution network tariffs in the UK and the price signal they provide to businesses investing in rooftop solar. In the UK the distribution network operators or DNOs provide two types of tariff, one that charges energy consumers for energy they import from the grid to their site, and another that rewards them for energy that is exported from the site back to the network.
Annual Distribution Tariff Impact shows the realised cashflow benefit for each location, each DNO and each solar orientation.
Annual Solar Performance shows the gross solar yield together with any solar export. Remember the solar is being added to an existing cold storage facility.
A couple of maps to show that same info spatially.
Energy Flows and Time-of-Use Tariff Bands shows an example day July 10th for the site in Aberdeen connected to SHEPD for our baseline (no solar) as well as for the south and west facing systems.
