A bloke called Ridley was claiming in The Times the other day that it's
feasible to floodlight the PV array using off-peak electricity and still
turn a profit at 3am!

While it sounds like a nice idea, I call bull on that. The efficiency
of floodlights is quite low and the efficiency of solar panels is, too.

You could cheat and just feed off-peak power back into the grid as if it
were solar.


Why pay off peak prices for 3.1p/kwh return?
