Are there no battery storage systems which could be charged at night
and keep your essential summer stuff (PC,TV, kettle) going during the
day ?

I looked into that.

Usding cheap car batteries it would cost around £7000 to buy the kit and
I dont reckon the batteries would last more than ten years

Net loss.
