	A typical domestic installation is between 1.5 and 4 kWp and each kWp will produce approximately 800 kWh over an average year depending on the particular situation. This is a meaningful figure compared to the average household consumption which is approximately 4000 kWh a year.

−	Micro-generation is a key part of the future electricity strategy but as it grows it raises a number of questions relating to the local distribution network supplying dwellings. For example, if the PV installations fitted to houses on the sunny side of a road are exporting much of their electricity, does this have any detrimental impact on the local distribution network or the sub-station transformer as a result of potentially unbalanced loads? Also, how might local micro-generation interact with new heating and transport demands and will hot spots or other strange effects occur? At a national level there are also discussions surrounding the stability of the grid as renewable energy approaches 20 ~~per cent~~ of the total supply and solutions to this may call for the installation of huge grid storage ‘batteries’ to restore balance to the system.	+	Micro-generation is a key part of the future electricity strategy but as it grows it raises a number of questions relating to the local distribution network supplying dwellings.

	Whether at a national or local level there are clearly significant challenges to decarbonising the grid. If it can be achieved however, it potentially decarbonises much of domestic heating and transport and as a result reflects the key role electricity will take in a low carbon future.
