Re: SEG and tax implications
The document also talks about own domestic needs which I read to mean what all the products in the house use (not including the battery). The only place I have that info is in my Victron hub and it's not accurate enough for the purposes of billing. I use 24000kWh a year and generate about 16000kWh. ...

SEG and tax implications
EON had some incorrect tax information which made me do some digging. If I’ve read it right, the document below says there is no tax unless exporting more than 20% of what you use.

Good deal for panels near Chester
Saw this in fb. https://www.facebook.com/share/7uKBMkbc ... tid=79PoIi
£100 for 2.4kW of panels. Older models but might still be a good deal for someone

Re: Advice sought for my solar mount foundations
4x2 and 100mm PIR don't go together for several reasons. Firstly the actual finished size of 4x2 timber is 95mm so it just doesn't fit. Secondly, it is best practice to ventilate the cold side of all insulation, this is to avoid premature rot caused by condensation. Therefore 100mm PIR is usually p...

Re: Advice sought for my solar mount foundations
We are fans of insulation in these parts. It pays for itself! I'm not 100% on what your outbuilding will be used for. For the frame it is worth thinking of upsizing to 6x2 so you can fit 100mm PIR between the studs and leave a ventilation gap between insulation and outer skin. But 75mm PIR and 4x2 ...

Re: Advice sought for my solar mount foundations
I want to build a shed and it might make financial sense to roof it with a in roof solar panels. I'd have 2,5kW facing S and the same again on the north side. Sorry if I'm interferring, but could you build it with a monopitch, all south facing? Just increase the height on the north side, and maybe ...

Re: Advice sought for my solar mount foundations
Regarding the floor, what are you putting in it? if heavy lathes and mills etc then yes a concrete slab is probably best, if it is just a general storage workshoppy type shed a slab is a bit over the top IMO There might be some gym stuff and heavy boxes of honey stacked. You could use screw piles i...

Re: Advice sought for my solar mount foundations
I’m assuming we are talking an unheated space here? *cough*. Yes because otherwise building regs need a ridiculous amount of insulation. I'll have some insulation and frost free heating. Round my way “flat roofs” are all the rage. Primarily to avoid planning/building regs. However I can’t remember ...
