It's good to see one of these kits in the wild. I quite like the idea of one of these, combined with some Colin cells, this seems to be a good compromise between DIY and off the shelf.

What inverter are you using? That's the part I've not quite got my head around.

I've signed on the dotted line. Let's see when they want to install.

Thanks. The graphs are worth seeing, so the link above is worth a read.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/10/27/households-rake-in-record-31m-from-solar-panels/ British households made a record £31m from rooftop solar panels last year following a surge in installations. Energy providers paid out £30.7m to 283,666 households that exported renewable energy back to...

I wonder why the install is higher than the BUS ? Are you having a cylinder fitted or is it existing ? I should think that you will find the 4kW unit more than sufficient, don't forget with a smart meter and ToU tariff you can also engage the immersion here and there to get a boost for the heating ...

Seems like a no brainer smegal for the price, if it's good enough. Are you going to get it? I got told by octopus that they only fit 6-8kw heat pumps and the house was too big. :roll: Initial quote was about £3800 after grant. I'm probably going to get it. Just got one more point to check. I'm now ...

I will try to it out. Although we're Terrible at submitting gas readings, so will have to do it as an average.

Right, Here are the details: This is based on a 1,468 sqft 3 story semi detached 2016 new build. 22mm plastic spines with 10mm plastic to rads. Here is the heat pump and hot water cylinder details. https://i.postimg.cc/y6ZWs05T/Screenshot-2024-10-24-111748.png Expected Annual energy consumption: htt...

I've seen a lot of new-builds recently with 2 panels adding up to maybe 1kWp. Pointless waste of time IMO. I've said a number of times that houses should have a minimum of 1kWp (and 2.4kWh of battery) per bedroom... 1 kWp on a few hundred houses over a development still adds up. Although given how ...

Presumably 1GWh, not a GW output? I hate guessing what the mongrel journalists write! Exactly what I thought when I first heard it, but the article (and others) do seem to be talking MW not MWh. However ...... not wishing to be pessimistic, but I'd have thought 1GWh, not 1GW would be big for now, s...
