Presumably charging cheap rate and using an Ev tarrif? Or have I misunderstood?Interestingly there have been many people recently installing batteries without the solar because the payoff from batteries was better than solar!

Re: Wood pellets
Stooput question incoming...
Can I assume you sell it bagged and the 8kg are "samples" for quality control. Or is this domestic?

Re: Despatches "Dirty secrets of american food"
Something has gone very wrong with food in America, and as with many such things we're not far behind. I eat mainly meat, eggs and dairy that I try very hard to buy direct form the farmer. Food miles are kept as short as I can reasonably achieve and I avoid processed/packaged foods as far as possib...

But then that is very hot tap water, is there a scalding risk?
I run our tank at 45c, because it has replaced the tumble dryer.
