Re: Silver Dream Machine - aka campervan mk2

Not carried out much testing but the 390W was generating enough spot power to do an induction hob 1 gallon chilli con cook for about 3 hrs without depleting the battery at all. I now appreciate the value of the extra capacity so we can go onto the evening with a fully charged battery regardless of ...

Re: ASHP & triple glazing

I paid 20% deposit. Thanks lads, we've spoken about the glass, colour, thickness, kite mark positions, glazing bars etc. Nonetheless, it will all be thoroughly inspected and rejected if not bang on. If they don't match perfectly it will be back to the drawing board and the full 12wk wait again. At t...

Re: ASHP & triple glazing

Friday passed by without update on the second trapezoidal glazing unit. I don't expect the second unit to show up before Monday 26th May which is the current agreed date for Part 3 installation to commence.

Re: Spring has sprung?

What a day here at Nowty Towers, I am almost certain a generating PB will be made today as the cloud looks like staying away. :mrgreen: 78kWh so far, just 12 kWh more to match my generating PB with 9.5kW still coming in. :xx: After editing my figures to include export... Brand new PB yesterday 82.9...

Re: ASHP & triple glazing

Checked with installers and the second trapezoidal glazing unit that should have shown up on Monday is nowhere to be seen. I am now mentally bedding in for a 12 week wait before the second unit shows up and i allow installation (part 3) to commence.. :roll: It was being 'fast tracked' via a company...
