255 kWh here, 56.6 kWh per kWp and 115% of prediction... It's a good year after 113% of prediction in January and 99% in Feb too. What a year.

p.s. now past 3.3 MWh generated in 14 months and over 2 mWh exported (but some was just arbitrage.)

the insulation will stop radiant or conducted heat gain from outside (so no Bridge on the River Kwai-type furnace,) in the same way that it will slow down or prevent losses in winter. What it can't do of course is protect the interior from hot air being drawn in... I suspect there might be an extern...

Whatever size you go with, i would recommend following the same lines. Insulate as best you can, but give the heat generated within the area the best chance of staying in there with thermal mass.

...but make sure it has an escape route in high summer?

That is an old document and quite opaque. I think it said that their plans are to put things in place to be able to cope with 100% renewables by 2025, so I guess that is why we have these big spinning/inertia things doing effectively nothing until they are needed! The other aspects I don't understan...

which says: we’re thrilled to have acquired the rights to build the 57MW Whitelaw Brae wind farm in the Scottish Borders. As well as being our largest project to date, the deal marks another major step in our ambitious growth plans to double generation capacity within the next five years. It is the ...

Who says they are not?

The proposed 138km connection, from Pegwell Bay in Kent to a point on the Suffolk coast between Aldeburgh and Thorpeness, will run mostly offshore. Around 122km of the cables will be located under the sea with underground cables then linking to converter stations so electricity can be transported t...

Beware that for GF and KH "Your Project Watts" and "your Wattage amount" is buried in the Definitions on about page 4 (of mine) but for DW you need both the Customer agreement and a separate schedule with the figures on. I have also done a scrreendump of the "My Portfolio&qu...

perhaps they have recognised that setting it up and doing the number-crunching cost more than it brings in...

The grid engineers must think something physical has a role to play, we saw something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_condenser installed in NE England not so long ago... p.s. apparently at https://new.abb.com/news/detail/101299/abb-synchronous-condensers-go-live-in-liverpool-to-stabi...
