Taken a while to get round to it, fitted last night sucked up 5.125 kWh on the first charge
That's a nice neat wee unit, long may it output in the silent no fuss way of these devices. We are going to be having a smart meter fitted at No1 son house. And will be hive plugging the Two SH's he currently has. Also thinking about solar I boosting his HWT to ensure all his PV generation is being used on site.

They are my faves too. Pack quite a punch in a discreet package. Crazy weather the noo. Was on a sunlounger on Sunday, been slowly knocking back or fully off for most of the SH's. Then this!

WBS fired up. Mince & doughballs along with mixed veg and a pan of cabbage all cooking away. Can't do that on a CH radiator. :D

Yea had the woodburner on last night, burning offcuts of non treated timber that were in the garage, scraps that I thought would come in handy but now stop progress…

Really nice, had 4kW solar into the storage heaters entire afternoon. 👌

Will take a 1 day WBS run though to bring the whole place up to temp.

House has used under 10kWh grid power in the fortnight we've been away.. Thats under a quid.... (excl s/c). :twisted:

That is a PB any way I look at it. :)

Guesstimate of about £40 tween FIT & GF WT in that timeframe. That is some seriously trippy s**t. 😳

Knock £19 off for standing charge and I'm very early to the VB charging (£20) for our little Scottish home environment.
