Not going to be any meaningful sun till may either. Have you added extra insulation to your DHW cylinder? Have you reduced the flow for showers? Have you reduced the cylinder temperature to as low as you can get away with? Those 3 could save you a bit.

Probably giving tax advice backstage. Don't stand to close to me with that giggle stick.

Hard to tell, but looks like it had a knot in it, and a knot in tension. Or, a knot, not in compression.

That does rather make it a one trick pony though. If you have it grid tied, you can use excess production elsewhere in your house, and pay be paid a few quid for any exports (all rather depends how Octopus get on).

Over the rest of this decade. So 15k a year. That will sort out the housing crisis. Gove was on PM claiming that if all the measures proposed are enacted, then the rivers will have less nutrients in them. Also blamed the EU legacy legislation for the mess. But it is OK, we are delaying food tariffs from the EU, while our exports get charged it. I am so grateful that others voted for me to have my sovereignty back. Even if the sovereign has changed, which I did not vote for either. What a (expletive deleted) up of a government.

I am looking forward to this saga. Any heating system is doomed to failure in this house. -
I have a selection of angle grinders, one small cordless, a small one, a medium one with speed control and a very large one. The big boy scares the hell out of me when slicing concrete slabs up. The little one, 700 W, is very easy to use as it can be locked on, means one handed usage. But don't try using one up a ladder, when a cutting disc grabs, there is a lot of inertia in the disk, and even 700W is like pushing 700 kg a metre, in one second. So if you weigh 100 kg, you will have moved over a metre before you even have time to realise what has happened.

What else is going to move if you jack it up to where it is meant to be? @saveasteading and @Gus Potter are your men here, I will just suggest the glue to use. -
Impedance when AC, resistance when DC (I think). All to do with root mean squared values.

If you go the small inverter route, that make sure that the the load exceeds the inverter start up requirements. If you are going to the bother of installing modules and an inverter, why not go grid tied and then use a diverter to the DHW?

Inverter sizing for PV – to undersize or not?
SteamyTea replied to Dan G's topic in Electrics - Other
How much do you think will be exported and how much will you get paid of it? I have seen a 3 kW SMA inverter exporting 3.5 kW, the cooling fan was working hard. -
