  1. Probably giving tax advice backstage. Don't stand to close to me with that giggle stick.
  2. In Knotty Ash
  3. Hard to tell, but looks like it had a knot in it, and a knot in tension. Or, a knot, not in compression.
  4. 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).
  5. I don't know the model of boiler you have but suspect that it senses both the flow and return temperatures, if there is not much difference, then it shuts down. It may also do this on flow pressure, which probably increases. Is your boiler actually giving you problems?
  6. That is when the first man with a shovel stops tunneling.
  7. Civilisation comes to Bristol. All the poncy hipsters must have moved out.
  8. You (expletive deleted)ing what. Bash Bash Bash
  9. Going back to my 1970s SMP mathematics lessons, and the topic title question. 3PM
  10. 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.
  11. If it is Coldplay, end track.
  12. I am looking forward to this saga. Any heating system is doomed to failure in this house.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Put a VCL in on the warm side. It is done and dusted then.
  16. Impedance when AC, resistance when DC (I think). All to do with root mean squared values.
  17. 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?
  18. 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.
  19. More like 2mm thick. Lidl have some cordless angle grinders. I would go corded, a small one.
  20. Is that one size screw fits all?
  21. That is what I am pondering. My house is 4 meters wide and the roof is 4.5m along the hypotenuse. Now that does not give me me much area. But if I got modules that were a gnats under a metre, or two metre wide, I could do the full width. As it is a terrace, I am legally allowed to remove a bit of the neighbours roof and replace it (as long as it is done correctly to any MIs). With two rows of module, I may get over 3 kWp of PV up there. I will have to sketch up a simple GRP tray design when I get back onto the PC with CAD on it.
  22. I may have missed this, but can you connect ~10 kWp, is easy with 3 phase but then that introduces self consumption challenges. Side question, how thick are the roof battens and the tiles?
