It is cheap to turn off windturbines, and then switch them back on. There will also be large scale balancing storage, and local, sub station storage. My feeling is let the big boys sort it out, one thing we are good at, in the UK, is electrical generation and distribution.

Did I leave my packet of Marlboro here? Oh, and my camera.

Sharp make some. They are quite large, panel size: 2,279 x 1,134 x 35 mm and may not be able to use a standard domestic roof fitting kits. 210 W.m-2. So no better than top of the performance standard module.

You have quoted wind, not solar. Solar is better than wind at the small scale and for a distributed local network. Wind relies on a centralised network. I don't think that runs permanently, though I suppose it could. More for balancing.

Yep, let's have a game of Top Trumps.

That is what a tool should look like. I hate shiny new ones.

Are they smart to save energy. My fridge takes about 5W, not got freezer, or WiFi.

I have virtually nill base load. I an understand a fairly high load if you have a bore hole for water, and a sewage treatment plant. But not for anything else, unless you run a HP at such a low level it hardly turns off. I do notice that at my Mother's house, there seems to be a continuous 300W load, and u just can't find out what it is.

I had a Mk3 turbo diesel once. A truly dreadful car, slow, not economic, rattly and shaky at anything above 60 MPH. Then everything electric started breaking, just as the rust started to come through. Be a classic now as not many are about. 175

Me to. Got to get it done before the new age verification restrictions.

Looks like Internal Wall Area. So the external walls, but measured on the inside. Ignore that I posted above.

Walls that do not touch the outside. I have never filled it in, may have a look later and see what terminology is used.

Fill out what you can, then loo up what you can't, then ask when you get properly stuck. Most of it is fairly obvious.

Dirty bugger. But yes, that as well, once.

I forgot about the water, so a 10 kW seems about right. would still get someone to do a proper room by room heat loss calculation. You can download the MCS spreadsheet and have a go at it yourself. On this page under Heat Pumps https://mcscertified.com/standards-tools-library/

Back to resistance heating at 30p.kWh-1. He will have to put the price up in the rented rooms.

I did, well the insurance company did, and gave me £2,500 extra for my pain and time off work. But Abbey National took me to court for unpaid mortgage. Compensation was so different back in the 1980s.

Must have misread it, though it was a max heat load of 7.9 kW. Ah, add water.

ABS? Airbags I had a serous head on in my 205, then got rear ended. Only 2 months in hospital and another 6 recovering. Now, 36 years later, the aches and pains in my neck are getting really serious. But it crumpled like it was meant to and saved my life.

So the HP has almost doubled in size. And almost doubles in size as well. Get someone in that knows what they are doing.

True. Have you called a few MCS companies to come and give you a quote?

So would I be, my heating energy for yesterday, divided by my total floor area, works out at 15W.m-2. And my house is over 30 years old.

Not our windscreen, so boiling will work.

If we all have PV, and no batteries, and managed to generate around 150 GWh/day, electricity prices would be cheaper. But if we all stored that energy locally, they would be higher.

We can use something similar when this latest installation is fitted and rattling like @Onoff's Peugeot. Shall I start the topic now, or wait till later.
