£11bn/GW. If it lasts 60 years, and generates all the time, that is 2p/kWh (I think). Strike Price was about £92.50/MWh, 9.25p/kWh. Still a good deal if I have worked it out right (for EDF).

Not when the English get there. Many English people move down here, most soon move back.

I think we have had the large falls in price. Normal inflationary rises can be expected, part of which is caused by energy prices. https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/evolution-of-solar-pv-module-cost-by-data-source-1970-2020

Says EDF, who owns all the nuclear generation.

So lower efficiency modules then, and more expensive. Any idea how/where the wiring goes? Surely it is easier to design in PV right from the start, than try and adapt existing systems (for new build). So what are the figures Wp.m-2 and efficiency for these modules?

No different from any roof intergrated system on looks really. Except you are paying for the roof covering in this case, rather than some 30 quid GSE module trays and no roof covering.

What a fantastic roof. So much potential for shading.

You could get one of these: 482131 Digital Pump Flow Meter Fuel Diesel Kerosene Line Pipe Counter https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KBYXDNG/ And use in conjunction with a dipstick or level gauge. Would take a few days to work out the calibration, but would be useful anyway to see daily or weekly usage.

And often not a nice cube, but oval in cross section. I would have thought that the tanker guage was calibrated and had an up to date certificate.

One problem with measuring volume is that the density of the liquid changes with temperature. The UK has only just started to fit temperature compensation to transport fuel pumps. Nice to know, for the same price, I get a few kWh extra energy in the winter. You may be able to get an ultrasonic flow meter, but probably expensive and not that reliable. The best way is load sensors on the feet of the storage tank. Then you can calculate from the specific energy density, correctly. We should really but fuel by the kg or MJ, not volume.

I used to make log saunas, it looks like one of them. just torch it.
-
Would it be worth putting an Ohm meter across the relay terminals and seeing what it reads. If the resistance can be established, it may indicate what sort of heating element is there. I would assume it is a fairly low powered one, 200W or something, so around 265 Ω

Whose? Not sure if it is possible to do one on Trump, to the best of my knowledge he only acts like a vagina. Still, will make him a silent, irritating, little fart.

Buy a small, cheap one. Go carefully.

As not many companies make compressors, can it be identified. Is there a part number on it? Them maybe find some details about it on line. Maybe here.

You can square, then root, the result. Still not sure what you are trying to achieve here, if I am honest. -

My house is the the same as my neighbours house. Asked how many rolls if wallpaper they bought to decorate front room. 12 was the reply. Bought 12, decorated and had 4 rolls left. Told neighbour this and he said. So do I

Does an ASHP stack up financially?
SteamyTea replied to SBMS's topic in Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
Often caused by solar gain through very large, badly orientated windows. When the Aircon broke in our house in the West Indies, sleeping on the floor did not help. We ended up going to the beach and slept there. Where we lived was windy, dry and not exceptionally hot, I miss it. -
If the compressor is running, it won't be the starting capacitor.

Or not. kWh. W for watt, named after Watt. Only use Watt if refering to the man, or at the begining of a sentence.

Does an ASHP stack up financially?
SteamyTea replied to SBMS's topic in Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
Having been up at my Mother's house that has a very expensive tiled kitchen floor, I would avoid it. What looked nice years ago now looks dated, and chipped/cracked. I have parquet flooring, which I like as I grew up with it, but most people dislike it now.
