Will be fine then. I have just started to read this, can tell you how it all works when I have finished. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0385539304

Panel to inverter ratio to maximise G98 generation?
SteamyTea replied to cloudy's topic in Photovoltaics (PV)
There was some debate, and i think someone posted up the rules. Too many people like to think they know best, but don't understand our electrical standards are very robust and need to be kept to. If your inverter was overproducing, it would hit the voltage limit, this can cause problems down the line. -

Some of us do, others think it is wonderful. Some chef's also think that Gordon Ramsay is a good bloke and has a great management style. I don't have a TV but sometimes catch glimpses of it at the end of the night. -

Generally no more than 30% undersizing. I fitted 3.5 kW to a 3 kW inverter. It got very noisy and the fan chucked out loads of hot air. This caused the room it was in to become unusable. -

There seems to be some disagreement about what constitutes 16A per phase for export purposes. I think it is limited by module capacity, not inverter capacity. -
I would be surprised if it that different, but it does depend what is measured, power or energy. also some plants don't need maximum light levels, think of forest fruits. the Netherlands has a dryer, and colder climate than us, but not by much. It is similar to Easy Anglia. It is well irrigated these days, unlikely the UK. It is easier to manage a smaller area after all. They also benefit from neighbouring countries supplying cheao, off peak, power. And they have a large petrochemical industry, so easy fertilisers. And they had the Hongerwinter, where they were purposely starved.

Not as much as I thought, but then I tend to see a lot of it down here, so that clouds thinking. Dividing one by the other, then multiplying by those gives a 2000 fold increase.

@Ferdinand You are good at ferreting out data. Can you finds out how much land in the UK is used for horticulture, and compare that with arable and livestock.

Right. The live streaming of your orgies. Seems reasonable.

I think windows should be the ordered and delivered first, then build the house around them.

Time Travel was it. The film came out 9 years later. -

Who knows, The Lizard is a bit insular, or is it Peninsular. Considering that Goonhilly was a communication centre, then got taken over by BT, you would think that a mobile phone would work, but no, all the white vans drive to Culdrose, pull over in a layby, and check for messages. I like it down there. Daphne de Maurier wrote The Birds, after a childhood experience with seagulls, down there. -

How about some actual figures: floor area, wall area, perimeter to area fraction, volume. Oh dear, where do we start with this one. It is probably having a greater cooling effect, especially as some of your place is buried. Where is it: inside, outside. Cold bridging? Not that crazy, fitting far-infrared on the ceiling would be crazy. But sticking with that theme, how about forced air heating, get the air changes then. But hard to fit with thick walls, and takes power to run. How do you generate power to run the pumps at the moment? -
The UK can be self sufficient in food, not a problem usually. Choice would be limited, some years there would be over production, and some years under production. There is also a foods safety issue. Many houses have been built on ex industrial land. Though it should have been cleaned up, this will not always have happened, then think of avian flu, swine fever and other commutable diseases. The reason we have a global supply chain in agriculture is because it is more efficient. Who are we fighting? Ourselves?

Your bog looks like the ones at my school. Hopefully @DamonHD HD will be along to explain what happens when the raised cistern falls on your head.

I went to work for most of it, I keep suggesting that I get furloughed, but seems I am needed, no matter how useless I pretend to be.
