I’d certainly be concerned wall mounting without a known fixing into a noggin . Hardie board is surprisingly strong - you could try a test hole and fixing - guessing some form of metal expanding fixing ( like for plasterboard ) .

A really bad start to the day ...

Must admit I did laugh at this . Not enough homes Here’s some money to build them They’ll be too expensive in the current climate It’s almost a joke isn’t it ! . I guess like all parties it’s a case of giving up trying to fix the housing problem. -

It’s ace ! If you get too trigger happy you can jam a screw in there ( get the depth gauge at the head end right ) . Now you need to buy all the other black n gold dream machines ! -
Solar - Where to start?
Pocster replied to DazRave's topic in Energy Efficient & Sustainable Design Concepts
I have added to my system since . Doubled pv , added SE battery . Ufh of uvc and ASHP . We are ( as you can imagine ) very well insulated. I personally find the house too warm even in winter - SWMBO begs to differ . In essence I’d be happy with zero heating all year round - that would save a few more quid 😁 -

Then we all wait for the next big thing and actually do nothing . The number of times I’ve been told my EV is no good as we will “ soon all have hydrogen fuelled cars “ - which clearly it isn’t possible to produce hydrogen in the quantity required . Even if a home hydrogen battery ( or whatever ) technology came out tomorrow; so what ? -

Indeed there is that 10% loss factor . Of course you could minimise that by having a dc battery . -

Price variation . Yes . The variation could be large ! - I don’t know . Equally in winter it may be possible to export excess presumably at a significantly higher rate . I don’t know . What I do know is my bill is zero and I ‘earn’ approx £1000 a year - based on past rates / pv etc etc . Your consumption figures are low . Therefore any pv / battery is pointless for you unless you just want to earn a green badge . But your figures are not typical . As I posted before my current ROI is around 6/7 years . I can’t see electricity getting significantly cheaper at any point in the near term future ( personal opinion ) . Battery costs have dropped a bit whilst installer costs have risen significantly. My original install in 2020 of 4kw pv , Tesla pw , inverter etc and install was under 12k ( from memory ) . A similar setup today would be a fair chunk more . So whilst I don’t consider myself a particularly early adopter - a cost saving at getting in at that point must be factored in . -

No Unless you are aware of future tariffs ! cost me ? How in winter ? . Worst case charge off peak and self consume
