Actually @Jeremy Harris ; can I ask a question where I assume I’ve vastly over simplified things .... As you have an EV how many ‘miles’ can you get from a 5p per kw charge for 4 hours ? Just trying to compare electric cost against petrol cost for same distance ( also assuming of course not using pv for charge ) . I don’t have an EV - but certainly would want at least the cabling in place ready for a charge point . If you did include PV and assume you charge your vehicle 50% pv and 50% 5p kw - wonder what that does to the figures . Actually perhaps this isn’t so simplistic ?

Yeah sorry ; cross posted . They assume a 8% annual increase in electric which does sound on the rather high side !!

I',m confused. According to that you pay of the near 13k long before 25years.... Answer my own question!.... The estimated value of your new system in year one is £304 based on annual electricity bill savings, assuming a daytime electricity rate of 17p and that you are able to consume 50% of the power generated. Your bill saving will increase as electricity prices rise or if you are able to consume more than 50%. Over 25 years – the life of your panels – your bill savings could exceed £19,456, if electricity prices increase by 8% per annum.

There PV figures (no battery) System peak power: 4.55 kWp Annual output: 3,581 kWh Solar energy used on site: 1,791 kWh Your bill saving after year 1: £304 Your bill saving after year 25: £19,456 CO2 saving after year 1: 1,941 kg CO2 saving after year 25: 37,850 kg

Yes ; I think octopus energy have a 1am to 4am window at 5p per kWh . It can’t just be on the figures I think . Add in an EV ( and you charge off pv for that some of the time ) then the benefits improve . It did seem like a good price . Also - what will the cost be of ‘grid’ electric going forward per kw ? . I kind of see it like buying a car . I could spend 5k I could spend 20k - common sense would be the 5k car .... To do it now ( and exclude vat as part of a new build ) has its advantages. Figures wise it doesn’t add up ( nor does the 20k car ) - but at least I’m trying to be off coal etc ...

So! What do you guys think? The total price for a 4.55kWp Solar PV system & a Tesla Powerwall 2 battery is £12,920 zero vat, excluding scaffolding.

You are facing the wrong way ! Should only see that when you are pissing !

Vertical grout lines above the sink aren’t equal distance from edge of sink . FAIL - redo , now !

Oh yes ! Agree 100% - tank like there is no tomorrow. From your pics you seem to be in a similar point to myself with the bathroom . We can confide in each other as we move slowly and painfully forward ! ? . Stay strong brother ! . Man was put on the moon ? . Domestos kills all known germs dead and Jesus has a Netflix account . Therefore WE can do this ! ???

Have a screen. @Nickfromwales advised me on this in another thread . I've still yet to start the bathroom! ; but trying to plan ahead!!

Yes ! I got something right !! ????

Can I jump in with a dummy question ? Is it not better to plaster board the ceiling , get it skimmed , painted I.e finished - before any walls or floors ??

Sex toy !!

“. No movement as yet. Not much fizzing either. Maybe I'll hear a big WHOOSH in the middle of the night!” - this your romance night then ???

Anyone installed one ? Who / how is it decided if you can have 3.8kw or 5kw ?? Just down to your grid supplier or the postcode ? Can’t find any real info about this online ...

Seriously you want to visit - no problem!! Couldn't be happier to inspire or terrify!!

Hey Sam I’m in bs9 - if you want to take a look how not to do it I’m your man ???

I reckon I’ll have around 10 of the sensors in the entire house . I guess it’s feasible to ‘jam’ z wave - but Wi-Fi . Mobile phone all can suffer the same fate . I dont just rely on these for security though ... ip wired Cctv , finger print scanner on front door and when realistic, facial recognition on entering the house . Also using your phone as a beacon to be indicative that it’s you ...

Yep ! But it works . Stuff like your link is certainly worth a punt . Not sure I want your Cctv watching me in the bathroom ... that would shock even the strongest of hearts .

I’m getting there !!

Aeotec multi sensor 6 - but it’s z wave . Powered via poe to usb on the unit . Works very well indeed

Messy ?

Exactly what my electrician said . So ; I’m doing it correctly but terminology might be wrong ! ??

You could fit z wave sockets to each room . You can then turn on/off remotely and also get consumption use ...

Exactly what I’m having One radial socket ring per room and one ‘lighting’ ring . Makes isolation and fault finding easier . Bit more work , bit more cable but worth it
