You can reduce the flow rate, 9 litres/minutes is a pretty good shower. Avoid a wood burner, they are horrible, and not as cheap as people think. not personally, but neighbouring plot has very good pressure and is higher up than me. i need to go and check actual flow rate- 6 hour round trip though consensus seems to be that boiler stove will over-complicate the plan so UVC looks like best route (unless flow rate is disastrously low!)

Save about 50-60% on shower water energy and get you a few SAP points. https://recoupwwhrs.co.uk/products/ - others are available. East or West PV in Oban will produce about 670kWh/yr per kWp. How about 3kWp East and West? You will never see more than 4kW instantaneously and a standard 16A/Dual MPPT would handle it. Edited August 25, 20206 yr by A_L
