14.6 kwh today for us in Kent. Mostly exported as we've been away
I don't but I will consider one when my boiler reaches end of life. I hope to get rid of gas then.Slight derail but do any of you solar gang also use an heat pump per chance?
Im probably getting a house that needs a full refurb and the difference between a brand new gas Vs heat pump makes things pretty close cost wise. Debating if I shouldn't just go gas and solar instead. Air source heat pumps like under floor heating to reach 4.0 cops which adds more cost. I think a hp AND solar would be too much of a cost investment so it's one or the otherI don't but I will consider one when my boiler reaches end of life. I hope to get rid of gas then.
I am hoping there will be more options then however like a stone battery or a roof mounted heat pump........ hell i may just get a hot water tank and IR radiators ....
but a heat pump will likely be on the list to consider . they DO work but your house insulation needs to be good and also as I understand it you don't want microbore pipes in your system if you plan to reuse your old pipes
Bloke was supposed to come between 12-2 to sort out the lan connection but with 10m left so far a no show.nice, managed to top battery 4pm but not sure exactly what time as another data gap hit only have a 3.8 system so im between 1-2kw export unless the sun plays silly buggers lol, coming up to 6pm im about breaking even on usage/consumption, at 16:00:57 I was at 2kw exported but up to 2.9 so far now, sun is behind a cloud so only exporting at 145w now lol15 so far but sun is out and bright for Flux time!
