Wow that's going some!  No excuse for not understanding it then!

Yes! Our method of working is one of us does the analysis/ research (which is me on renewable stuff) and the other checks the logic and arithmetic. It makes for some tedious & technical household discussion for the fly on the wall, but it works for us.

 


2kW + Growatt & 4kW +Sunnyboy PV on south-facing roof Solar thermal. 9.5kWh Givenergy battery with AC3. MVHR. Vaillant 7kW ASHP (very pleased with it) open system operating on WC

That kerosene price continues to haunt me though. I can't see how the most polluting heating fuel is allowed to be sold at such low price. Where is an environmentally motivated government when you need one?

Our Government doesn't set oil prices (because we dont contribute enough to the global capacity), the governments of despot states do.  

They are like drug dealers, manipulating the prices to hook people/keep people hooked, with the intention of ramping them up when it suits them.  That's why we need to cut our long term dependency and why it makes absolute sense to keep our own limited reserves in the ground for some future occasion when, for whatever reason, we desperately need them!  Those who advocate a 'drill drill drill' policy for the UK are, IMHO, economically irresponsible, as well as being irresponsible from a climate perspective.
