@howardp99 Yes, I get how the inverter rating is limiting, especially during the evening peak in winter when cooking. I figure our ASHP and background usage may be 1.5kW and the electric cooker is ano... | ||

You would think, but when I had my Powerwall 3 installed, the main installer/electrician was here for 3 full days doing the battery and gateway installation, and the solar crew another full day for tw... | ||

@old_scientist When I applied for a G99 I asked for a 12kW inverter and was "offered" a 7kW inverter with a 4kW export limit. They agreed that the export limit can be through a password protected set... | ||

Referring to an early point, night time firing could be caused by legionella precautions, could it not? | ||

@pash4pump Ive looked at the photos and would comment as follows: The internal insulation seems better than the external, I can see a couple of untaped corners which should be redone but I doubt this... | ||

Yes, I see that now, but I wonder what its internal diameter is? A very short length may not matter that much, but longer lengths may impede flow. My line of thinking was that if the primary pipework ... | ||

It's windy down South today, which means our electricity is dirty and expensive because most of the wind turbines are elsewhere. | ||

@pash44pump I don't think piping is the problem (though it may increase running cost). Your pump should be able to deliver max outflow temperature of 60C at -1C outside temperature. This should be mor... | ||

I'm on Tracker at the moment and intend to remain on it for the first year of ASHP running so I have the best idea of cost comparison. To me Cosy seems like it would be more expensive unless you have ... | ||

@bontwoody Totally agree. Even without a heat pump, if a 5 kWh battery helps storing the PV power generated during the daytime in spring, summer and autumn, and avoid using the grid in the evenings, i... |
