@morgan @info - for me, I will run my ASHP to do hot water and pre-charge the house with heating during those hours. Also I have a 14kwh battery which...
I am in the process of switching to Octopus Go - 5p for 4 hours a night and 15p for the rest of the day. This just highlights for me the need for sola...
@julianc I guess my PV battery does the dynamic bit for me. The solic only kicks on once the batteries are totally full

@julianc It will be yes. £10,000 for the whole system £5,000 GHG £6,132 RHI (plus inflation) £11,132 total from the government for the system
As a note - RHI approved. £219 a quarter for the next 7 years, inflation linked at CPI - more than covers my costs
@julianc they said it would be up to 10 days. From what I've seen it'll be quicker
