@mike-patrick “we were so poor…” 😂 For me, it is always trying to use as much of the electric I’ve generated via PV as possible. So reducing draw fr...
Update: so my ASHP is effectively off through the summer. H/w is via solar PV and Solic 200 diverter mentioned elsewhere. But the Daikin in standby mo...
Totally agree on the energy reduction and CO2 reduction. But I was trying to compare like for like. I spent £8 on petrol for the mower. Else all milea...

@dan-t I think all diverters work in the same way. Sending “spare” PV to wherever you want. If you switch the kettle on, for a cup of tea, the diverte...
Haha @kev-m. 21C. You need to wear a wool jumper 😂 But you are right, different parts of the country at different temperatures We are lucky to g...
