RE: Any one got Solar PV Panels fitted.

I have offpeak storage heaters, house is 1985 vintage all electric and very well insulated as I specified extra insulation when I had the house built for me (it's a timber frame "kit" house on a small development of 14). I replaced the storage heaters with the latest equivalent to what I had last year, they aren't a patch on the old ones as for the same out put they are smaller, but don't hold the heat as long!
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Hi Eco-king,

I am a solar pv installer, the 6kw per day sound fine if you have a south facing roof. You should had a SAP cal from your installer, this would show the total number of kwh the you should from your system.

You have a 2.5kw x 0.8 =2000 kwh per year. So if you devide by 356 = 5.48kwh per.

I'm just happy doing my bit and getting paid a tiny sum for it as well.

Not done it myself but I have seen it work at other peoples houses and offices/factories,it does work.
Think the information is widely available on internet as is bomb making/drug recipes etc.
If I could do the same thing with the fuel gauge on the evoque then that would be a different matter Very Happy
