#poweredbythesun absolutely over the moon to have our solar PV array and battery storage up and running. Have wanted this for the longest time and only now am in a stable enough place to do it. Have a hybrid heat pump so looking forward to seeing how the whole system works... Image
...and if we can essentially go off grid for gas. We oversized the PV to future-proof and waiting on an #eddi which are in short supply to maximise the solar but @BoxergyLtd are on it and their installers Kingsway Electrical were amazing, going above and beyond on a Sunday. Image
Can see how it's easy to get a little obsessed about how energy actually works in the home. We've gone for 8kw array but it's only half working (one string needs reconnecting) but in only a few afternoon Sunny Dunny hours it charged the battery up to 60%. Image
Thoughts so far are: couldn't have done it without the @HomeEnergyScot interest free loan, but even then we were only able to do it because we had savings enough to pay upfront 25% deposit. For many people that wouldn't be possible so future design needs to improve accessibility.
