Its great when you get free hot water. During November I was not happy with the wife insisting on hot water to shower with! Cold water was never a problem for me in the Army!! LOL:D
Yea, it does get cold in Gib, when you leave the fridge door open ....

Quick question...
When working out my O's should I use 4 (kwp) or 3.68? Also which do I use for pvgis?
I've been using 4 but I think I may be doing myself a disservice as the inverter is a 3600....4 Kwp System, South Facing, 35 Degree Pitch, 16 x 250W Solarworld Panels, SMA Sunnyboy 3600 Inverter, Installed 02/09/14 in Sunny South Bedford - £5600

4 (your system size) is correct, not your inverter size:cool:
.....if it is can I change mine to 3.8:rotfl:
PVGIS is also 4:D16 Sanyo Hit 250s.4kWp SMA 3.8kWp inverter. SW roof. 28° pitch. Minimal shade. Nov 2011 install. Hybrid car. Ripple Kirk Hill. N.E Lincs Coast.0 -

I'll stick with 4 then...
I'm not complaining too much, Bedford seems to be a lot sunnier than I imagined it would be. Still not sunny enough though in my opinion!
0.40 O's for yetsterday, and today looks like it's going to be a stunner!:T4 Kwp System, South Facing, 35 Degree Pitch, 16 x 250W Solarworld Panels, SMA Sunnyboy 3600 Inverter, Installed 02/09/14 in Sunny South Bedford - £5600
