First half year of iBoost saves 357 kWh. Assuming as low as 50% efficiency of gas water heating this saves 357 x .03034 x 2 = £21.66. So perhaps £40 a year. Payback 5 years.I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".0

Monster day here. Started off a little messy but turned into a beaut. So, so close to a maiden, but fell just short with 5.93 Os and 33.1kWh. But the poor start boosted the WNW (bit more cloud to reflect light) and it generated 12.1kWh so just into maiden territory.
Today has made up the damage from the first two poor days, and the next two, possibly three, should be stunners.
Mart.Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.0 -
