    I think regarding iBoost that the parity point has been reached with reducing gas prices where the gas saving at 50% efficiency is 4.88 pence per kWh and the export tariff is 4.85 pence per kWh. It is no longer a matter of finding ways to sink more solar energy into the hot water cylinder. Those on deemed export may find some advantage.

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).
