Personally, I wouldn't consider either just for power cuts, as that's a sledgehammer to crack a nut problem for most. But of course for some, an uninterrupted supply might be very important.
I was just waffling about what is out there. Fun times.
Just as well then I have a lifetime's supply of scented candles, nightlights, wooly pullies, etc. I will buy a hot water bottle in an effort to have plan B, albeit not very hi-tech. Solar serves me very well 99% of the time and I don't regret having it installed for a moment.Solar Suntellite 250 x16 4kW Afore 3600TL dual 2KW E 2KW W no shade, DN15 March 14

0.50 kwh say the inverters but the TGM says only 0.33 kwh so that is a miserable 0.042 Os.

It didn't improve much either, even though the sun did peer through the clouds briefly. Just 0.102 O's today.Coastalwatch wrote: »Pretty grim here too, although one or two panels awoke around 9 am. At 11.40 just 141Wh's to show!
Remarkably, still on par for the month!
