    Only 2.3 Os under a mainly cloudy sky but second ASHP installed today. Now able to use about 20kwh of our generation this time of year. We will be a bit short in winter though. Prior to the ASHPs we were on track to reduce our grid consumption by in the region of 50% following the installation of solar panels last summer but we are now more focussed on displacing oil consumption.

    Enjoy JkenH far more econimical and flexible than oil. Not to mention reducing emmissions into the bargain. Can't match your output today with just 0.81 O's here today, the worst since 12th Feb. But hey ho, it'll surely be upwards from now on!:eek:

    Another cloudy day with 1.55 Os. The silver lining is the east/west roof arrangement performs similarly to a south facing one on these days.
