    @QrizB My washer only uses 0.5kw per load at 30c, then I run a dehumidifier for a few hours at 250w are you running a tumble dryer? 
    No room for drying on a rack except in an emergency, even though we have a dehumidifier (we lost the spare bedroom when our kids got old enough that they couldn't really share). We've got a washer-dryer which per the energy label (and our own consumption) uses between 4 and 5kWh on a full wash-and-dry cycle, and around 1kWh to wash only.

    A mighty 0.25O's yesterday, but overall Nov is going well with a projection of 104%.

    About 3% of annual generation left to make (or lose) for the year, so 106% for 2021 all but locked in now.
    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.

    I was thinking the same, earlier. Got to move house and install them first, though. Luckily it has clouded over a bit so I don't feel so O-deprived.
