    Addictive innit!!!:D:rotfl:

    Bloody is, it's got me interested in how my house performs energy wise in electric and gas, even been looking at degree days and regression - geek alert :eek:

    Bit of targeting and monitoring, I need to get out more

    I worked out how much solar energy I actually used each month and it was only around 20-30% so I need to look at other ways like the immersun

    Hi All

    3x as much today than the last 3 days combined ... funny old world, if tomorrow's generation is similar we'd still be below target for December ..... so fingers crossed for 'shades-on' days for Friday & Saturday too .... :cool:

    The solar thermal really could do with a couple more consecutive days to raise the whole HW cylinder to a reasonable level and rebuild a decent cloudy weather buffer ... as it stands, the top of the unit is hot (gas), but, until today, the lower parts have been not much above supply temperature ....
