    The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

    if you have solar pv and want to use unused power that would be exported, to heat your hotwater or heater ect.
    but dont want to use imported leccy when you are using more than you are producing ie.
    say you are exporting 1.5kw- 4kw and want to use it say running a heater when you are out
    light switch or current switch will turn on your heater but if you turn on say a kettle you will now be using imported leccy (not good)
    this system turns off the heater if you are using more leccy than your production so if its a bright day your heater turns on untill a cloud comes over or you turn on a kettle or tumble dryer
    then when kettle has boiled the heater turns back on again
    you can build the device for around £15 if you are good at diy
    if you want to know more about it message me and ill try and explain better

    update:

    if you have your leccy meter a long way from your heater and if you dont want to run a wire to the controller this can be done with a transmitter and reciever for an extra £12ish
