Keep us posted on how you get on.Nick_Dr1 said:Did the web form thing a couple of weeks ago, got a price, rang them up to check it (seemed very cheap - now even cheaper due to the extra £2500, but yes, included all extra radiators if necessary), got a survey happening next week.

From a source close the project, it's around 3 unless you run them at 70C when it's likely to be significantly lower.Screwdriva said:Does anyone have actual real world SCOP numbers for any Octopus heat pump installation?4kWp (black/black) - Sofar Inverter - SSE(141°) - 30° pitch - North LincsInstalled June 2013 - PVGIS = 3400Sofar ME3000SP Inverter & 5 x Pylontech US2000B Plus & 3 x US2000C Batteries - 19.2kWh0 -
Can't fatham out the Octopus pricing. Lots of people getting quotes between £500-£700 full installed. I just had a quote through for £3600.All they ask is location, type of house and current heating method.0

Could be water heating. If you have a combi-boiler you'll need a DHW cylinder and associated pipework.0

With a SCOP of 3 or below, it’s going to be difficult for end users to save £ when compared to an efficient gas setup.1961Nick said:From a source close the project, it's around 3 unless you run them at 70C when it's likely to be significantly lower.- 10 x 400w LG + 6 x 550W SHARP BiFacial Panels + SE 3680 HD Wave Inverter + SE Optimizers.

Doubtful. Real world SCOP needs a whole year of measurement and there aren't many installed that long. At least I don't think there are...Screwdriva said:Does anyone have actual real world SCOP numbers for any Octopus heat pump installation?0
