The problem with solar in the UK is that it doesn't generate power

we need it most.

That's if you are obsessed about PV solar (which conveniently is
also the
only solar you can sell to the grid).

Now if it was a case about being *serious* about solar, rather than a
greenwashed ponzi scheme, you'd be using solar panels to directly heat
water and then keep that stored in your hot tank for used whenever -
thus
reducing your gas/electric consumption.

The point is in the UK we use most energy in the winter.

So yes piping hot water in the summer. I don't know about you but I
spend very little on hot water.

Even if you use 100L every day of the year, that usually only works
out at under £150/year in gas... That kind of throws many of these
multi thousand pound schemes for solar hot water into context.



Plus up to £150 standing charge :-(


Which you would be paying anyway assuming you want CH...
