#ashp — Public Fediverse posts

One advantage of the #ASHP tariff (#CosyOctopus) from #OctopusEnergy is that, if you have #SolarPV, there is a cheap rate period from 13:00 to 16:00. On a dull day, with little solar power, there is still time to charge your #Battery with #CheapRate electricity before the peak rate kicks in at 16:00. This saves having to make that decision the night before.

Even with the #ASHP, my batteries are easily carrying me through the 4pm-7pm peak period (to 9.30pm most days) #OctopusEnergy #CosyOctopus #OutgoingOctopus #ASHP #PHEV #MiltonKeynes #midlands #uk #solar #solarbattery

Two weeks in, and I am still having fun messing around with the configuration of the system to try to benefit from both sunny and overcast days. My aim, ultimately though, is to set up the system so that it does not require daily intervention. Maybe a different scheme in the summer when the heating is turned off, but not daily twiddling. #OctopusEnergy #CosyOctopus #OutgoingOctopus #ASHP #PHEV #MiltonKeynes #midlands #uk #solar #solarbattery 14x400Wp, 8kW inverter, 2 x 5.32kWh batt

They say the sun shines on the just and the unjust alike. Is that true? Asking for a friend #SolarPV #Sunsynk #CosyOctopus #ASHP #OutgoingOctopus

#solarpv installation just installed . 14 x 400W, 8kW #Sunsynk inverter, 2 x 5.12kWh batteries. The last few days has given a mix of weather, great for learning. Not grid charging yet because I want to see how bad the weather has to be at this time of year for me NOT to make it through the 4pm-7pm #PeakRate #OctopusEnergy #CosyOctopus #OutgoingOctopus #ASHP #PHEV #MiltonKeynes #midlands #uk #solar #solarbattery

I would look at Heat Geek installer map in the first instance for competent people as that’s the most important thing to get right at this early phase of the #HeatPump transition in the UK

Also, whether it is #AirToAir (known as Air Conditioning) or #AirToWater based #HeatPump #ASHP, one of the most important things is *not* to be oversized in kW output.

The results of both approaches in two houses are in some of my posts here on Mastodon
