Power prices !

[Joe]

I will have to look closely at this because I’m already paying £200 per month and wouldn’t want to double this. I could probably reduce overall consumption by switching the system off at night but for the last 20 years we just run the hot water 24/7 and turn the thermostat down a bit at bed time. Another option I have is to fit an electric element in the storage tank and power it directly from solar as I have about 2kw of panels sitting in the shed for emergencies. I don’t even need to regulate this if it’s only connected to a heating element.
The power markets should stabilise in time once the carrot munchers find out Green energy is expensive.
