only one?... isn't it four candles? Oops, wrong joke.

Impressive. That's over 100A @230V. Are you 3 phase over there?

Which reminded me... Q: "Siri, why do I have such problems chatting up women?" A: "Errm... this is Alexa"

Umm... but I thought @Rolfe was a vet 🤷‍♀️

(y)... but it's spring now, and has been for the last 3 weeks 🤷‍♀️

(y) maybe @OriginalBigAl can do a deal for you, complete with EV charging points!

If a Born/ID.3 is too big and you don't want brand new ID.2 / similar and Fiat 500 is too small, then iMHO you have a very limited choice. I haven't checked the dimensions but what about a gen 1 Kona?

I guess it just picks the word that it anticipates you type the most ;)

Up here... best is South (obviously). Next is East/West. But North is useful to add power, especially on overcast days - which we get a lot of :( - IF there is no roof facing E-W.

No it isn't. It's purely export power restriction in GB. It's better to over-panel.

Interesting. What inverter and panels are Octopus suggesting? Three panels is very low number for a regular string inverter (in terms of start-up voltage and MPPT range).

.. and a further thought to @MattyS's question... is that 8 channels on South facing roof? If so, would be worth getting quote for 8 on the North side too - obviously not in direct sunlight, but (almost) equally good when overcast. With panels at only about £55 each these days, IMHO would be...

Marginal, IME. 8 panels on a 5kW inverter will work just fine. And there's the longevity consideration that @T1 Terry has just raised.

(y) and the main reason why the GPO changed their telecoms van (pre-BT) from dark green to yellow

Here's what I mean in graphical form for a Trina Vertex S 440W panel.
