Don't understand this bit. What you use the power for is based on what
appliances you are using when the sun's out (or it's bright).

I sort of get the feeling Will is confusing Solar Thermal and Solar PV.
The
former generate heat the latter electricity.


My heating is by oil and logs. It would be nice to use solar energy for
heating as well but I was told that because of the size of my roof that
heating the house by electricity was out of the question using PV arrays. My
electric bill is pretty cheap anyway (in fact I'm still in credit due to
former poor estimated bills). My heating bill is not huge either come to
that as we use our own timber for logs and we keep a cool house :-) So for
me to lash out on a solar system is simply not worth it unless somebody can
tell me differently.
