Is it 4kw or 6kw for that many panels?
SorryâŚ6.88kw

Youâre doing well with that. Well wear.

The efficiency of the panels currently in circulation is roughly 25%, that is when your system tells you it generated 28kWh, youâve already realised a 75% dump in energy to âgainâ or âcreateâ the 28kWh. So effectively 100kWh have been lost.
Word is more efficient panels are in the pipeline, and, dependent on your trust of Chinese marketing data, you could realise an astonishing 20% loss only, thereby (theoretically of course) exporting a considerable amount back to the grid. The cynic in me would question whether or not our antiquated local infrastructure is suitably scaled for such pushing/pulling of power, but weâre years away from finding out.
Keep an eye on panel development and any marketing around ânew technologyâ where solar micro generation is concerned. For a few dollars moreâŚ

When charging the car, it takes around 7kw

Iâm not sure of your pointâŚthe 6kw is maybe a max hourly production or somethingâŚyou can see from post above I generated 27 kWh yday
As in I can see from the app that when you charge the car, the output of electricity to do it is 7kw. As in right now, the house is using 0.1kw as thereâs very little running only my workstation.

How much would it cost to replace an oil boiler. Itâs 15 years old and Iâd say not all that efficient at this stage

Hasnât given any trouble really but havenât turned on the heating since march Iâd say and needed a nudge to get going tonight âŚa service and life support until it dies Iâd say based on that cost
@Ambrose_McNulty has you covered there. A good clean and service is well worth a shot before you drop even more cash.
Get a fella you trust and get him to test it before the clean out and again after. Youâll know where you stand then.
Good man chopsâŚwhat would you be cleaning as a matter of interestâŚthe internal pipings?
Is it a riello?
Kill the power to it and whip off the cover and inspect the burner⌠blow out any gunk you see. Open up the burner (few bolts) and do the same. Gently clean the nozzle and make sure it all goes back together.
Have you purged the rads?
Itâs a firebird⌠no I havenât bled the rads is that step 1 if there is an issue in getting the boiler going .I only have a few rads in house actually turned on must check the rest of em
Firebird is the same thing more or less.
Ya Iâd do the rads first off. Turn off all heating/water and take them out one by one and hose them out until they run clear. Makes a massive difference if theyâre gunged up. Bleed properly once theyâre all back in.
Fire in the additive if itâs bad.
