The summer and autumn has been very poor with very little sun and hence the amount of heat stored below the house is not as great as first thought, but having said that the house has remained nice and warm with the Digital Self Heating Home system providing a warm environment with the temperature throughout the house not getting below 18 degrees even on the very cold nights such as this week when outside it got down to zero for the first time.
The gardens are now starting to look like they should, the lawn is nice and green and all systems are go for winter.
Thus far we have generated over 900 kwhr's of electricity and the house is operating an providing about 65% of power coming off the photovoltaic system. The hot water system and house have now been balanced and are working well.
The house is certainly warm 24/7 and hence has that real nice healthy feeling. The uPVC windows and doors are proving their worth with no condensation what so ever even with the very cold mornings.
The LED lights are great and we appear to have calculated the light requirements pretty well with the need to only add a couple of lights in the kitchen and in the walk in wardrobe to get the required coverage.
