[QUOTE="Richard-the-Ninth, post: 546277, member: 23472"] As you have a tube heater and an infra-red heater I guess you already have mains in this shed? I have made some [B]approximate*[/B] calculations. (NO extra 0's) The kit will cost £760 You said 3 hours/day Electricity 40p /kwh To break even, you will need to run it for 20+ years Is it worth it? Don't get me wrong, it's a great project, but does not make financial sense. [B]* [/B]Some figures were rounded up, some figures were rounded down, I also assumed 6 hours/day not 3 hours/day to allow for any discrepancies. VAT and shipping are NOT included, as is new battery as chosen battery is expected to last 10 years [/QUOTE]
