Great solution for heat in the lab. As for heat pumps have a look at octopus new heat pumps as they have very good cop plus much higher temps that should mean you can use existing rads and pipework + octopus Cosy tariff. The problem with solar is you get most electricity in summer when you don't need heat! Alternatively the split aircon/heat units have reasonable cop but also keep you cool in summer.

Solar panels in the UK are not a great solution, but batteries and inverters work well if you charge them on a super low off peak tarriff and use solar to top them up when the sun dares to pop it's head out. Everyone I know who has a heat pump installed complains their house is too cold in the winter. I think they probably work well in a new house that's built to be very efficient, but for older houses it doesn't seem a great fit.

@@WhirlyBlokeWe had solar + battery installed in Feb last year and I am very pleased with it - almost zero energy bills (inc covering our gas heating costs). The new Octopus heat pumps are supposed to be so much better as they produce a much higher temp and still have decent cop but over time they will get better and better.... Older houses do require much more heat as they lose so much - ours is early 1900's and does take a fair bit to heat.

You have a bit of hiss on your mic audio, try getting the mic closer to your mouth or run a noise reduction on the audio.. Does it make the monitors hot on the back? Are you not getting a cold "shadow"? I'm interested in these for personal heating rather than heating the whole house for one person...
