Little bits and pieces I've done over the yearsIntroduction
Many years ago I spent a lot of time creating my Andy Whittaker website because I am a firm believer in sharing what l know and discovered.

Recently, I have also been interested in looking after our planet by focusing my thoughts on renewables and reducing the amount of energy I use. I have built my own house that is fully insulated (cavity filled with 100mm of PU Foam – CavityTherm is the product), 4kW of solar PV (12 x BENQ PM096B00_330 Panels), ~2200W of Solar Hot Water (Valliant) and (currently) ~23kWh of battery storage with 2 x LUX LXP5000ACS inverters connected in parallel to 8 x PylonTech US3000 batteries. I’m planning to write a few articles in the coming months to share what I’ve done. I will probably author a few YouTube videos while I’m at it.
