• Are dual fuel (gas/electric) combis a thing?

    Seems all the Solar/PV options focus on having a tank of warmish water that you'll then use to lessen what a normal gas combi needs when you demand hot water.

    If you've got a battery then wouldn't it be an option to have a combi use electric when the battery has charge, and gas when it's empty. Or is it just that it makes for a complicated/expensive boiler if done that way so there's not enough of a market for it?

  • No but you could use the leccy from the solar to heat an immersor in the tank and then when the combo or system boiler fires up it only needs to heat it from a higher temp.

    What your describing ive never heard of as thats not really the way a boiler works.
