with no reference to slightly MILFy presenters of property programmes..

where do I site my CS?

Property is large 5 bed old watermill, with three outbuildings. 1 large 50 x 20 shed. 1, 15 x 20 garage, 1 20 x 15 shed in field next to leat.

option 1) next to pottery end of big shed. next to river, possible slight 6" flood risk. 70 feet to house, wrong side to connect to existing power generation of water wheel. heat could be used in winter

option 2) behind garage. no use of heat. as above for leccy and location

option 3) next to house, next to generators. Easy heat connection, easy power connection. Sound sensitive neighbours (nothing betwen it and them, and rural quiet area)

option 4) shed in field. easy to connect power, no heat, no one close so noise easy to overcome.

with this limited information - what would you go for? During winter, we make power with the wheel - summer we will use the lister via the same inverter setup..

Because of that, and your sensitive neighbours, I'd be thinking option 4. You'll presumably be using a lot less hot water in summer, so you can forego the H side of the CHP deal... just use the electricity to heat the house water.

Is there no way you can build an insulated box over the machine to use with option 3? ISTM that'd be the overall ideal solution.
