General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

As someone fitting solar to a small boat.

Both is an option. IE have a water tank that can heat water on lower power slowly. Making use of reusable energy. And a heat bump to efficiently use it. (Not really doable on a small boat)

And fit gas (i use electric) instant water heaters at the taps. I have it set up that I can turn it on and often use if when connected to shore power in winter.

But use a tank heated by a solar dump when possible.

Given how cheap solar panels are now. (£69 for 410w panal plus shipping) if your able to fit stuff yourself. It is worth the effort.
