16mm2 for that run

was it the sports Mira ?

I think mine is called “sprint”. Or maybe “spirit”. Something ‘sp” but not “sport”.

Yes I'd definitely go 16mm²

So would I... BUT 10mm² For 51m (11V drop) 10.5KW shower= 8.743KW & 16mm² for 52m (7.5V drop) 10.5KW shower= 9.025KW so only 3% improvement.

We have 16mm just asked

I find my showers only use around 5 kW from the grid, due to the batteries ...

Could you perhaps explain that? Are you perhaps just saying that, provided your batteries are adequately charged, they will provide about half of the power drawn by a shower (or any other large load)?

I would advise you to rethink an electric shower, to get one with a decent heat output and the cable (and pipework) lengths regards not just costs and losses with current and water flow you could go a long way to go with a storage system rather than instantaneous. The cost of a cylinder and good thermal insulation and say using for example a 3Kw immersion heater goes a long way to negating your 10Kw instantaneous shower idea. Or better still go to the main house for use of existing showering . Is the perceived gain of this luxury so important a practicality?
