Re: Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov
Is the hour before still taken into account for base or is it just the same time slot of previous days? Just the actual slot on the previous 10 non-SS days. There was an in day adjustment in the past but that is long gone… And to be clear a non-SS day is a non DFS called day as there are many DFS c...

Re: battery secateurs
I use these regularly, they are a fantastic tool but they scare the hell out of me, truly, far more than my 70cc chainsaw or the 9” grinder that most people consider terrifying. The only ‘safe’ version I have seen is the genuine Makita, it comes with a sensing glove but it’s around £1000 so people j...

Re: BEV charger questions
Highly likely you would have no problem and be very happy but it is worth considering when choosing I think. Look forward to hearing what you decide.

Re: BEV charger questions
Lots of positives about the Zappi but ‘reliable’ they are not, join the EV installer page if you don’t believe me, you will see they are far from reliable. I’m yet to get one fitted so the installers offer a good insight, many of them installing several a week so a much better representation of the...

Re: New ground array
Yeah I found this doc which shows the reduction in current for 2 strings. The current will be 13ish max so with the labels generating about 300ishV, should be fine.
