Well thats deffo John in the middle Moxi Correct there. How did you know? Interesting and worthwhile day out. My biggest takeaway was that Kraken now 'controls' over 500,000 EV chargers and heatpumps (I think worldwide, not UK) and that gives enormous flexibility to support grids lower net cost.

Sun is up and shining now and already covering the household use as well as putting 1.5kW into the batteries. I wond...
