Seems a huge waste of power potential to me, but as low leccy users, lots of batteries and panels im over specced for the winter. Goal being no leccy bill all year bar standing charges. Have had discussions with neighbour about throwing a suitable extension lead over the wall to his to power his im...

Locally sourced rough sawn Scots pine timbers are on standby in a separate wee bit. So guys, question. Cladding? Spruce Pine Larch... Which one for cladding & why, any input much appreciated. 🤔 👏 Does it need cladding? That will further reduce the light in the rooms behind it. Pretend it's like...

and this morning we had coal back on, but both pumped hydro and straight each delivering 2%. I don't often look at this, maybe it's a regular morning peak thing?

I am gobsmacked at 405W black on black panels for £65. Buy a few and they get delivered for free, rather amazing 👏. Me too! Those same panels were £125 or so when I started costing my roof last autumn, had fallen to £95 (I think) when the install happened in Jan. I am really tempted to invest in a ...
