mine hasn't stopped yet, 4.5 kWp still churning out 1875W! 22.4 kWh so far today...

...or not! I have had an email saying - Flexible Octopus prices are falling from July 1. Your smart tariff prices are coming down too. - To help you make the most of the sunshine, your Octopus Flux Export unit rates are staying put. except that the only change is a 1.7p drop in my standing charge.

I think most people (including me) can't really grasp just how big China is. Getting on for 20% of the world population, 6% of the land area. When you have an authoritarian state that size and they put their mind to something it's almost unstoppable. Which is a good thing in this case... I agree tha...

What used to be 30 mins max prep then go to work and have dinner ready when you get home is now 30 mins prep then by the time youve ha...

It goes back decades, if not centuries, last century it was called a haybox! I first saw it in a Scout Camping book in about 1965, You bring your porrage to a boil in the evening, then nestle it in a tea-chest (anybody remember them?) packed with hay and next morning it is (hopefully) still hot and ...

Looks likes it only free EV charging ... And not for the whole house (if on intelligent octopus go) so... 7p x 6.5kW (max car charge ish). 45.5p saved 😕 I'm not on anything "Go" but I am in: There’s plenty of green power in the wires tomorrow, and you know what that means… Free Electricit...
