Re: Cider

In our village we have a cider syndicate... between the seven of us last autumn we pressed enough apple's to produce 155 gallons. We normally add enough sugar to produce 8% alcohol in the final product. We use my wife's garden shredder to shred the apple's, and obviously our solar panels supply the ...

Re: Solis hybrid battery and Zappi

Thanks Niko, I'll give that a try. We also have a Henley block just before our consumer unit so should be fairly easy.

Re: Solis hybrid battery and Zappi

Not sure if this is helpful, but we moved the zappi upstream of the battery (Powerwall in our case) so its now never seen as a house load. Moved the CT too. Prevents drain when Intelligent Octopus stick in some cheap slots outside of the normal 23:30 to 05:30 times. Hi Niko. I also have got a Power...

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

This should get you to the Kirk Hill site Joe. 55°18'43"N 4°44'19W It's an extremely narrow lane, when I visited last April I only saw one other vehicle and that was a farmer in a Land Rover. I think the shape of the trees tell the story. https://i.postimg.cc/qgxmxPJx/20220403-142707.jpg https:...

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

Apparently I'm sad, so SHMBO keeps reminding me. I have been working up in Bonny Scotland just south of Glasgow. Finished work at midday so I thought I'll go and try and find Kirk Hill. https://i.postimg.cc/N9yXzvX1/20220403-142635.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/3yfp1xk8/20220403-142711.jpg https://i.post...

Re: Part ownership of a Wind Turbine, fancy it?

Nowty, are you still adding to the secret WT2 list? Today I purchased another 640 watt's to add to our 1500 watt's from WT1. This should give us a total of 6000 kWh although we only use around 4000kWh/yr and we only import 800 kWh from the grid. Solar and battery supply the rest. Last year our solar...

The wholesale price at which your energy is exported is fixed and then reviewed annually - for both projects. This has not yet been fixed in for the next project, bu...

Re: Part ownership of a Wind Turbine, fancy it?

I will let you know Ripples reply when they get back to me. It's not all about the money, it's about Ripple being upfront and honest which I think (hope) they are but when I've convinced two very good friends to sign up to WT2, one buying 6000kWh and the other 5000kWh. Also this evening I was going ...
