Re: Politics
Just popping by to mention that I’m very happy indeed with the way this forum is run. We were rudderless in the mist for a while (after events that cannot be mentioned) and Joe came to our rescue.

Are you sure that “ 70mm²” really is what it was sold to you as? If the 50mm² lugs fit on it better than the 70mm² ones then it is very likely that the cable is really 50mm². Unfortunately fraud is very common in this sector.

Re: Octopus Tariffs
Octopus make this really complicated and their web is terrible, so I understand your frustration. However the reality is really simple: if you can (or can be bothered to) timeshift your consumption the IOG is the best tariff by far. If you don’t qualify for IOG then vanilla Go is 2nd best.

Jan 23 Deriy = £1,259/15 with one spare battery = £83.93 per kWh added storage. That's a 32% drop in per kWh price from Sept 22 to Jan 23. Yoi...
