Yes we finally got a duct laid around April of this year, I have pulled one 16 amp three core through and fitted a double weather proof socket and we have a small stainless steel kiosk to fit out with a local distribution board so that I can get some solar in the gardens and some extra batteries in the precast concrete workshop / shed / kids toys / the wife’s cast off furniture store - more the latter than the former sadly.

The car just charges off the type one as we normally have some excess power in an afternoon. We have had quite a bit of sun power since the duct was fitted and I control the charge via the car app and monitoring the Solis charge rate on the batteries. Not as slick as most folks systems but it does the job admirably enough for my current ( get it 😄), needs.

Being able to access the gardens potentially allows me to fit much more solar - I just need to figure out how much where and how to mount to deal with the weather we get at our elevation.

I am finally joining the EV ranks, picking up a 2021 Kia E-Niro on Friday.
64kWh of battery vs 16.5kWh at home. Really puts it into perspective about how much energy it takes to move a car!
10x 405W JA Solar panels (4.05kWp) @ 5 degrees
3x 405W Longi panels (1.22kWp) @ 90 degrees
16.5kWh DIY LifePo4 battery
Solis inverter/charger
0.6kW Ripple WT
64kWh Kia E-Niro

Update time,
A few more members, plus other improvements within the membership of the secret list. :mrgreen:

It seems some members have been extra busy with enhancements. :xx:

And now with “associate members” to my secret list. These are family or close friends of Camelot members who have installed a system on their property or bought into the Ripple Coop projects, and crucially the Camelot member had some significant bearing on it.

For example, someone on here persuaded their sibling to install a solar and battery system and another bought some Ripple project for their grown up children.

We now have 155 registered members and 20 associate members on this secret list, the collective keeps spreading its tentacles. :twisted:

In an average year 175 Camelot members will generate 909 MWh of renewable electricity onsite and 314 MWh remotely.

Onsite Generation
PV - 845 MWh
Wind - 62 MWh
Hydro - 2 MWh
Total - 909 MWh

Remote Generation via Coop's
Ripple GF - 51 MWh
Ripple KH - 169 MWh
Ripple DW - 48 MWh
Ripple WB - 42 MWh
Hydro - 4 MWh
Total - 314 MWh

Annual Generation TOTAL - 1,223 MWh (or average per member 6.99 MWh)


AND


The same 175 Camelot members have a combined 6,774 kWh of onsite Energy Storage capacity.

Home Batteries – 2,616 kWh
EV Batteries - 2,952 kWh
Hot Water Storage - 887 kWh
Thermal Mass Storage - 319 kWh
Energy Storage Capacity TOTAL - 6,774 kWh (or average per member 38.71 kWh)


Keep em coming, there must be more of you out there generating and storing. :twisted:

Publicly reply to this thread or PM me with your PV (kW installed or annual kWh), Ripple project, Co-op or other generation. Alternatively add it to your sig like many do and I’ll come across it sooner or later.

And now, if you have a family member or friend you have coerced into installing a system, buying into a Ripple project, buying an EV, etc, I will add them as an associate member.

Other types of storage too, EVs, hotwater and thermal mass storage.
EVs - gross battery size or even EV model if you don't know.
Hot Water / thermal stores - Tank size in litres.
Storage heaters – Heat capacity (kWh) or power (kW) or even brand / model numbers.
Under floor heating - mass or volume of concrete slab.
18.7kW PV > 110MWh generated
Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 33MWh generated
7 Other RE Coop's
105kWh EV storage
90kWh Home battery storage
40kWh Thermal storage
GSHP + A2A HP's
Rain water use > 530 m3

Update time,
A long time coming this time, but there seems to be no end of upgrades, plus a few more members within the membership of the secret list.

Its a little bitter sweet this time as obviously Ripple WB is no longer happening for Ripple members. :evil:
Hopefully the administrators of Ripple who are still holding on to the funds will refund the money to those members one way or another.

We also have “associate members” on the secret list. These are family or close friends of Camelot members who have installed a system on their property or bought into the Ripple Coop projects, and crucially the Camelot member had some significant bearing on it.

For example, someone on here persuaded their sibling to install a solar and battery system and another bought some Ripple project for their grown up children.

We now have 165 registered members and 23 associate members on this secret list, the collective keeps spreading its tentacles. :twisted:

In a typical year, assuming average wind and sun conditions and projects under construction are completed, 188 Camelot members will generate 993 MWh of electricity onsite and 253 MWh remotely.

Onsite Generation
PV - 929 MWh
Wind - 62 MWh
Hydro - 2 MWh
Total - 993 MWh

Remote Generation via Coop's
Ripple GF - 47 MWh
Ripple KH - 156 MWh
Ripple DW - 46 MWh
Ripple WB - 44 MWh :fan:

Hydro - 4 MWh
Total - 253 MWh

Annual Generation TOTAL - 1,246 MWh (or average per member 6.63 MWh)


AND


The same 188 Camelot members have a combined 8,047 kWh of onsite Energy Storage capacity.

Home Batteries – 3,069 kWh

Are you adjusting for the Octopus Collective Nowty? I came fully out of Ripple and placed more than my original Ripple investment with the Octopus Collective.

I should see £981 return pa before tax into my Octopus wallet on my £16.35k OC investment. At IO night rate that would buy me 14MWh of energy pa. Which I fully intend to do. :twisted:

Also interested if you intend to include G2W, A2A, A2W HP's?

The A2A's run about cop of around 3, maybe more? Don't know about ground. Is it worth including them all in an end of year count for their approx output? Mine is 7kW and runs at about 5.0 cop. Just a thought as we may have 100+kW+ of heat pump between us all? It adds up to quite a volume of clean power when spat out the other end of the mutiplier?
15kW PV SE, VI, HM, EN
42kWh LFPO4 storage
73kWh V2H EV
7kW ASHP
200ltr HWT.
3G
Deep insulation, air leak ct'd home
WBSx2
Low energy bulbs
Veg patches & fruit

I'll include Octopus Collective if any long term equity ownership projects come along but not relatively short term debt based investments with no voting rights as the first two projects are.

Heatpumps are too complicated for me to measure for anything meaningful but I will add a percentage of registered members who have some sort of HP.

Understood, I'll run another thread for the HP's.
