Be very,very careful.Ken wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2024 10:45 am One needs a friend next door who is on Octopus export. I import, they export -nice money go around. I expect some could do this within their own property, say a granny annex with seperate meter. 50kwh/hr = £7.5/hr export. And then there will be Agile negative days ! Average of 1hr per day = £2737/yr tax free. I would be paid to do a balancing service for the grid
It is common for neighbouring houses to be on different phases and connecting the two together would make a big bang

That can be sorted by having a common battery with a DC interconnector.John_S wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2024 1:08 pmBe very,very careful.Ken wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2024 10:45 am One needs a friend next door who is on Octopus export.

Re: Octopus Free Power Hours
The sun is playing ball by not shining, only 1kW coming in on the solar which is allowing 92A+ to come in from the grid.
Both EV's charging, home battery charging and hot water heating with about 20V sag on the grid voltage.

Went to see new Alien movie during start of power hour. Shockingly bad movie. Bring back Sigourney in her wee white pants. I liked that.

Re: Octopus Free Power Hours
Fun fact about that scene in Alien - Sigourney refused to have any hair work “down there” and so the VFX team had to paint out frame by frame a rather large amount of vegetation…

Oh how the times change..
It was hard watching that cack today. A good first 10 minutes then oh dear. No Charles Dance, no sigs, no John Hurt, an AI Ian Holm. Ian being the best actor in the film... four years gone too at that.
Hell, even Prometheus had Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender & Idris..

This is exactly the same as me. I used £2.46 extra and only received 2p credit for the 21-08-24 session. I gave 31aug session a miss because of this.
