You can buy 2850W no evidence required or questions asked. ;)

That keeps you a tad under the 7000kWh annual spotlight. :whistle:

If I keep my investment under the 7000 kWh of usage, is it possible to increase that after today?

I disagree, ....... if yout total exceeds 7000kwh purchase (including existing holdings) a red box appears asking for proof of useage and you cannot proceed with puchase. It would not let me purchase more than 100% consumption despite the end limit showing 120%.

I was assuming openspaceman had no earlier holdings in previous ripple projects. If you have holdings in earlier projects then you cannot go over 7000kWh (maybe even 6999) as the sum across all projects before the warning of evidence required appears.

There is also a hidden decimal point in the calculator as you actually buy your quantity of watts to 3 decimal places which you will see when you get your customer agreement.

I recall from previous offers you can sometimes get the warning with it showing exactly 7000kWh because of the hidden decimal point figures so I would go with 6999 kWh to be safe. You actually buy your shares in milliwatts or watts to 3 decimal places.
