On the plus side a neighbour charged his hybrid with us via the CoCharger App with a return of £2.70 so easing the pain somewhat. :roll:
Wow, income from one CoOp funded from another CoOp. :twisted:

Work that one out HMRC. ;)

Today's output showing zero up to 8am, then 100% predicted for 9am to 9pm.
Data loss, or furled in high wind?
(And what happens if it is curtailed? do we get a "deemed output" payment?)

It showed zero from afternoon yesterday after dropping off rapidly over about 3 hours. Hopefully its another data outage, otherwise we lose one of the the best days.

WT1 is not subject to normal curtailment payments, i.e its too small to normally be asked to power down. There are however emergency powers which can be called on to switch off smaller generator.

It was explained by ripple recently if there was some compensation, for example some extended DNO outage in the local area. The compensation would be paid direct to the CoOp.
