MOXI!!!. :)

Thank you so much for your patience while we have been working on this behind the scenes. The wait is now over! We are so pleased to let you know that Kirk Hill data is now LIVE on your dashboard!!!

You will find key data on the Home page and the Insights page, so sign in and take a look around.

Part 1: Home page
Find total savings and generation stats for all your projects
Use the drop-down to see how each of your projects are performing

Part 2: Insights page
Choose the project you would like to view
Watch your turbine spin in real-time with generation stats (there may be a slight delay initially to real-time data)
See how your project has performed over time
View your generation, energy bill savings, and average wind speed in one click

Take a look at the video below to find out how to navigate your dashboard and get the most benefit from it.

Watch: The Kirk Hill dashboard tour
You may notice that the initial figures are shown as 'estimated'. This comes from initial SCADA data, and later in the month the 'estimated' data will be replaced with 'actual' data as we get the accurate metered numbers through. It is the metered data that is used to calculate the savings that will be added to your electricity accounts once a month, on or around the third week of each month.

Your first month's savings

If you are a member of Graig Fatha and Kirk Hill, please note that savings are only sent to suppliers once a month. Holding shares in both projects means that your savings will show on your electricity bill as one combined amount. You will still be able to see the breakdown between the projects on your dashboard.

If you have referred any friends, your first month savings will include any £25 referral credits due to you. You can see how many referral credits you are likely to receive by looking at the 'Refer a friend' page when you are signed in to your Ripple account;

Click the purple/blue circle on the top right > Settings > Refer a friend

This is just phase one. We are working on a new and improved dashboard that will be ready later this year. What you can see now is just the first step!

If you have any questions, our member support team is available to help. You can contact us via email anytime or click the live support option on the website during office hours.

All the best,

Team Ripple

Thanks JB,

I dropped everything I was doing (working out the static and dynamic head losses when pumping 50 million litres per day up a 125 meter incline over a 4,500m distance and then trying to find a set of pumps that needs less than 1.17Mw absorbed shaft power) to go and take a look - simple yet so so satisfying listening to the clink clink of the pennies filling the virtual piggy bank! :)

Happy days, weather and solar gain marginal today so this is a highlight

Lol no Fintray,

Pumps are my day job and I am working on a few transmission jobs presently, of which, this is one of the smaller ones in terms of mega liters per day transferred, distance and static lift.

I would love to be involved with a hydro electric job at some point and in the past I have dealt with Blackhall engineering who own the UK rights to the eponymous Larner-Johnson control valve for which I have produced one technical specification, (hopefully soon to be two) - pretty amazing valves even by modern standards and unlike many modern things they are still built to last.

Nice to be able to see KH getting it done this evening after GF's strong morning run which has faded for the moment. :D

2 sitetastic! It's been a long wait, the initial 6 month price at KH is keech, nonetheless...

Ah pal, I've got about 8 languages, mostly in beer ordering right enough.

It is going to take quite some time to grow bored of this.

Racing commentator voice "And GF is in the lead with KH trailing badly behind". Can only imaging what Nov will be like as each site jockeys for CF daily supremacy? I'll get my coat. :twisted:

Just looking at yesterdays scores and comparing with my own exporting setup.

And its KH bringing up the rear with a saving of 17p. :evil:
Image


Next is GF well ahead of KH with a saving of 75p. :roll:
Image


But way out in front is Nowty Towers with a net export saving of £10.32. :mrgreen:
If the FIT generation income is added, savings rise to around £30. :twisted:

Nice to know that at least one of my windfarms is doing well, its even making 10x more cash for me than GF today. :xx:
