'Hi Joe
Thanks for the feedback! We will be adding various data points to the dashboard over the coming days and weeks - we're really excited to be able to give you as much information as we can - but I've taken your feedback on board and will pass it over to our development team'

I requested a nacelle cam.we'll see what the next few months bring.
Same response I got - I requested historical daily/weekly/monthly personal generation data - similar to what Octopus provide. But not as exciting as a camera :lol:

I think that a camera feed would take it from the abstract for potential new investors and entertain us. :)

Would be nice for Ripple to do a fag packet list of what the display screen / app is likely hold.

& screw it why not have windy miller as brand spokesman, Quaker did for windmill bread in the 80's


I like the idea of a turbine revolution sound effect (toggle) along the way, after all many of us grew up with windy, the sound is memory evoking & a bit of fun, maybe the sound for going forward / back a page (gearing, ..some steam punk-dry for joe)

If windy popped up with hourly / forecast state I think it would be generationally appealing fun saying look how far we've come but our origins are parallel.
Dr mopp, when the turbines are being serviced / site interruptions. (& for a 404 site pages down captain flack of the fire brigade saying "no, no, not the hose)s

To advertise eco credentials ... "ah yes but what about construction energy costs" ..blah blah blah, a countdown to carbon negate itself in energy produced ongoing compared to other energy production techniques (eg, a coal powered station just burnt "x" to make the equivalent of what our blades simply pushed air around today)

To link in with gridwatch for a wider shared understanding of cleaner power, highlighting greener days, (coal free records achieved) etc.

Gus,
They are open to all suggestions from investors. You should send it in? I loved Trumpton as a boy. :D

Nowty,
Woke up this morning thinking that Virtual Battery with an Infinite storage capacity is an excellent way to view WT1.. 👌

I will be charging at 2.61kW all day & night into the VB. :)

Aye, its a cracker! I'm all chuffed with myself. At age 53 just made my first spreadsheet! Nice and simple month columns with sum at end then a year total. Also a multiplier below the month column sum to show figure in cash and also a year end total in cash. Going to keep it simple and just add the 4 day prediction figures as we go forward. It won't be bang on accurate as generation will change through the day but it will be close enough until they mod the website gauge. :D

I'm wondering about putting some more into WT2 as I understand it's based on usage and not grid import. :D

Sod the "cornetto trilogy" of pegg & wossiname

The Trumpton, Camberwick green & Chigley Triptych is where it's at.
