We are using about 0.3kWh per day at home just with the opeeating parameters of the hybrid inverter. Everything that GFWT1 is generating is going into my slot of VB1 for Winter use. :ugeek:

I like the VB soc idea with a £1K scale 💡 8-)
As you cannot see the pics my Octopus account is currently in credit of £333 or 33% SOC. :mrgreen:

Ooh ya,dancer, nice one! My personal GFWTVB1SOC is currently standing at a well planned -10%.I am genuinely tickled that these things we speak of exist. Me n SWMBO are currently solar gaining on the back balcony deck with active cooling. 8-)

Very good news indeed, 3% beyond their best hopes? Nice! :twisted: :D

10/05/2022

The data for the first full month of generation is in. Graig Fatha generated 465MWh.

That's 14% more than expected for April under the P75 estimate - the level your ownership was based on. It's 3% more than the P50 estimate - the highest of the estimates set out in the share offer document. This is despite wind speeds being lower than expected for April.

It is only one month of data and it's important to look at performance over the long term, but it's a very good start!

That will be another 5% increase to my VB SOC. :twisted:

And just todays WT1 generation alone is likely to be enough to give me an extra 0.5% SOC. 8-)

Do we guess that the data link was down again this morrning? It's been pretty breezy here all day...

and a day and a half between posts on this thread. That can't have happened very often - since WT1 started spinning anyway!

Its either fecked or the data links down.

On balance of probability, I'd say the data link is down.

No message from Ripple, but that's probably cos Joeboys's on holiday and is enjoying himself too much to complain to them. :lol:

Indeed! :)
The 9.637p rate for the remaining 10 month's and potential 17% performance lift from the initial estimate is going to make a tidy difference.
Cutting them some slack these days.

I feel for the poor lady who deals with the unruly lot on their Facebook page, ..it's akin to an oil refinery full of chain smoking monkey's smacking uxb's hard
with wrenches.

& That ladies & germs is why I don't do facebook, in a nutshell.
