A nice pic of Kirk Hill recently published by Ripple.

From Ailsa Craig (centre left island) to the windfarm is roughly a WSW wind direction, thats going to come in smooth and strong. :twisted:

Yes, the KH site looks very neat.
I have just had an email from Ripple saying
In order to receive your savings, we need to know your energy supplier and account number. If you haven't already, please enter your details in your Ripple dashboard by clicking your profile...
I was surprised that I needed to, as things have worked well until now. It's not a scam as a) you go to your account yourself, b) a note about it was on the website yesterday c) It would seem that loads of other people are doing it as I am having difficulty logging in!
A

p.s. it's no big deal, it is already populated with the info, you just click "save" on what they show you.

You will drive yourself mad! I shall be interested to see it when it comes on line, but are we really expecting to see data from the testing phase?

Anyway, besides GF (which I do keep tabs on) I now have another set of numbers to monitor - and what's more, battery discharge times to play with!

Monitoring the solar thermal is completely overlooked these days, I even forget to log the year-end figure... but on a sunny cold day I do sometimes sneak up there and see how warm the primary circuit has got. Always a pleasant surprise.

Look at you go! Very happy to hear the non WT news. Great times indeed.

TBH, I hope they'll take the time to maximise the advertising advantage with data from the run up of a multi turbine co-op. Raise awareness n all that. Fingers 🤞

Nice one Pudding, exciting times. Jamie will be eyeing up his next project before we know it! :D

Might get a little synchronicity flowing and end of April becomes Mid April at KH? :xx:

55.55% ROI on GF at this point in time, that has mightily outstripped all our best hopes. We still have a week to go until the 2 year anniversary :)

Any guesses on the next big thing from Ripple?

Sadly I'm scuppered as maxed out my 120%. Interested nonetheless! If it's an offshore WT I'll be investing via daughterly in Edinburgh. :twisted:
