That's excellent to read, overnight was the first time we touched grid in months. Needed miles in EV and HWT topped up. The house itself ran off what leaked through the cloud cover and WBS got it done too. That was good to see. Hit the magic 1kW generation a few times in atrocious yellow weather warning conditions.

Cloudy today, zero blue but already got over 1kW incoming at 7.30am. :D

The Octopus guy showed up this morning. No1 son is off the dual meter/ dual s/c scenario.

Once the meter is present online we can get a better tariff in place.

Feeling your pain as the rain passes horizontally across the window here and the howling gales flexes the new bin store panel- decided it needs bracing and stays when the weather improves- IF it’s still there that is ………

Roll on winter
