Well played Sir! Net zero is an excellent place to be. Having the home generation in a well insulated, efficient machine property is/was my goal. A fair bit of it is about control (I'LL decide), a little bit is about profit, it's nice to see your own work throw off some cash and as Nowty likes to show. When the power goes off we are all still operating. Interested in which panels & batteries you went for kla456?kla456 wrote: ↑Fri May 23, 2025 9:57 am Again Joeboy!
Well, after our conversation I went for more PV instead of Ripple - good job too! I was never going to put more into 'Ripple' (have to find a new word) but I still believe fractioned renewable energy assets are the way forward for bringing the existing housing stock (non-passiv-renovated) to the 2050 obligation. But we'll never get there unless the building regulations are upgraded requiring all new buildings to be passiv-standard).
I attended last night's GF member's meeting which confirmed nothing untoward happened at Ripple, just too much focus on new business and took eye off the ball by not reserving enough revenue for operational cashflow. The new boards are getting the four projects sorted, but very soon they are likely to pivot towards a bigger question - how to address the business development opportunity?
Anyway, an additional 10.56 kW PV was installed on my high roof and 13 kW batteries in shed.
I would welcome any suggestion of a simple software (with symbols) to draft a single line schematic in preparation for improved monitoring.
I'm now nett zero, including appliances and transport (which are not normally considered in nett zero calculation).
That gives me a nice feeling.
The ExRipple projects are moving along which is better than the potential paths thought of a while back.
Octopus sent out an online questionnaire the other day for how investors would like to see the Octopus Collective develop. I really appreciated that they are doing this. It shows well for them.
