PM me if you have an issue with me - we can sort that out real quick .

Sure ! Perhaps you can drop the negative , self righteous god like attitude ? I certainly don’t come across like that - but you do . I’m not the only one to think that ....

Strange how @PeterW doesn’t respond to fair comments out against him . Like the argument how ‘green’ the manufacture of my battery is - which of course would be no less than any EV battery . I think ... If Peter hasn't got one nobody needs one. If Peter didn't think of it then it's not worth considering. If Peter doesn't agree, then whatever it is is wrong. Your opinion doesn't mean toffee unless it matches Peter's. If Peter think's it's not funny then it isn't. If Peter think's it's offensive it is.

Miserable (expletive deleted) on here

Too be fair it did surprisingly well . Min is 5% charge retained for backup . We got to 25% - so 20% on a overcast day with the odd 10 minutes of limited sunshine . It tells me in the stats that I managed 48% self sufficiency. So given the crap weather and time of year I was pleasantly surprised!

Oh don’t worry ! I intend to access all this info into my HA My plan to make it SWMBO friendly ( a challenge if ever there was one ) was a simple traffic light system . So red don’t put anything else on amber use if you must Green go for it Have this simple system on my wall mounted iPads then get SWMBO to check before use . Also have it email me if we change defcom levels so I can interrogate SWMBO about what she has just turned on .

Nah nah ! I don’t care

Main bathroom shower plumbing going in . All good apart from leak on the manifold ?

You phrased it far better than I could . Anyone doing any ‘bit’ is better than nothing . Some of us try to achieve more in this respect even at financial cost . Love to see your quote total for 3 phase , pv mega panels and 3 Tesla batteries . That lot might make your car look cheap ?

Agile isn’t for everyone. I think it’s capped at 35p . You can freely swap tariff anytime to their GO tariff . Lots of people obsessively swap between them to get the best rate . I’m sure by mitigating high load appliances to different times of day makes a reasonable saving . Agile is ‘beta’ , so you are a test pilot . How long before the big 6 copy this rather than on peak / off peak rates with no benefit to the consumer on the wholesale price . I’ve argued the toss with suppliers when they say ‘price is based on crude oil futures market ‘ - to have crude drop . Then 12 months later my price is the same or more . Or when 1 of the big 6 increase prices and the other 5 follow . It’s just a cartel - I hate it . I’m the consumer - I want choice - not rigged pricing . It’s about time the energy market got a fecking big kick - I applaud octopus for doing that .

Agree payback is around 10 years My train of though is that by that time batteries would of improved and be cheaper . So yes you could rightly argue the ‘pay back’ process starts again . In those 10 years until then my carbon footprint would of been reduced significantly- that’s better for the planet . If I break even in 10 years ; nothing has been lost financially.

Ffs yes Are you aware of your pointless responses wasting electricity and the earths resources ? Are you aware of the harmful effects of driving your car and its manufacturing? Are you aware of the products you don’t recycle that could be ? Are you aware of the amount of gas and electric you waste or use inefficiently ? etc etc etc . I can do 300 pages of this if you want . What’s your point ? . Moving ‘forward’ technically means also maybe a step backwards ? Let’s stop manufacturing lithium batteries then ? Will that solve the problem ? What do you want ? Apart from annoying me ? . Though baiting and deliberate arguing were not allowed on this forum .

I got my DNO to export upto 5kw rather than the normal 3.6kw so my pw is set for that .

Now I didn’t know that ! What changes are required to go from single phase to 3 phase ? . I’m guessing complete re wire from street to property??? ?

With Tesla I think that’s what you could do . But I still don’t get how you were allowed 3 phase on a normal domestic property ? Even if I wanted it at install it was mega money !! .

I guess your issue will be if you fill the roof with PV ( which makes sense ) you might need to consider bigger battery storage so more ????

Only if I hate you ?

3 phase on a standard domestic house ? ????

@Thorfun is on my Xmas pressie list for sure !

I thought the limit on a domestic roof was 4kw ?? . You got a mega farm ?

I think some gits on here must ‘drive’ a horse and cart ( cheaper than a car ) back to their steam powered shack - coals good to use yeah ? Only 1 planet Earth . Only took mankind a few hundred years to screw it . Time we all did a bit more than just separate glass from plastic with our recycling . Green rant over ?

Are you planning to get a battery and or PV? I’ve watched a guys posts on an octopus forum about his EV with PW . He’s obviously got ocd and is obsessed with getting it charged as cheap as possible . I believe his record is £1.64 for a full charge ; so 250 ish miles !

I think you guys should *perhaps* google other people’s bills with a combination of pw , EV , pv - surprisingly it does work ..... ffs ! . Jealous (expletive deleted)s - tempted to buy a Tesla car as that will increase the bitching for sure . Though a 50k car is a good investment for sure ( no offence to anyone that has bought one ) . Once I get a proper accurate bill I’ll post here so we can all pick apart .

It certainly will Also the battery is currently set to charge only off pv . Was 5% this morning ( I set that as the minimum) - currently at 7% . Not a particularly sunny day . I wonder what could be happening??? ?

Oh how we like to spoil the fun !
