No Council tax poverty is the killer. Is there anyone here who does NOT pay a LOT more for their council tax than they do for fuel and water combined?

Property cost is the killer... my mortgage is significantly higher than every other bill combined.

October 22, 20205 yr Author @Thorfun ; got the news - it wasn’t particularly exciting ! . It’s kind of what I already new but now ‘official’ , The Tesla tariff . with pv , battery and Tesla EV 8p/kw import and export with no Tesla EV 11p/kw no standing charge . It simplifies things and currently seems like the best deal on the market - so for now I’m going to go with that ! Makes it set n forget for old codgers like @Nickfromwales ? ; and other Android owners Edited October 22, 20205 yr by pocster

No it isnt, depending on the road chosen it is Bude, Bodmin or Saltash. But I agree, the inner parts of Cornwall are ugly, but it is hard to sell the place to dog owners if the old piles of mining slag look worse than dog shit on Porthemmet beach. I pay to clean up the mess. Edited October 22, 20205 yr by SteamyTea

Does that mean you could export 5kw per phase ? - if you had 3 batteries ? ( assuming that’s the Max DNO you could get ) Getting 8p kw exported ?? You would become a Tesla Giga factory for sure ! Even though I don’t have 3 phase - I want to know now !! Perhaps you could double up your batteries per phase - so 6 batteries ???

Aware that some people have 3 phase at home but im not sure if the smart meters are available yet? Will try and find out and let you know. “

Yep . From 3% now at 18% So tonight when I’m not on site should be pretty much self sufficient! . It makes me happy to know I’m saving the planet ?
