Octopus Kraken in action recently when an interconnector tripped.

Interesting to see it working in the real world.

Some amazing work going on in the transition to net zero

👍

Even cutting through the rather self-congratulatory language (and I must admit I hate boasting), the underlying facts are still pretty impressive.

105 m2 bungalow in South East England
Mitsubishi Ecodan 8.5 kW air source heat pump
18 x 360W solar panels
1 x 6 kW GroWatt battery and SPH5000 inverter
1 x Myenergi Zappi
1 x VW ID3
Raised beds for home-grown veg and chickens for eggs

This happened during my heat pump installation - I have to say the guys announced it gleefully which was a bit nice to see.
