RE: Electricity price predictions

@diverted-energy afternoon. I still disagree with the term. The electric price varies throughout the day, every half hour and it’s known the day before. So typically, it is cheaper at night and more e... | ||

@jamespa I have two EVs as well as solar PV and an ASHP. It is a balance. The 27/7p per kWh means we average 19p/kWh like you. I’m also working with Havenwise (whom I introduced to Mars and this forum... | ||

I think there may be a little confusion in the wording here. When applying for a G99 to connect equipment to the grid for export, the grid is imposing an export limit AND an inverter size limit, in t... | ||

@julianc excuse the error. The gist being it is only viable with a 'fudged' tariff. | ||

Good argument. I have long been of the view that some of the policy costs should be shifted away from electricity and onto gas under the polluter pays principle, otherwise it's very difficult to incen... | ||

I should clarify that the FoxESS web interface is not local (you are not logging into a web interface on the hardware itself). It is still cloud based so not talking to the equipment directly. The equ... | ||

RE: A Customer's Lessons Learnt from a Heat Pump Installation in a Large House

I disagree. You don't even require G99 consent from your DNO if your inverters can't export to the grid! I have a plant room where I breed off-grid inverters.Their 240v output is not synchronised to g... | ||

Actually there would be a good logical case for this. Currently the policy costs (which are entirely loaded on electricity). fall on everyone whether or not they have a heat pump, ev or solar. There... | ||

@diverted-energy I think your “subsidied tariff” statement is incorrect. The range of tariffs offered by, for example Octopus, are there to balance the varying rate of electricity thru the day/night. ... | ||

Everyone's scenario is different according to setup, usage... and ability to get the best from time of use tariffs. For example in our case with an EV and solar + batteries we can get imports to avera... | ||

Why hide it with dedicated tariffs for Heat Pumps to make running 'look cheaper'. Subsidised installation AND running costs isn't sustainable. Sobering thought.. Were only 7p per kwh from Crisis '22 p... |
