The "subsidised tarrif" comment is currently correct. Octopus loose money on time sliced tarrif but price them for the long term game to get customer numbers and increase their company valuation as th... | ||

@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... | ||

Previous was vented and I needed a shower pump and a very loud bath pump to get reasonable flow rates. All gone. All cold outlets in the house now potable. Better heat retention. | ||

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... |
