On the tax bands thing, I searched mine on the gov website. We are in a semi, and there is two pairs of these semis (4 houses total, on our road 1 to 4). Houses 1 and 3 are band E, and 2 and 4 are band D. They are identical, no idea how that was calculated. Thankfully I'm in an even numbered semi, but I'm sure my neighbours will be really annoyed.

In many cases yes, but you'll still have situations where **** areas will have improved and gone up in value significantly (and the opposite). E.g. my brother's house in Bristol is in a lower band than mine in Birmingham, despite being worth 2-3x as much because it's in an area which has seen a lot of regeneration over the past 10 years or so.
Ah DNO strikes again, WPD were not an issue for me, after I completed the G99 it was accepted just fine, and when I asked they said anything up to the maximum single phase 17kW would be possible at my property, so good news for the future.
I love having the battery as a whole home UPS, not just the extra savings that can be made over time. It certainly makes you think on your feet if you have an unusually sunny day in the winter, still trying to gather data on a daily basis, but I constantly moving the goal posts as more things in the the home move to pure electric.
Not really. Council tax band decisions are often bizarre.
I literally just installed a 12kw array with a 10kw battery, but I am concerned for my Mum in particular with these rises.
Politics playground will certainly be interesting
They really should look at the incentives though, I think I get 1.5p per kwh with my current provider

We already pay more in taxes anyway, now we will pay more again.
What's the break even point on a system that size? Looking at very rough figures online, it seems like you're looking at 10+ years?
Indeed. I also resent mine being in band E compared with other properties in the area. It isnt that great or big and pretty average. They way they work out the bands is pretty stupid in my opinion.

54% increase, I mean we knew it was coming but holy ****
Government rubbing their hands after taking their 5% cut.
I doubt it, and not as much as half the country are going to be rubbing their hands to keep warm. 5% VAT on essentials like heating versus 20% that they would have spent elsewhere.
Can you opt out, how's it going to work?

That is definitely going once my Sky deal runs out.
Netflix and Amazon only will do me fine.
Yup, unfortunately its a capacity issue with the lines to my property apparently.
Not sure I would go that far as thinking on my feet, im thinking more just to make sure our day time usage drops to zero and just find the cheapest E7 rate going to charge the battery overnight if it say, drops below 25% charge.
