Yeah think a normal house is about 21-23kw based on 100A fuse

Tumble on, dishwasher on, washing machine on, 2x tablets charging, phone charging, fan heater instead of GFCH, even charging my drill batteries

Phones are like 10W. What’s the point. I guess it’s genuine load shifting though to use none later

And now he’s pulling 28kW and uk grid is more like 230v. I was kind of joking but I wonder how long 120A can be held before the inlet manifold caused the floor to fall down

He needs nitrous. We all know that fixes the problem with the floor falling down.

39 minutes left on the washing machine, should be just enough time to get it in the tumble drier for a cycle (heat pump one so takes a while) before the window slams shut at 16:30.

Every little helps

I've got 3.1Kw of solar to overcome before I can grid draw!

I have poor solar today so I feel justified in topping up my batteries. I had put off using my washing machine in the hope of some sun but that's come on too.

Mercenary Keyboard Warrior · 21 Feb 2023 at 14:44

Well the sky fairies have been well and truly trolling me, solar was useless until 13:20 when it jumped to over 2.2Kw and then quickly to over 3kw

HungryHippos · 21 Feb 2023 at 14:45

Topping up battery as well, solar would not cover me today tbh.

Washing on, had a load to do.

Heating some in AC mode, still cold enough to use it, won't really need the gas fired heating today.

Slams shut, is that code for electricity off at the breaker.

It's 1730 that the saving session starts... so you have another hour @OldKitMan

you don't get anything for the hours use before the saving session, only use between 13:30 and 16:30 counts unfortunately.

And, it's all off again.

Haha, wow.

I managed about 8.5kwh... need my car to arrive!

Freefaller · 21 Feb 2023 at 16:50

11.4kWh for me.

Hawk Tuah · 21 Feb 2023 at 16:50

I managed 35kw. Gonna turn off the main isolator at 5 to guarantee no use. I'm out the house anyway.

OldKitMan · 21 Feb 2023 at 18:25

Managed about 12, got the water heated up, batteries charged and a load of washing washed and dried. Will see how much that yields.

dlockers · 21 Feb 2023 at 18:34

I did 5 which I'm impressed by. Could have done more but not sure the Hugo app works the same lol.

Looks like we got 300 bonus points for the saving session on the 13th. It comes up as 2x100 on the 13th and another 100 on the 16th.
