What tariff you on right now? Go?
2 year Fixed rate until October 2023 with Sainsburys.

Ah ok
I'm on go but it runs out end of Sept next year.
Agile export could be really beneficial for exporting across summer months, but risk is if you come off Go you may not be able to go back onto it and its great for winter battery charging.
Indeed will certainly make an informed decision, either way I'll have to come off my current deal next October, and I should be nigh on self sufficient from mid March onwards, so will be looking for lowest cost overall which is likely agile for my usage profile.

Not at the moment, it's just what people posted.
You just can't get the staff these days can you
Dam, I had the top spot most of the day and just got pipped at the endI appear to have won the radiation sponge award today!
I can retire now (unless someone is late sending in data!).

I think the solar radiation has gone to our heads!

Not at 1kWh a day.. although Katie get tenfold so Scotlandbados its possible!
Has anyone had an installation done by https://www.ecorenewablesgroup.co.uk? Their prices are quite competitive which makes me slightly nervous.

That LG CHEM battery package looks juicy. Those batteries are not cheap and from what I understand one of the best on the market. The battery being 16KW means even after 10 years it should have over 10KW capacity.
Anyone have the Chinese Longi panels? They any good? I wonder if it is worth paying the extra for sunpower ones? They seem slightly better, but also never know when the Taiwan issue will escalate and possibly make the warranty worthless? Thoughts?
From £14,495!

Looks like its going to be one of those solar days today....starting fine and then cloud kicking in lunchtime again

It's ridiculously sunny here, SE panels are being irradiated well, shame I can't see the stats, might just start manually measuring the input voltage on the inverter.
