I have a code too lol

My calculations are less generous but essentially I have a similar set up. Pellet Stove = 206% return or 12 years of free heating due to RHI grant. Solar Thermal = 71% return so far due to grant + generation. Zappi 1 gained 90% return until replaced Zappi 2 is only on 2% as it was installed...

I decided to do this 20+ years ago but the maths didn't add up. In 2011 I switched from an oil boiler to wood pellets & solar thermal. I got a 200%+ return on the wood pellets thanks to a grant but still have got just 69% back on the thermal so have a way to go, probably a 20y return. Sums...

That's what I got, but my bill doesn't change, well down 62p

Octopus wins & you get £50 to join with my link https://share.octopus.energy/funny-coral-29 Nobody has used it yet, so it's new, untainted, stuck years in the www cupboard :unsure:

1.3 kwh of grid use to the house . . .

The Tesla Power wall is still on old tech batteries whereas Give Energy is on LFP hence at least twice the life cycles. Quote from Tesla Powerwall 2 - Spirit Energy "The Powerwall battery cells are made from lithium manganese cobalt (LMNC). In this respect, it differs from many of the other...

So Drax used waste wood from the logging industry, so not using trees . . . until that was someone traced that wood back to virgin forests in Canada and logging for wood chips under spurious licencing arrangements!

I asked Octopus some questions . . . Q - when I charge during the day on surplus solar and plug in again at night, instead of receiving a schedule based on my normal 10% an hour added, I get a schedule based on the much slower daytime solar rate. Whilst it's brilliant that I get many hours of...

A few days ago, my Zappi decided to have a strop and disconnect from its Master Eddi. It happened overnight during heavy rain so I though water was the issue. Eddi said local comms lost, Zappi just spued out random readings. I tried all sorts of checking settings, CT connections, re pairing...

I already had solar PV for 50% of my demand, but low winter generations so I bought the other 50% via Ripple as a wind turbine. It cost me 58p/kWh capital and the return is above 10%, so payback in under 10 years then free leccy for 15+ years.

My 6.75kw system provides 95% of my EV charging in the summer and 50% overall, but I do not have a battery because then I might do things differently.

I have gained significantly more savings from my Eddi solar diverter than Zappi as it's always on, works from 50W up to 3 kW and is a cheap installation to do. Whilst Zappi is the best and I do get 50% of my charge via Zappi from the sun due to a 6.5kW PV system, the total savings are still...

I finally sorted out my IO integration yesterday and got my first easy complete charge. Good call with MyEnergi who told me what was happening was impossible, shouldn't happen and not seen before! Anyway, it seems that the hierarchy had caused Eddi & Zappi to fall out with each other, with the...

you can also check in the myenergi app under - Account - Integrations If that's not there, you are not yet linked. Finally sorted mine out today properly after Eddi & Zappi fell out with each other

I have problems with the MG4 if there's a long gap say 00:30-02:30 when it doesn't restart. MG5 is fine. For the MG4 I use greater %age charge to avoid this or regular lower amounts

There's a solution to charging when on IO to avoid control issues!! 1 - open app 2 - click on your face icon top right 3 - click on devices 4 - click on Intelligent Octopus Go 5 - bottom slide smart charging to off Hey presto, you can charge directly via Zappi etc but don't forget to switch it...

Apparently, when there's spare solar Zappi (you can set 0-100%) charges your car off solar but to boost fast or use Eco only the Octopus app does this.

Once switched to IO you cannot use the MyEnergi app or controls on Zappi to charge, I tried! You go on the app, set charge % and ready time and it schedules then charges for you. Otherwise you can bump charge at any time. Also the solar divert works normally, with % green set as required. I...
