- Comment on ‘I turned into a solar nerd’: money and fun were the unexpected benefits of installing panels 3 months ago:
Can confirm. Have become a total energy nerd. Want more solar. Want heat pump. Watch how much we spend and how much we make every day. Tell everyone about it and have no shame. It’s a hell of a drug.
- Comment on New UK gov't approves 3 huge solar farms & wants to expand rooftop installs 3 months ago:
Good news. I installed 14 last year and expected if all went well to have them paid off in 12-14 years. Going by the last 10 months it will be less than 6. That’s from a combination of savings (1/3 of the energy bill) and also selling the excess to the grid (£164 worth so far) and all of Ttat’s at 55-ish degrees North too on a not ideal roof. Anywhere south of me should absolutely have them covering their roofs, there really isn’t a good reason not to.
Next up is top up insulation and replace the boiler with a heat pump. Possibly a second battery.

£59.30 for the 4gig. £79 for the 8gig. No idea why people are going off thinking they need to spend £165.

That’s because it’s not a line, it’s a circle. Go off one side, come back on the other.
