Thanks for the picture, I wasn't sure how you had handled the terminal interface.
Very neat solution!

Re: Nowty Towers DIY Battery Project
Out of curiosity, what forklift fuse have you used, Nowty?
The ones I'm looking at appear to have a 11mm ID, whereas my battery terminals are 6mm.

Re: Heat pumps in their many glorious guises in Camelot V home.
Sadly no ASHP here, but I do have a Samsung HP tumble dryer. Only takes about 400-500w of power input and superb performance.
The E-Niro has a heat pump too, but I have no real idea of the power rating.

Re: Wind proof bin store
Moments like this that I wish the mobile air conditioning unit I was given could heat as well.
Saying that, solar gain is keeping the house pretty warm, only 2Kwh of gas used to heat the house today.
Good use of the unit for testing!

Re: Setting Lux to discharge to house while exporting PV
Stinsy, Octopus offer non MCS export when you provide sufficient documentation plus a £250 application fee. You can see an overview of the process here: https://solarenergyconcepts.co.uk/practical-and-diy/export-solar-energy-from-diy-system/ I assume that's what bpabpa did. I looked at doing this, b...

Re: Starting out on my heat pump journey
Likely just EWI, or external wall insulation.
If you don't mind a potentially major change to your house appearance then it could make an enormous difference to heating requirements.

Great news FTB, I'll be putting my S75 claim in with Nationwide today or tomorrow.

Thanks Joe, definitely looking like some mismanagement combined with arrogance at Ripple - a dangerous combination.

Re: Ripple energy "strike off"
Same, I refuse to use Facebook these days if at all possible, a synopsis would be great. I put £1k in, definitely money I would prefer not to lose with another mini human on the way. The lack of communication for WB has been shockingly bad, it's like watching a car crash and then realising you're on...

Re: The hidden reason behind high public charge costs
Agreed, I do not miss the queue at Costco petrol station whatsoever. I think the cost of public charging is a tricky one due to the wild variation and lack of clear pricing. I'm looking into replacing my mum's ancient automatic Fiesta with a Zoe, and amazingly even 60p charging is slightly cheaper p...
