Just bought 200w -now up to my allowed limit of 7000kwh useage across Ripple !!!! (with actual useage nearer 2000kwh/yr and reducing).

If I keep my investment under the 7000 kWh of usage, is it possible to increase that after today?

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
I disagree, ....... if yout total exceeds 7000kwh purchase (including existing holdings) a red box appears asking for proof of useage and you cannot proceed with puchase. It would not let me purchase more than 100% consumption despite the end limit showing 120%.openspaceman wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 11:17 pmnowty wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 11:45 pmYou can buy 2850W no evidence required or questions asked.openspaceman wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 9:26 pm I am going to have a punt but as I only buy 1000kWh a year I'm limited to 600W.

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
I was assuming openspaceman had no earlier holdings in previous ripple projects. If you have holdings in earlier projects then you cannot go over 7000kWh (maybe even 6999) as the sum across all projects before the warning of evidence required appears.Tinbum wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 12:58 pmDitto mine will only go to 100%ecogeorge wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 12:14 pmI disagree, ....... if yout total exceeds 7000kwh purchase (including existing holdings) a red box appears asking for proof of useage and you cannot proceed with puchase.

There is also a hidden decimal point in the calculator as you actually buy your quantity of watts to 3 decimal places which you will see when you get your customer agreement.

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
I recall from previous offers you can sometimes get the warning with it showing exactly 7000kWh because of the hidden decimal point figures so I would go with 6999 kWh to be safe. You actually buy your shares in milliwatts or watts to 3 decimal places.
